IMPORTANT

AMPLIFIER CONNECTION

In order to avoid damage, it is advisable to follow the below instructions. With

all system parts connected, turn on source equipment such as MP3 players,

CD players, effects processors etc, before turning on your guitar amplier.

Many products have large transient surges at turn on and off, which can cause

damage to your speakers. By turning on your guitar amplier last and making

sure it’s volume control is set to minimum, transients from other equipment

will not reach your loud speaker. Similarly when turning off your system please

remember to turn down the volume control on your guitar amplier and then

turn off its power before turning off other equipment.
