Congratulations!
We would like to thank you for purchasing the T64RS Electric Guitar Amplifi er.
It has been specially designed and developed for the use with electric guitars.
Before using your new amplifi er, we advise to read the following pages carefully.
Taking care of your T64RS
Safety Warnings
We want you to be aware of certain safety aspects,
for reasons of product safety and liability. With all
due respect, please read the following before
operating your new Fame amplifi er.
• Do not use or store your amplifi er in or near
moist or wet areas.
• Make sure that voltage shown on the back of
the amplifi er is the correct voltage for the
location you are using it. The T64RS can never
be used at different voltages than shown.
• Opening the amplifi er housing must only be
done by authorized personnel. No user
serviceable parts inside.
• The power amp is confi gured to deliver
maximum tone at normal volume levels. We
advise you for your own good not to expose
yourself to very high volume levels for long
periods of time. It leads to hearing damage.
Transporting the T64RS
• The T64RS is a solid state instrument
amplifi er. The built-in circuits are sensitive to
hits, especially when hot. To avoid damaging
the unit, we recommend using care during
setup and tear down of the unit.
• Allow the amplifi er to adjust to the ambient
temperature before operating, 10 minutes
should be suffi cient in all cases. Especially the
change between a cold vehicle and, in most
cases, warm stages can cause condensing
fl uid inside the electrical circuit. This can lead
to circuit shorts.
• For continued road use, please protect the
amplifi er with a professional fl ight case. Only
transport in operating position. Do not trans-
port upside down or on its side.
Daily use
• Never be rough with knobs, connections
or other parts of the amplifi er.
• Be careful while pulling out cables. Pulling
plugs out too fast can cause damage.
• Disconnect all cables before transporting
the unit.
• Avoid physical shocks, such as hits or drops.
• You should never put any heavy items on top
of the T64RS.
Cleaning the T64RS
• Usually it is suffi cient to wipe down the
outside of the amplifi er with a slightly moist
cleaning rag.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaning chemicals.
• Sometimes a vacuum cleaner can be used to
remove dust and dirt from nooks and crevices.
• Avoid putting vinyl on top of the unit. It glues
and discolours the surface.
Electric enviroment
• This amplifi er contains electric circuits, which
can cause interference when operating near
Radio or TV units. If you notice any abnormal
noise, we recommend to put the amplifi er
away from such devices.
• Blown fuses can only be replaced with fuses
of equal values. The use of incorrect fuses is
prohibited and can cause severe injury or
damage of the amplifi er.
• Only use a grounded power cable in good
condition.

Setting up the T64RS
WARNING!
To avoid electrical shock or any other damage, make sure that the T64RS
and all other devices are switched off before you start connecting them to the
amplifi er!
Power Connections/Mains
Before connecting to a grounded power outlet, make
sure the power switches are in the off position (facing
down). The T64RS is set up for 230 V of line voltage.
Once the amplifi er is connected to power, you can
get started!
Connecting an electric guitar
The input jack on the left side of the frontpanel
receives your electric guitar signal by means of
a shielded guitar cord with 1/4” mono style plug.
Make sure the master volume of the amplifi er is set
to the lowest position to avoid disturbing noise while
connecting.
Speaker protection
The T64RS’s speaker cabinet contains four 8” speak-
ers. They can be damaged by heavy feedbacks of
the connected instruments. You should always keep a
suffi cient distance to the amplifi er to avoid such feed-
backs. This will extend the speaker’s and the power
amp´s life span.
Travelling Abroad
If travelling to countries outside the EU, always check
their local voltage before operating the T64RS.
Mismatched voltages can and most likely will destroy
your amplifi er. Should you encounter voltages and
frequencies other than those indicated, a transfor-
mer must be used between the power socket and the
T64RS. This transformer must be able to transform
the voltage and frequency to one of the indicated
settings.
Main Fuse
The main fuse is situated in a little drawer which is
part of the power input jack. This sliding fuse holder
also hides a spare fuse. For 230 V, the fuse must be a
0,63 AT slow blow. It is crucially important to use the
specifi ed fuse values only.
Maintenance
All checkups and repairs must be undertaken by
authorized service personnel. With the right treat-
ment, the electric circuit and the power amp will not
need any kind of maintenance at all.

