POWER / TWEED SWITCH: Continued From hard rock to insane metal, the MARK I can be your essential ingredient to achieving any tone imaginable! Those players who want that British “crunch” tone can try replacing the output tubes with four European - style EL34 power tubes. Greatly enhanced, shredding top end and the grinding lows so important to a great metal sound result from this tube change. And yet all the fluid, spongy feel remains intact for those

AC RECEPTACLE: This grounded outlet provides A.C. power for effects and other powered devices that require 117 volts. It is active whenever the amplifier’s A.C. power cord is plugged into the wall and is not affected by the POWER / TWEED switch located on the Front Panel.
FUSE: This is the A.C. line fuse for your Boogie. Should the fuse ever blow, be sure to replace it with the same rating in a

|
| arcing you will see it! Flip the STANDBY switch to standby immediately and replace the faulty power |

|
| tube (s) and the fuse if necessary. If you see nothing abnormal as you lift the STANDBY switch, it is |
| FUSE | possible that a power tube shorted temporarily and blew the Fuse. If this is the case it may work | |

| shooting tradition and save the replaced set as spares. Always carry along a few extra fuses and |
|
|
| tubes, they could be worth their weight in gold when needed. |

GROUND: This three position switch reverses the ground of your Boogie. It is often helpful in reducing annoying buzz and hum which originate in the A.C. power wiring outside the amplifier. We recommend leaving the switch in it’s center ( OFF ) position, unless position A or B definitely helps cure noise problems. In the center OFF position, your
FX LEVELBoogie cannot be the source of annoying microphone “ground shocks”.
