This switch allows the user to select one of the five standard settings in conjunction with the footswitch.

Speaker Outputs (14)

These 1/4" mono jacks provide two connections for speaker cabinets.

Impedance Selector (15)

This switch must be set properly depending upon the speaker cabinet used. If two 16 ohm cabinets are being used the switch should be set to 8 ohm.

Ground (16)

This three-position switch is used when you have a hum problem. Try using this switch to eliminate hum problems that are related to the AC mains or AC line grounding.

Line Cord (120 V units only) (17)

For your safety, we have incorporated a three-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding facilities. It is not advisable to remove the ground pin under any circumstances. If it is necessary to use the Pentawithout proper grounding facilities, suitable grounding adapters should be used. Greatly reduced shock hazard exists when the unit is operated with the proper grounded receptacles.

Fuse (18)

A 6A/250 amp fuse is located within the cap of the fuseholder. It must be replaced with the same type and value in order to avoid damage to the equipment and to prevent voiding the warranty. If the amp repeatedly blows fuses, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.

WARNING: The fuse should only be replaced when the power cord has been disconnected from its power source.