Periphal Connections
Signal In Jack
The T64RS has a mono style input jack on the left
side of the front panel. To connect an electric guitar,
please use a 1/4” mono style cable.
CD
For the combined usage of a CD/MP3 player with
the T64RS, this jack will receive the signal of your
external audio device.
Headphones
For quiet practicing at home you can also use
optional headphones. For best performance and a
brilliant sound, we recommend our Fame DT 290
studio headphones. Please note that the overall
volume of the amplifi er will infl uence the master
volume of your headphones.
CONNECTIONS ON THE BACK
FX-Loop
On the back of your amplifi er you will fi nd both a
send and a return jack. These will be useful if you
want to loop external effects units between preamp
and power amp of the T64RS. The built-in fx-loop
is serial type. This means that the signal path of the
T64RS is interrupted, the signal is sent to the effects
unit, gets processed and then sent back to the return
of the power amp.
Line Out
Your T64RS needs to be connected to a PA-System?
You would like to record the sound directly into your
recording desk or audio interface?
The Line Out will do just that. All you need is a stand-
ard mono style 1/4” cable to connect the T64RS to
a channel strip of a mixing desk. Please note that
the volume set on the amplifi er will be the level that’s
running into the channel strip of your mixing desk.
You should set the volume to the lowest level possible
and increase it step-wise.
Footswitch
With an optional footswitch it is possible to control
the T64RS’s channel switching. To use this option, you
just need to connect the footswitch with the “Foot”
jack on the back of the amplifi er. We recommend our
heavy-rugged VM-26 model for best performance.
Speaker Out
This jack is used for the connection between your
amp and the speaker cabinet. The package contains
an appropriate speaker cable for this connection.
Mains
This jack is used to connect the T64RS to a grounded
power outlet.
Your guitar cord is an important part of your signal chain and it‘s quality and
construction type clearly affects the overall tone of your rig. Try and buy the
best quality cord you can or want to afford for maximum sound!

Preamp Section of the T64RS
Channel 1
The fi rst channel of the T64RS will produce a very clean and brilliant
sound with very rich harmonics and well-balanced bass and middle.
With a higher level of the gain control, the sound will change to a
slightly compressed overdrive.
Channel 2
The second channel allows you to create almost every sound from
Blues, Rock to Metal. Thanks to the built-in 12AX7 preamp tube, you
will get a direct and warm response. The gain control works very
sensitive and offers you a wide variety of sounds.
Reverb
The built-in spring reverb can be used to create a room sound. The
more you increase the level, the bigger the room will sound. But you
should also be careful not to overdrive the effect. This can make the
signal unclear and intransparent.
7
Controls and Switches
We suggest you start exploring the channels with all controls set to 12 o‘clock
and the master volume slightly cracked open.
CHANNEL 1
Gain
This knob controls the preamp level in Channel 1.
It works very effective, so you should be very careful
using it.
Volume
This controls the overall volume of Channel 1.
Bass & Treble
These controls are responsible for the overall sound
of the fi rst channel. Bass adjusts the lower frequencies
while Treble will decrease or increase the level of high
frequencies.
I & II
This switch changes between Channel 1 and
Channel 2.
CHANNEL 2
Gain
This knob controls the amount of distortion in
Channel 2. Turn it clockwise to increase the amount of
gain or counter-clockwise to decrease it.
Volume
Controls the overall volume in the second channel of
the T64RS.
Bass, Middle, Treble
These three knobs control the overall sound of
Channel 2. They do not affect each other.
REVERB
This controls the rate of reverb in the overall sound
of the amplifi er. It is recommended to adjust from the
lowest setting and slowly turn the knob to the desired
amount.
MAINS
This switches the T64RS on or off.

External Effects
We are convinced that the basic sound of the Fame T64RS
will suit the demands of most guitar players. Although, the
usage of external effects devices can provide a variety of
new and interesting sounds. These are divided into:
• Level-related effects are: Compressor, Limiter or
Noise Gate
• Time-based effects are: Delay/Echo, Chorus or
Flanger
• Volume-based effects are: Tremolo, Auto-Volume or
Pan
• Filtering-related effects are: Equalizer, Phaser,
Rotary or Vibe
While the last three effect groups can be inserted in the
fx loop of the T64RS, level-related units must always be
connected between instrument and amplifi er.
A lot of our customers gave us a positive feedback on
using a compressor in front of the T64RS.
How to choose the right device
High-quality effects like a vibrato or time-based units like
delays can round up the sound, when placed in the fx
loop of the amplifi er. But the fi nal sound is depending on
the choice of the specifi c unit.
A multieffects processor i.e. digitalizes the incoming
signal by using an AD-converter and inverts it after
adding several effects. Depending on the used model, the
sound can be infl uenced in a negative way.
Expensive units contain very capable converters, which
keep the signal in it’s original value and even improve the
sound quality.
Analogue units will not harm the signal’s quality, but they
are also limited and normally produce only one overall
sound.
