POWER SWITCH
Pressing the Power Switch to the ON position activates the Workingman’s 10 electronics as indicated by the LED above the
switch.
REAR PANEL FEATURES
TO TUNER
The To Tuner send jack allows the user to connect their instrument tuner to the Workingman’s 10 without having to unplug and
go back and forth from amp to tuner to amp. This feature is isolated from the rest of the circuitry and no other controls other
than your instrument have an effect on it. Being on an isolated sidechain also avoids loading down of the instrument, which can
cause a loss in dynamic range.
To use this feature, plug in a shielded patch cord from this jack to the INPUT of your tuning device. Turn the amp on and you’re
ready to go. If you don’t want to monitor your sound while tuning, turn down the Volume control or position the selector switch
on the back panel to the “headphones only” (middle) position.
EFFECTS LOOP
The Effects Loop is located POST EQ in the signal path. The level appearing at the Send jack is controlled by the Volume con-
trol on the front panel. If you are getting too hot a signal to the input of your effect, reduce the level of the Volume control. By
using the Volume and Effects Blend controls, optimum performance should be easily obtainable with any effects device.
The Effects Loop is designed as a “sidechain” (parallel) function similar to those found on mixing consoles. Use of the Effects Loop
should greatly reduce noise generated by effects devices (as compared to in-line effects loops). Additional features of this type of
loop can be found below under “Receive Jack.”
SEND JACK
Run a shielded patch cable from the Send jack to the input of your effects device. This jack may be used as an additional line
level output, in which case its level is determined by the setting of the Volume control.
RECEIVE JACK
Run a shielded patch cable from the output of your effects device to the Receive jack.
One unique feature of the Receive jack is the ability to practice along with pre-recorded music. Insert a sound source into the
Receive jack (make sure it is a mono source). Use the Effects Blend control to mix the level of the recorded music with your
instrument’s level. The combined signal will be heard through the internal speakers or your headphones. The send jack is not
used.
NOTE: Inserting a plug into the Receive jack activates the Effects Blend control by receiving a “command” through the ground creat-
ed. Therefore, only a mono (2-conductor) phone plug should be used. If you have a stereo (3-conductor) plug only, tie the ring and the
sleeve (ground) together.
If you are not getting any “effect” through the speakers, check the position of the Effects Blend control.
EXTENSION SPEAKER JACK
Use an unshielded 2-conductor cable (NOT A GUITAR CORD!) to connect an additional speaker cabinet. Use a high quality,
heavy gauge cable of at least 18 gauge (the lower the gauge, the heavier the cable). The impedance of the speaker should be
8 ohms or greater. If you wish to connect two additional cabinets be sure their combined impedance is not less than 8 ohms
(equivalent to two 16 ohm speaker cabinets in parallel).
RECOMMENDED SPEAKER CABS FROM SWR ARE: Workingman’s 1X10T, Workingman’s 1X15T, Workingman’s
2X10T, Workingman’s 4X10T.
