The two-channel preamp of the
can be operated in stereo mode. When it
is in the “on” position, the switch labeled “Ch 2” connects the channel to the
internal power amp and speaker. When it is in the “off” position, it is
disconnected
output. By connecting the send output to a satellite power amplifier, and putting
the switch in the off position, the preamp operates in stereo mode. Note that
channel 2 remains in the direct out signal even when the switch is in the off
position. This is done since stereo operation is typically a “stage” mode but not
a “house” mode (house systems are typically not stereo). The Ch 2 switch has
a red button to remind you that is is an important switch.
Our high-quality effects unit offers 6 program selections: 3 reverb programs
(Hall, Room and Plate), a delay, an ambient chorus and a flanger. There are
switches to select which of the two channels are processed by the effects unit.
Either channel can be connected to the effects unit. If both switches are
engaged, the selected program appears in both channels. A level control
affects the level of the effects signal that is mixed with the “dry” signal to control
the overall effect of the selected program. You should experiment with both the
program selection and the level control to find the sound that you prefer. When
effects are not used, the switches for both channels should be off and the level
control should be turned fully counterclockwise. Note that the flange effect is
noisy, it is normal the hear the modulation of the flanger when no signal is
present.
There is a headphone output on the rear panel of theTen2. You can plug a
standard 1/4 inch stereo plug into this output to connect a headphone for
private listening. If your headphone has a 1/8th inch plug, you can buy an
adapter to allow you to use the 1/4 inch output jack.
When you plug into the jack, the amp is muted. Sound will only be heard
through the headphones. The headphone is connected to the output of the
preamp so all of the controls on the preamp, including effects, will affect the
signal heard through the headphone. When the headphone plug is removed
from the jack, the amp will come back on.
Anytime anything is plugged into the headphone output jack, the
amp will be muted so make sure that nothing is plugged into the jack when you
want to use the amp normally.
The amp head component of the Ten2 can be removed and used as a stand-
alone amplifier. To remove the head unit, first disconnect the short speaker

Note that channel 2
will not be heard through the speaker system unless the Ch 2 switch is in
the depressed or on position. If you are not hearing channel 2 in the
output, check to be sure that the switch is on.

There is about a 5 second delay
between removal of the plug and the amp coming back on, so expect a
pause before you will hear anything from the amp after the headphone is
removed.
