REAR PANEL
On the rear panel there is a Loop section that allows you to mix the original sound of the combo withyour effect, at 50%.The Send has been studied to serve stomp efx and rack efx, to obtain always the maximum sound result.
The Send level depends by the volume control level of the two channels.
MIX control settings :- parallel loop (50%). Set the switch on Parallel mix 50% position.- serial loop. Set the switch on Serial position (100%).
- three jack input, used as remote switch.

Midi Footswitch
- foot pedal supplied with the amplifier.
Warning!FOOT socket is for the supplied MC2 footswitch only! . Using other footswitch(i.e. midi footswitch) the Remote system can be damaged.
FOOT PEDAL EFFECTS (Stomp efx)
To achieve the maximum sound result we suggestthat you insert in the loop only modulation effects(i.e. chorus, flanger, delay, reverb etc.)Set the switch on Serial position (serial mode),in this way the signal will be completely processedby the effect. On the pedal modulation effects usuallythere's a Level control, adjust it as per the effectquantity you desire.
RACK EFFECTS (Rack efx)
We suggest that you set on zero "0" the Direct (Dry) onyour effect and set the switch on Parallel mix 50% position.In this way you have the mix at 50% betweenthe original sound of the head and your effect (Wet).
Channel switching, can be controled by :
ATTENTION!!If you don't use effects set the switch on ''Parallel mix 50%'' position.In Serial position there's no sound
REAR PANEL
HOW TO USE THE SENDIn the normal use the SEND output can be used to connect an external power amp and its cabinettogether to the combo. (See example).
HOW TO USE THE EXT SPKR
EXT SPKR allows you to use an external speaker together to the internal one.Pay attention to set the right impedance.

Out Select on the power ampthe same impedance valueof the cabinet(in this example 16 ohm).
This knob controls theVOLUME of theCLEAN channel.TheBRIGHT switch deliversa brighter sound.
These knobs controlthe equalization ofthe CLEAN sound.Each knob is like avolume in its band.On 0 position thereis no sound.
These knobs controlthe equalization ofthe drive sounds.Each knob is like avolume in its band.On 0 position thereis no sound.
The DRIVE knobscontrol the Gainquantity of theCRUNCH andLEAD channels.MASTER knobs setthe volume.
The REV knobscontrol the level ofreverb for the CEANor CRUNCH/LEADchannels.The yellow ledshows the functionis on.
The red led shows theEDGE function is on. Thisspecial function able tochange the harmonic ratioof the sound. You can addit to all the channels.
With these monojacks you can controlthe channel switchingin case of breakdownof your footswitch.The REV and EDGEfuntcions are notcontrolled.
Warning! Use thisoutlet only with thesupplied footswitch.Other systems cancause damages toMC2.
The effect loop canaccept signals from rackprocessors with -10dblevel.You can choose theoption you prefer(serial/parallel).
HT FuseType: SB500mA
EXT SPKR allows you touse an external speakertogether to the internalone. Pay attention to setthe right impedance.
Line voltage value,power fuse value,serial number andproduction date,are printed onthe label.
FRONT PANEL - CONTROLS
Empty area reservedto the head's owner(i.e. You canwrite your name)
ATTENTION!!To replace theHT fuse use aSB (slow blow)type with thesame value.
ATTENTION!!To replace thepower fuse use aSB (slow blow)type with thesame value.
ATTENTION!!If you don't use effects
set the switchon ''Parallel mix%' position,
in Serial position there's no sound

PREAMP TUBES
The preamp tubes are used to preamplifier the signal. They usually last the entire life of the amplifier.
The possible problems of these kind of tubes are: microphonics and noise.
MicrophonicsThe microphonics is the ability of a tube to reproduce external vibrations further the signal.This phenomenon can be much more evident in high gain stage like the distortion channels.
Lightly tapping on the glass side of the preamp tubes, while the head is on, you' ll hear a stroke through thespeaker, this is normal don' t worry.But if you hear hi frequencies (ringing or squealing) and in some case a distorted sound, it means that the tube ismicrophonics.
You will note that the first tube is more subject to reproduce this stroke more than the others, because it' s atthe begin of the preamplification chain.
NoiseTube has an own intrinsic floor noise that comes from its work and construction.
During tube life this noise may increase creating a sort of a ringing or squealing.In these two cases, you have to find the defective tube and repleace it with a new one.
The preamp tube doesn't need to be selected, (normally this control has been made by the constructor), but be sureto replace with good quality tubes.We suggest thay you use tubes of same brand and model.
POWER TUBES
Power tubes are the last amplification stage before the out trasformer and speaker out, and they can get exhausted.
Normally a power tube working in A/B class lasts 800 - 1000 hours. It depends also on the volume used.
In an amplifier with same power, in A class, the tube lasts 600 - 800 hours. In this class work tubes are more stressed.
When replace power tubes
You can recognize an exhausted tube because there's a loss of power and volume. Sound has not the same impact,in particular on low frequencies.
Main faults on this kind of tube are :- short inside the tube. In this case normally the HT fuse will blow.- tube light off. It's easy to recognize this problem tube because you can't see any light inside the tube.- tube become glowing. In this case there's an increase of noise (hum) and sound will be distorted.
In all the above cases tubes can' t be fixed, and have to be replaced.
If the problem tube has worked more that 1 year, we suggest that you replace all power tubes, this to guarantee thebest performance of your amp.
If the problem tube has less than 1 year you can replace only that one.
Warning!!You have to mount only selected and matched tubes, with the same characteristics of the tube supplied on youraplifier. See the ''Matching Reference'' label on the tube.If you mount tubes with different ''Matching Reference'' is necessary to adjust the Bias, to let the amp work properly.
GENERAL INFORMATION
MODULATION EFFECTSThe main characteristic of the modulation effect (see example) is to add and/or lay other wave forms to the signal.This kind of effect should be used in the loop effect of your amp, that is between the Premaplifier and the Poweramp.
SYNTHESIS EFFECTSThe main characteristic of the synsthesis effect (see example) is to modify the signal wave form. (i.e. thedistortion effects).This kind of effect should be used between the guitar and the input of your amp, in a standard connection chain.
SERIAL LOOPIn a Serial Loop all the output signal coming from the Preamp passes throught the effect. In this case on youreffect unit it is necessary to adjust the balance between the DIRECT (DRY) and the EFFECT( WET).
PARALLEL LOOPIn a Parallel Loop only a part of the direct sound passes throught the loop effect, without going out from theSend. This part of the signal will be mixed with the signal that comes from the Return.In this connection the quality of the effect is not so important as it is in the Serial Loop connection, because theDirect will be kept by the loop (see drawing).
