TUBE 50/100 - MANUAL

TIP:

If you choose not to connect a signal processor/effects device to the FX loop, you may instead then connect another instrument or tape deck. For instance you could connect another guitar, keybo- ards, drum machine, tape player, etc. for rehearsals or practice ses- sions. When you use the FX RETURN as a second input channel, the FX-MIX knob is used to balance the respective volumes of your guitar and the other connected signal source. Another option is open to you if you do not connect a signal processor: you can use the loop to activate an additional MASTER volume. Proceed as fol- lows:

•Activate the FX loop.

•Dial in a separate MASTER VOLUME setting via the FX MIX pot (to the left towards DRY = volume down, to the right towards WET = volume up).

•You can switch back and forth between the two MASTER VOLU- MES via the FX footswitch. If you have installed the MIDI option, you can also activate the alternate MASTER VOLUME via a MIDI command.

3.5 USING MIDI

Once the MSM-1 MIDI Module has been installed, you can exe- cute the majority of the switching operations via MIDI. Simultaneous switching of both the TUBE 50 / TUBE 100 and the multi-effects processor is the utmost in convenience - with a wealth of all-tube sounds.

MSM-1 socket and indicator notch.

Insert the MSM-1 in the module chamber and fasten it to the chassis using the four screws that you removed from the cover plate. Ensure the electronic components and the module inscriptions on the rear panel are facing right- side up.

Installing the MSM-1 MIDI Module:

NOTE: The MSM-1 Module must be installed by a qualified servi- ce technician. The following instructions apply to repair person- nel only.

•Unplug the mains cord and speaker cables from the amplifier.

•Remove the MIDI Module port cover plate from the rear panel of the chassis.

•Remove the amp chassis from the wooden cabinet. For the combo version, after unplugging the speaker cable, remove the four retainer screws at the top of the amp. For the head version, remove the front panel cover to access the chassis retainer scr- ews. Make sure that you do not damage the reverb cable when you pull the chassis out.

•Insert the included MSM-1 ribbon-cable connector plug in the MSM-1's socket so that the color-coded wire faces the notch on the socket. Note that the two ribbon-cable connector plugs face away from the module in different directions. Select the plug that allows for the shortest signal path. Ensure you do not bend the pins when inserting the plug.

Position of the sockets.

•Plug the other ribbon-cable connector into the socket on the cir- cuit board. Note the markings on the connector and ensure they face the grooved portion of the jack when you plug the connec- tors in.

•Ensure the connector fits snugly and the connector markings match the jack's grooved portion.

•Replace and fasten the chassis cover and insert all cable connections.

•Once you have switched the amp on, all MIDI functions should be accessible immediately. Check out all the switching functions of your amp.

NOTE: If you have connected the MSM-1 Module's polarity in reverse, then the amp's secondary fuse may trip. Replace the fuse if this happens. Generally, this should not damage the MSM- 1.

Please consult the MSM-1 Operator's Manual for detailed instruc- tions on MIDI programming and switching.
