TV-60/120/6210/6212 GUITAR AMPLIFIERS

INTRODUCTION:

The TV-60, TV-120, TV-6210 and TV-6212 are feature-packed professional stage performer’s ampli- fiers. Rugged construction, reliable American craftsmanship and two powerful channels of pure tube power are some of the trademarks of these new and impressive pieces of musician's equipment. All four ampli- fiers feature two distinctly different 12AX7 tube-driven channels: one with classic tube rhythm sounds and one offering you some of the finest lead and overdrive sounds of any stock amplifier.

Each channel features an all-tube preamp section with three bands of equalization for total tone con- trol. The master Presence control lets you custom tailor the sound of your guitar to suit your particular needs.

The Line Out signal is tapped directly from the speaker outputs, then attenuated and frequency-com- pensated to replicate the sound of a miked speaker cabinet. Two speaker output jacks along with an impedance selector switch provide easy impedance matching to a wide variety of cabinet configurations. The TV-60, TV-6210 and TV-6212 deliver a solid 60 watts of musical output power, while the TV-120 deliv- ers a full 100 watts.

FEATURES:

Here's a quick overview of the Turbo Valve’s features and controls. Additional information can be found on the pages indicated.

•Patented Channel Switching Circuitry: Achieves maximum use of each preamp tube - so unique it's patented!

•Boost Control: Like adding a third channel to your amp. Gives a big boost to the midrange fre- quencies and the overall gain of Channel Two via the front panel switch or a footswitch (page 4).

•Adjustable Presence Control: Fully adjustable upper harmonics level for changing the "presence" of both channels (page 4).

•Auto-Biasing Circuitry: Want to change your sound? Change your tubes! Internal circuitry allows the use of either 6L6 or EL34 power tubes with no manual bias adjusting (page 7).

•D.C. filament supply for first two stages: eliminates the need for a “hum balance” control.

•Effects Loop: For noiseless patching of external effects, or use as a preamp out/power amp in con- nection (page 5).

•Balanced Out Jack: Taken directly from the speaker output signal, this electronically balanced and frequency compensated output lets you patch into house sound boards, recording consoles, etc. with ultimate sonic fidelity (page 5).

•Footswitch Jacks: Two separate jacks – one for channel selection and boost control and one for reverb on/off control – allow use of a two or three-button footswitch for total control (page 5).

•Speaker Jacks: Speaker connector / impedance switch combination allows a variety of cabinet con- figurations (page 5).

•High Cosmetic Appeal and Stage Presence: The unique cosmetics of the Turbo Valve amplifiers serve as a tribute to your good taste in musical equipment.
