RETURN

This control determines the dry/wet blend of the FX Loop signal in relation to the unaffected signal. Set to 0% you will experience only the dry signal (no effect) and at a setting of 100% the entire signal will be wet (total effect.)

For the best results...Set the mix of your effect to 100% wet. Then dial in the amount of effect that you wish to hear, starting at 0% with the FX Loop Mix Control. The drier (closer to 0%) signal you use, the better your tone should be. This parallel type FX Loop allows the amplifier to retain its purity with the smallest amount of degredation due to possible effect impedance mismatching.

MUTESPKR ON

SILENT RECORDING

This rocker switch which is located down under the chassis and selects between the live "Speaker On" setting and the silent "Speaker Mute" setting. This is a perfect solution for all- nighters! This switch mutes all of the signal at the power section driver stage, removing the need for a speaker load IN THIS POSITION ONLY!

NOTE When this switch is set to the "ON" position, a speaker load must be maintained by either a load resistor of some type or a speaker itself. Failure to comply with this instruction could result in major damage to the amplifier. Leave your speaker connected.

SPEAKERS:

SPEAKERS

8 OHM

4 OHM

Sensitivity to speaker mismatching in regards to ohmage differences is low, hence no damage to the amplifier will occur. However, very low ohmage loads will cause the power tubes to wear faster. The SUBWAY ROCKET is equipped with a single 10 inch 8 Ohm speaker, but as you can see, other speaker configurations may be used. When using two 8 Ohm speakers, connect each of them to the 4 Ohm speaker jacks that are provided, this will equal a 4 Ohm load which is the proper impedance required when using this particular speaker configuration.
