amplifier to an external speaker. The internal
speaker is disconnected when this jack is used.
The impedance of the external speaker must be 4
ohms or greater.
SOLO CHANNEL: A high gain channel giving you
sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive.
WARNING: Do not attempt to use headphones in
the Speaker jack! Permanent hearing damage
could result!
2: GAIN: Use this control to adjust the amount of
distortion for the Solo channel.
3: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output
level of the Solo channel.

13: POWER CORD: The grounded power cord
should only be plugged into a grounded power out-
let that meets all applicable electrical codes and is
compatible with the voltage, power, and frequency
requirements stated on the rear panel. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.
CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel
designed to give you crystal clear sounds to medi-
um distortion.
5: VOL: Use this control to adjust the output level
of the Clean channel.
