Allow the TLA-100A to warm up for at least 15 minutes before using it in
your processing chain. The tubes and other circuitry need time to reach an
electronic equilibrium before they will operate at optimal specifications.
For the longest life, it is recommended that you turn off the unit when it is
not in use.
Please mount the unit in your rack, making sure that there is sufficient
ventilation, especially on the right and left side of the chassis. The
TLA-100A will generate a significant amount of heat; therefore, it is
necessary to have good air flow to prevent damage to your TLA-100A or
any other pieces of gear housed in the rack with it.
The tubes in your Summit Audio TLA-100A have been intensely screened
for desired distortion and gain characteristics. We recommend that you do
not replace the tubes with “guitar amp” tubes. Please consult your dealer
about availability of appropriate replacement tubes. These can also be
ordered directly from Summit Audio.
Please fill out the warranty info at www.summitaudio.com for a full three-
year warranty on your TLA-100A. If you have any questions about the
operation of your TLA-100A, please do not hesitate to call our Customer
Service Department at 775-782-8838 or contact us on the internet at:
