GA-15

INTRODUCTION

The Gibson “Goldtone” GA-15, GA-15RV & GA-30RVS are no nonsense, compact, purist
valve guitar amplifiers. They have the minimum controls necessary to produce a good
range of sounds, from clean to overdriven.
However, with the addition of such features as a switchable gain boost, stereo effects
loop, pseudo-stereo reverb, and a stereo power stage, the “Goldtone” GA-30RVS model
takes the range as far as it could possibly go.
The circuit topology has been based on traditional guitar amplifier designs, with new
ideas incorporated where beneficial.
The preamp and power stage sections are 100% valve. The valves used are:

“Goldtone” GA-15

Two ECC83/12AX7’s and two EL84/6BQ5’s run in Class A.

“Goldtone” GA-15RV

Two ECC83/12AX7’s and two EL84/6BQ5’s run in Class A.

“Goldtone” GA-30RVS

Four ECC83/12AX7’s and four EL84/6BQ5’s run in Class A in stereo (two EL84’s per side).

Input (“Goldtone” GA-15 only)

A single jack socket is provided for connection to your instrument. This is a high
impedance input which allows for perfect matching to both passive and active guitars.

Inputs - Hi & Lo/Link (“Goldtone” GA-15RV & GA30RVS)

Two jack sockets are provided for connection to your instrument.
The HI input is a high impedance, high sensitivity input. This can be used with both
passive and active guitars and, depending on the level of output from the guitar and the
VOLUME setting, allows the amplifier to be driven hard into overdrive, if desired.
The LO/LINK socket can be used in two ways. Firstly as a lower impedance, low
sensitivity input, for use with high output guitars when the user wishes to keep the
overdrive under control. Alternatively this socket can be used as a LINK to chain together
two amplifiers, simply plug your guitar into the HI socket, take an output from the
LO/LINK socket and plug this into the HI input of the next amplifier in the chain.

Bright switch (All Models)

The BRIGHT switch adds more high frequencies when selected. It works in the traditional
way, therefore as the volume control is increased the effect becomes less apparent.

Volume (“Goldtone” GA-15 & GA-15RV)

This sets the overall volume level of the amplifier as well as the tone and the amount of
overdrive. From low to about halfway, depending on the output level of the guitar used,
the sound should remain reasonably clean. Increasing the control further will
progressively increase the level of distortion in the sound, obviously being a valve amp it
will respond to the player’s dynamics and use of the instruments volume.

Volume / Pull Gain (“Goldtone” GA-30RVS only)

This is a push/pull potentiometer. Pushed in the control acts like a normal volume control
on a typical non-master volume amplifier, therefore it sets the overall volume level of the
amplifier and has a huge effect on the tone and the amount of overdrive. From low to
about halfway, depending on the output level of the guitar and which input socket is
used, the sound should remain reasonably clean. Increasing the control further will
progressively increase the level of power amp overdrive in the sound, obviously being a
valve amp it will respond to the player’s dynamics and use of the instrument’s volume.
Pulling the control out activates the additional valve preamp stage therefore effectively
turning the control from a VOLUME into a GAIN control. This extra gain stage makes it
possible to produce a fuller overdrive sound especially when turned up as this blends
preamp distortion with power amp distortion. With the control pulled out the extra gain
stage is also footswitchable. This enables the user to footswitch between clean and dirty

sounds.

Setting the VOLUME at about 12 o’clock gives lovely warm clean sounds which can then
be switched to a nice, not too saturated overdriven tone.
For total and instant control over a range of clean and overdriven tones we recommend
turning the VOLUME control all the way up. Without the extra gain stage switched in the
player can then back off the volume on their guitar for clean sounds, turn up fully for
some crunchy, responsive power amp overdrive, and then kick in the extra gain stage for
thick lead tones with lots of sustain.

Tone (All Models)

Unlike other single tone controls on other amplifiers, which act merely as a treble roll off,
this control works in a different way. It is a dual gang potentiometer which controls two
functions simultaneously. In the fully anti-clockwise position the midrange is dominant in
the sound, turning the control clockwise decreases the mids while at the same time
increasing the higher frequencies.
Start with it in the 12 o’clock position and try different settings with or without the
BRIGHT switch to find the settings that you like. Bear in mind that as the VOLUME is
turned up the BRIGHT switch has less effect.

Reverb (“Goldtone” GA-15RV only)

This single control is for adjusting the amount of reverb effect in the sound. The effect is
produced by a three spring reverb tray inside the cabinet.

Reverb (“Goldtone” GA-30RVS only)

This single control is for adjusting the amount of reverb effect in the sound. The effect is
produced by a three spring reverb tray inside the cabinet. However, due to a simple but
extremely effective modification to the signal between the reverb tray and the stereo
power stages, what you actually hear is a huge pseudo-stereo reverb that seems to fill the
whole room. It is even more noticeable when using extension cabinets.

Footswitch Socket (“Goldtone” GA-15RV only)

This socket is for connecting to a latching footswitch and allows the user to turn the
reverb effect on or off during performance.

Footswitch Sockets (“Goldtone” GA-30RVS only)

These sockets are for connection to latching footswitches. The first one is dual function
and operates the extra gain stage (with VOLUME pulled out) and reverb. The second
turns the effects loop on or off if used.

5

Effects Loop (“Goldtone” GA-30RVS only)

This has sockets for SEND, LEFT/MONO RETURN and RIGHT RETURN as well as a
switch for SERIES or PARALLEL configuration.
The SEND is for connection to the input of effects units and can drive floor type battery
powered effects pedals or 19” rack type studio effects units.
The RETURN sockets are for connection to the outputs of effects units. If a mono effect
unit is used then use the LEFT/MONO RETURN.
The SERIES/PARALLEL switch alters the configuration of the effects loop.
In SERIES mode the whole signal comes out of the amp, into the effects unit and then
back into the amp, whereas in PARALLEL mode the effected signal is mixed in with the
original dry signal, thus retaining tonal purity of the dry signal.
The choice of which mode to use will depend on what kind of effects unit is used and
what overall effect is desired. Generally if time delay effects are used, such as delay
(echo), chorus, flanging, phasing, etc., then the PARALLEL setting is usually preferred. If
volume or EQ related effects are used, such as overdrive/distortion, compression, graphic
equalisation, wah-wah or volume pedals, or if a multi-effects unit is used with a
combination of time delay and volume related effects, then it is usually best to set the
switch to SERIES. There are no rules, it is best to experiment and see what you prefer. If
PARALLEL configuration is used then, if possible, it is recommended that dry/direct signal
from the effects unit is turned off.
The effects loop is not activated unless a jack plug is inserted into the LEFT/MONO
RETURN socket. The loop is then footswitchable if a suitable latching footswich is
connected to the appropriate footswitch socket.
It is also possible to use the “Goldtone” GA-30RVS purely as a stand alone mono/stereo
power amp.
To do this set the loop to SERIES configuration, this will effectively eliminate the preamp
and plug signal source(s) into the RETURN socket(s).

External speaker output (“Goldtone” GA-15 & GA-15RV)

This is provided so that the user can connect the unit to an external 16Ω speaker cabinet,

such as a 4 x 12, for a different sound. This is useful for both live and studio use and can
radically change the sound of the amplifier. Try it at a high volume into a 4 x 12 and you
will not believe you are playing a 15 watt amp!

When the jack is inserted into this socket the internal speaker is disconnected. Always
ensure that the amplifier is correctly loaded when in use.

External speaker outputs (“Goldtone” GA-30RVS only)

These have been provided so that the user can connect them to external 16Ω speaker

cabinets, such as 4 x 12’s, for different sounds. This is useful for both live and studio use
and will radically change the sound and volume of the amplifier.
As the “Goldtone” GA-30RVS has two power stages, two external speaker outputs are

provided, as is a 8Ω or 16Ω impedance selector switch which sets the output impedance

for both sockets. (N.B. This does not change the impedance of the internal speaker
connection)
When a jack is inserted into each socket the corresponding internal speaker is
disconnected, either or both can be used at once.
However, always ensure that the amplifier is correctly loaded when in use and never
plug both power sections into the same speaker cabinet unless it is a stereo cabinet and
you are sure that the speakers are separately addressed.
Probably the most popular way to use these outputs is to sit the unit on top of a stereo

4 x 12 cabinet, set the switch on the “Goldtone” GA-30RVS to 8Ω, the cabinet to 8Ω

STEREO and connect the two speaker outputs to the two cabinet inputs for a big stereo
sound.
Alternatively if you really want to create an impression set the “Goldtone” GA-30RVS to

16Ω and get TWO 4 x 12’s, set to 16Ω MONO, to plug into. With the cabinets spaced

apart a reasonable distance the sound is huge! Especially considering that the cabs are
being driven by two fifteen watt amps. Adding a stereo chorus or delay to the effects loop
at this stage is quite simply more than a poor boy can take!

Pentode/Triode Switch (“Goldtone” GA15RV only)

This allows the user to set the power stage to either PENTODE or TRIODE operation.
PENTODE position is the full power mode and has generally a more powerful sound with
a spread of both even and odd harmonics, when pushed into distortion.
TRIODE mode produces around half as much power. Therefore has less headroom and
produces power amp distortion earlier. It also has less high frequency content, therefore it
is not as bright as pentode mode, and produces mainly even order harmonics.
The choice as to which mode to use will depend on several factors including playing
situation, instrument used and, most importantly, personal taste.

Power switch - Off/Standby/On (All Models)

As the name implies, this switches the amplifier from OFF to STANDBY mode,where only
the valve heaters are on, to ON for actual use. This should be used correctly every time
the unit is used to prevent problems with valves and to increase their life.
Before mains is applied to the unit, check that it is the correct voltage and make sure the
POWER switch is in the OFF position. Connect power lead to mains outlet then switch to
STANDBY and wait about a minute before switching to ON. This ensures that the valves
have time to warm up before large voltages are applied to the plates.

7

During short breaks the amplifier can be switched to standby and will therefore be ready
to play when next needed.After switching off it is recommended, as with all valve
amplifiers, that it does not receive any sudden physical shocks while the valves are still
hot, i.e through moving the unit. If possible try to give the amplifier a few minutes to cool
down before transporting it.

IEC Socket/Mains Fuse (All Models)

The IEC socket is for connection to universally used IEC mains leads to connect to
appropriate domestic mains supply.
In the event of having to replace the mains fuse always use the same rating and type as
marked on the unit’s rear panel. Using one of higher rating will invalidate the guarantee.
If after replacement the mains fuse should blow a second time, immediately refer the unit
to an approved service engineer for checking.

Orientation of Valves (“Goldtone” GA-15 & GA-15RV)

Looking at the “Goldtone” GA-15RV from the rear with the rear panel removed you will
see four valves, the two on the left (V1 and V2) should be ECC83/12AX7’s and the two
on the right (V3 and V4) should be EL84/6BQ5’s. For improved performance and
reliability the EL84/6BQ5’s should be a matching pair.
If need should arise to replace any of the valves we recommend the following types:-

V1 and V2 Sovtek 12AX7WB or 12AX7WA
V3 and V4 Sovtek EL84M

Orientation Of Valves (“Goldtone” GA-30 RVS only)

Looking at the “Goldtone” GA-30RVS from the rear with the rear panel removed you will
see eight valves, the four on the left (V1, V2, V3 & V4) should be ECC83/12AX7’s while
the four on the right (V5, V6, V7 & V8) should be EL84/6BQ5’s.

