(AMP LVL): this input can also be used as a power amp input using an external preamp (AMP LVL). SEND: signal to be processed. RETURN: signal input from the effect. PRE OUT: line preamplified signal output for an external amplifier. * When passing from using the external switcher to the footswitch and viceversa, switch the head off first.
GENERAL INFORMATION
PREAMP TUBES
The preamp tubes are used to preamplifier the signal. They usually last the entire life of the amplifier. The possible problems of these kind of tubes are: microphonics and noise.
Microphonics
The microphonics is the ability of a tube to reproduce external vibrations further the signal. This phenomenon can be much more evident in high gain stage like the distortion channels. Lightly tapping on the glass side of the preamp tubes, while the head is on, you' ll hear a stroke through the speaker, this is normal don' t worry. But if you hear hi frequencies (ringing or squealing) and in some case a distorted sound, it means that the tube is microphonics. You will note that the first tube is more subject to reproduce this stroke more than the others, because it' s at the begin of the preamplification chain.
Noise
Tube has an own intrinsic floor noise that comes from its work and construction. During tube life this noise may increase creating a sort of a ringing or squealing. In these two cases, you have to find the defective tube and repleace it with a new one. The preamp tube doesn't need to be selected, (normally this control has been made by the constructor), but be sure to replace with good quality tubes. We suggest thay you use tubes of same brand and model.
POWER TUBES
Power tubes are the last amplification stage before the out trasformer and speaker out, and they can get exhausted. Normally a power tube working in A/B class lasts 800 - 1000 hours. It depends also on the volume used. In an amplifier with same power, in A class, the tube lasts 600 - 800 hours. In this class work tubes are more stressed.
MODULATION EFFECTS
The main characteristic of the modulation effect (see example) is to add and/or lay other wave forms to the signal. This kind of effect should be used in the loop effect of your amp, that is between the Premaplifier and the Power amp.

SERIAL LOOP
In a Serial Loop all the output signal coming from the Preamp passes throught the effect. In this case on your effect unit it is necessary to adjust the balance between the DIRECT (DRY) and the EFFECT( WET).

PARALLEL LOOP
In a Parallel Loop only a part of the direct sound passes throught the loop effect, without going out from the Send. This part of the signal will be mixed with the signal that comes from the Return. In this connection the quality of the effect is not so important as it is in the Serial Loop connection, because the Direct will be kept by the loop (see drawing).

To obtain a good sound we suggest that you set on zero ''0'' the DIRECT (DRY) on the effect.
