PREAMPLIFIER SECTION:

SETTINGS FOR MEASUREMENTS UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED:

Pad = out (Passive)

Bright = out (Normal)

Pre-Gain = 5 (12 o’clock)

Contour = 0 (fully counterclockwise)

Bass = 0 (12 o’clock)

Mid = 0 (12 o’clock)

Mid Shift = 0 (12 o’clock)

High = 0 (12 o’clock)

Master Volume = 10 (fully Clockwise)

Line Out Level = 10 (fully Clockwise)

INPUT SENSITIVITY (Level to achieve full power):

With Pad Out...

Nominal input: 100 mV RMS

Minimum input: 9 mV(pre gain and master fully CW)

Maximum input: 3.0 V(maximum signal at input before clipping occurs)

With Pad -10 dB in:

Nominal input: 315 mV RMS

Minimum input: 28 mV (pre gain and master fully CW)

Maximum input: 9 V (maximum signal at input before clipping occurs)

EQUALIZATION:

Bright boost: + 8 dB @ 5 kHz

Contour: Special frequency compensation

Bass: ± 15 dB @ 30 Hz, Shelving type Eq

Mid : ± 15 dB @ 200 @ 2 kHz (Mid shift control determines center frequency)

Mid Shift: 200 to 2 kHz

High: ±15 dB @ 8 kHz, Shelving type Eq

TUNER SEND:

Instrument level through a buffer

LINE OUT:

-∞ to -10 dB (for nominal input).

Level is dependent on level control setting and pre gain setting

EFFECTS LOOP:

Set for -10 dB (0.315 V RMS) with pre @ 5, Master @ 10 Controlled via footswitch, ground tip to defeat.

PREAMP OUTPUT:

1 V RMS nominal
