We at Custom Audio Electronics would like to take this opportunity to thank you for purchasing the OD-100 100W Guitar Amplifier. We think you will agree that it’s simple control layout offers a wide variety of extremely useful sounds. Since this amplifier is so new, a comprehensive owners guide is not available at this time. Therefore, we have put together this quick guide as an overview of the amp’s basic functions, and could quite possibly be all you need to get the most out of your amp. We will spare you the overblown adjectives often used to describe an amplifier’s tonality, and encourage you to just plug in and play with a little help from this guide.

Start by plugging AC power into the amp after first making sure the amp is set to the proper line voltage. Also, make sure the amp is on “Standby” before applying AC power. Allow about 30 seconds after the amp is turned on for the tube heaters to warm up before taking the amp off “Standby” (Standback!) Proper use of the standby switch will insure longer tube life. And always switch to “Standby” before turning the amp off. We will assume you are using some type of 4x12 speaker cabinet, hopefully loaded with Vintage 30 Celestion speakers, although virtually any decent cabinet will provide an acceptable sound. Be sure to use the proper speaker jack for your cabinet’s impedance. For example, a 16ohm cabinet will use the 16ohm speaker output on your amp. Let’s start with Channel 1. Make sure you are in Channel 1 by checking to see if the Channel Select switch on the far right is in the “out” position. LED’s under the Gain 1 and Level 1 controls will be lit.
