J. FX BLEND - Adjusts the amount of effects loop

“wet” signal mixed with the “dry” signal.

K. PRE/POST - Supplies the LINE OUT {N} jack with

the signal either before or after it is processed by the
amplifier’s equalization/tone circuits.

PRE—EQ bypassed

POST—EQ active

L. LINE LEVEL - Adjusts the output level of the LINE

OUT jack {N}.

M. GROUND LIFT - Disconnects the LINE OUT {N}

ground connection (pin-1) which may reduce hum
noise in some situations.

GROUNDED (normal)

GROUND LIFTED

N. LINE OUT - This jack allows you to send signal from

the preamp section out to an external source (such
as a house mixing console or a recording device).
The on board “level” control allows for adjustment of
signal strength. Use the “Pre/Post” control to select
if you would prefer the bass signal to be affected by
the EQ changes you make (post) or before the EQ, to

give an unaffected signal (pre). The “Ground Lift” is
there to eliminate buzz resulting from connection to
improperly grounded equipment.

O. MUTE - Disables all amplifier outputs except for

TUNER OUT {X}.

The LED flashes when MUTE is

active.

P. MASTER - Adjusts the power amp signal level. Use

together with VOLUME {C} to set the overall
loudness of the amplifier.

PWR AMP CLIP—Indicates power amp clipping.
Reduce MASTER level if you hear distortion when
this LED is on.

Q. POWER - Switches the amplifier on-off. Illuminates

when the unit is powered on.
