Make all necessary connections including pre-amp, effects, speakers and instrument before you flip the STANDBY switch to its ON position. AC power is turned on via the POWER switch and indicated by the pilot lamp. Before switching on the power, place the STANDBY switch into its Standby position and allow at least 30 seconds of warm-up time before switching the STANDBY switch to the ON position.

ENCE POWER	STANDBY PRE	This start up procedure helps extend tube life by preventing a high voltage turn-on surge. (How-
		ever, all of our amplifiers are tested to withstand this extra stress, just in case this procedure is

neglected by the user.) But ignoring this procedure everytime the amplifier is used will shorten the tubes toneful life.

Never remove any of the power cords terminals. All three terminals of the A.C. power cord must be connected and always check that the power receptacle has the proper voltage present. Also, make sure that the power cord is inserted all the way in when connecting to a power receptacle.

Perfect for set breaks...this toggle switch also serves an even more important purpose. In the standby position the tubes are at idle so that during power up they may have a chance to warm up before being put to use.

Before the power is switched on, make sure the STANDBY switch is in the standby position.

And as mention above, wait at least 30 seconds before changing to the ON position.

MODERN: This jack is the trigger port for the auto-tracking MODERN feature. This jack can receive a trigger pulse from the corresponding jack on the MESA Rectifier Recording Preamp or Triaxis Programmable Preamp. This smart power amp auto- modifies the amount of negative feedback in the power section when the MODERN mode in Channel 2 of the Recto Preamp is selected or switched to via the Footswitch. The Front Panel LED indicates when the feature is active and negative feedback has been

reduced.
