Samson 10 Watt Guitar Combo G10 - Manual (Page 4)

Introduction
We know you don’t like reading owners manuals, but you’ve just purchased one of
the finest guitar amplifiers around, and we want to tell you about it! So, before you
plug in and start strumming and shredding, we’d like to suggest you take just a few
moments to scan these pages. We’ll make it as painless as possible, we promise—and,
who knows, you might just pick up a tip or two.
Like all Hartke guitar amplifiers, the G10 has been designed for modern guitar players
looking for a new sound that respects the tone of a classic amp. This combo is the per-
fect first amp for a beginner, and also makes a great practice amplifier for the profes-
sional guitarist. With an amazingly wide variety of tone, guitar players can rediscover
the sound from a favorite old vintage amp, or dial up a new sound that’s uniquely
their own. The G10 features Hartke's G Series burn'in-hot pre amp, switchable
CRUNCH control for clean and dirt and a matching Hartke GXL speaker custom voiced
for harmonic overtones that add to the warmth and richness of the sound. Plus, the
versatile, and musical, equalizer provides BASS and TREBLE to shape the sound the
best complements your playing style. The G10 features a steel amplifier chassis, enclo-
sures made of rugged Plywood and MDF construction, with durable vinyl covering.
Plus, the onboard headphone output makes it an awesome practice amp day or night!
Whether your a gig-tested professional or just starting out, the G10 assures powerful
output, robust construction and that great Hartke sound.
In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the many features of your G10
amplifier, as well as a guided tour through its front panels controls, step-by-step
instructions for setting up and using the amp, plus full specifications. You’ll also find