V1 is used for the input gain stage and 2nd gain stage
V2 is used for the 3rd gain stage and cathode follower that drives

the tone network
V3 is used for the left side phase splitter
V4 is used for the right side phase splitter
V5/V6 are left side power stage valves
V7/V8 are right side power stage valves

If the need should arise to replace any of the valves we recommend the following types:-

V1, V2, V3 & V4 Sovtek 12AX7WB or 12AX7WA
V5, V6, V7 & V8 Sovtek EL84M

For improved performance and reliability V5 & V6 and V7 & V8 should be matched

pairs respectively.

niiden tulee säteillä sähkömagneettista kenttää tai tämän tulee vaikuttaa niihin. Kaiuttimia ei saisi
käyttää 2 metriä lähempänä sellaisia laitteita joihin sähkömagneettinen kenttä vaikuttaa
häiritsevästi.
Myöskään kitaroita, joissa on sähkömagneettiset mikrofonit ei saisi käyttää 2 metriä lähempänä
mitään sähkömagneettista lähdettä, kuten kaiutinta.
Kaiuttimien päästöjen voimakkuudet ovat riippuvaisia teholähteen taajuudesta.
Voimakkuustasot mitattiin suoraan 30 dBuV:n lähteestä.
Nämä tasot laskevat turvalliselle tasolle oltaessa 1, 27 metrin etäisyydellä teholähteestä.

INSTRUÇÕES DE SEGURANÇA

Aviso

Para protecção contÌnua contra o risco de fogo, substitua os fusíveis só com fusíveis do mesmo
tipo e taxação.
Para reduzir o risco de fogo ou de choque elèctrico, não exponha este equipamaento a chuva ou
humidade.
No caso de suspeita de mau funcionamento, consulte sempre um mecânico de serviço
devidamente qualificado.
Este aparelho deve ser ligado à terra. Os fios neste sector são coloridos em conformidade com
o seguinte código:-

Verde e Amarelo - Terra Azul - Neutro Castanho - Vivo

No caso das cores dos fios no cabo deste aparelho não corresponderem com as marcações em
cor que identificam os terminais na ficha proceda como se segue:­O fio Verde e Amarelo deve ser ligado ao terminal na ficha marcado com a letra E ou pelo
simbolo à terra ou com a cor verde ou Verde e Amarela.
O fio Azul deve ser ligado ao terminal marcado com a letra N ou com a cor Preta.
O fio castanho deve ser ligado ao terminal marcado com a letra L ou com a cor Vermelha.
Se for usada uma ficha de 13 amp (BS1363) deve ser montado um fusível de 13 amp, se for
usada qualquer outro tipo de ficha tem de ser montado um fusível de 15 amp ou na ficha, ou no
adaptador ou no quadro de distribuição.

Aviso CEM

É inerente ao design de alto-falantes e ao design de reprodutores de guitarras que devem emitir
ou ser afectados por campos electromagnéticos. As coberturas dos alto-falantas não devem ser
usadas a menos de 2 metros do equipamento que pode ser afectado pela interferíncia
electromagnética.
Igualmente, as guitarras equipadas com reprodutores electromagnéticos não devem ser usadas
a menos de 2 metros da fonte de emissões electromagnéticas tais como alto-falantes.
As emissões dos alto-falantes dependem da característica de frequíncia da unidade accionadora.
Os níveis foram medidos directamente de accionadores de 30 dBuV.
Estes níveis são reduzidos para um nível seguro a uma distância de 1,27m dos accionadores.

