Setup
Please refer to the illustrations in the section entitled “The
Guitarist’s Guided Panel Tour” (page 6).
1. Turn the MASTER volume on the amp all the way
down.
2. Insert the batteries as shown on page 5.
Alternatively, plug the supplied AC adapter cord into
the DC IN jack on the rear panel, then plug the AC
adapter into a wall outlet.
NOTE: Never use any AC adapter other than the included one.
3. Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack on the top panel.
If you also plan to use a CD or MP3 player, or a mi-
crophone, connect the player to the AUX IN jack or
the microphone to the MIC INPUT jack on the rear
panel.
4. Turn on the POWER switch.
5. Slowly raise the MASTER volume to a desired level.
HINT: The rear panel POWER SELECT switch controls the
output level of the power amp, letting you adjust the
volume while keeping that great-sounding power-amp
distortion!
HINT: Selecting a lower output wattage during battery opera-
tion will extend battery life.
Installing Batteries
Remove the battery compartment cover located on the bot-
tom of the unit by pulling the ribbon. Insert six C alkaline

rect polarity.
NOTE: Batteries are not included. You will need to purchase
them separately. Never use any type of battery other