ISTRUZIONI PER LA SICUREZZA

Avvertenza

Per assicurarsi di essere sempre protetti contro il rischio di incendi, sostituire i fusibili soltanto
con altri dello stesso tipo e potenza.
Non esporre l'attrezzatura alla pioggia o umidità per ridurre il rischio di incendi o shock elettrici.
Se si sospetta una malfunzione, consultare sempre un tecnico esperto in questo settore.
L'attrezzatura deve essere messa a terra. I fili sono stati colorati secondo il codice seguente:

Giallo e verde - Terra Blu - Neutro Marrone - Sotto tensione

Dato che i colori dei fili nel cavo elettrico del prodotto possono non corrispondere ai segni
colorati che identificano i terminali della spina, procedere come segue:–

Il filo di color giallo e verde deve essere collegato al terminale nella spina marcata con la lettera E
o con il simbolo terra, oppure di colore verde o verde e giallo.
Il filo di colore blu deve essere collegato al terminale che mostra la lettera N oppure di color
nero.
Il filo di color marrone deve essere collegato al terminale che mostra la lettera L oppure di color
rosso.
Con una una spina di 13 amp (BS1363), si deve usare un fusibile di 13 amp. Con qualsiasi altro
tipo di spina inserire un fusibile di 15 amp nella spina, nell'adattatore o nel quadro di
distribuzione.

Avvertenza EMC (per la compatibilità elettromagnetica)

Nel design di altoparlanti o di fonorivelatori di una chitarra, è inerente il fatto che raccoglieranno
o saranno influenzati da campi elettromagnetici. Le custodie per altoparlanti non dovrebbero
essere poste lontano meno di 2 metri dall'attrezzatura che potrebbe risentire dell'interferenza
elettromagnetica.
Allo stesso modo, non usare le chitarre con fonorivelatori elettromagnetici ad una lontananza
inferiore a 2 metri da qualsiasi sorgente di emissioni elettromagnetiche come altoparlanti.
Le emissioni da altoparlanti dipendono dalla caratteristica di frequenza dell'unità di comando.
I livelli sono stati misurati direttamente da unità di comando di 30 dBuV; il livello sicuro è ad una
distanza di 1,27 metri dalle unità.

SIKKERHEDSINSTRUKTIONER

Advarsel

For vedvarende beskyttelse imod risikoen for brand, må sikringerne kun udskiftes med sikringer
af samme type og størrelse.
For at reducere risikoen for brand og elektrisk chok må dette udstyr ikke udsættes for regn eller
fugt.
Hvis man har mistanke om, at der er en fejl i udstyret, skal man altid henvende sig til en
faguddannet servicetekniker.
Dette apparat skal have jordforbindelse. Lederne i el–ledningen er farvet efter følgende kode:

Grøn og gul - Jord Blå - Nulleder Brun - Spændingsførende

Fordi ledernes farver i dette apparats el–ledning evt. ikke svarer til de farvede afmærkninger, der
identificerer klemmerne i stikket, skal man gå frem på følgende måde:
Den leder, som er farvet grøn/gul, skal forbindes med klemmen i stikket, der er afmærket med
bogstavet E eller med jordsymbolet eller som er grøn eller grøn/gul.
Den blå ledning skal forbindes med den klemme, der er afmærket med bogstavet N eller som er
sort.
Den brune ledning skal forbindes med den klemme, der er afmærket med bogstavet L eller som
er rød.
Hvis der anvendes et 13A (BS1363) stik, skal der monteres en 13A sikring. Hvis der anvendes en
anden type stik, skal der sættes en 15A sikring i stikket eller snydeproppen eller på
strømfordelingstavlen.

EMC advarsel

Højttalere og guitar–pickups er konstrueret således, at de udsender eller påvirkes af
elektromagnetiske felter. Højttalerkabinetter må ikke placeres mindre end 2 meter fra udstyr, der
sandsynligvis vil blive påvirket af elektromagnetiske forstyrrelser.
Ligeledes bør guitarer, som er udstyret med elektromagnetiske pickups, ikke anvendes mindre
end 2 meter væk fra en kilde til elektromagnetiske emissioner som f.eks. højttalere.
Emissioner fra højttalere afhænger af drivaggregatets frekvens. Niveauer måles direkte fra
drivaggregater på 30 dBuV.
Disse niveauer reduceres til et sikkert niveau i en afstand af 1,27 m fra drivaggregaterne.
