INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a Cornell Plexi Seven Amplifier
Your amplifier employs valve technology. It is hand built. Only top quality components are
used so that you can enjoy years of trouble-free use.
The Plexi Seven is an exciting new amplifier that sounds much bigger than it looks.
Please take time to read this manual, to ensure that you get the best from your
amplifier.
Valve Replacement
Valve life varies depending upon playing style and application. Power valves have a
much shorter life than pre-amp valves, which can last for years.
To maintain the optimum performance of your amplifier, the valves should only be
replaced with the same valve types.
Plexi Seven valves are:
V1 - 12AX7/ECC83; V2 - 12AX7/ECC83; V3 - EL84
Warning
When changing valves, ALWAYS unplug the amplifier, and remember that the VALVES
ARE HOT! Wait for valves to cool, or replace valves when the amplifier has not been
used for several hours.
DO NOT allow anything to obstruct or touch the output valve in the
back of the cabinet.
Remember it is very hot when in use.
We are always happy to assist in any way we can, so please do not hesitate to
contact us.
WARNING
To prevent damage, fire or shock hazard, do not expose this amplifier to rain or
moisture.
No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
This unit must be earthed. Use the correct mains cord.

CONTROLS
PRE-AMP
INPUT
Jack plug input connection for your electric guitar.
High impedance input connection for instruments.
VOLUME
Adjusts the gain of the pre-amp and is used to set the
overall volume of the amplifier.
The volume control also acts as a switch, when pulled the switch
defeats the tone circuit. This adds middle and gain.
PULL EQ CUT
This is a bypass for the tone controls (tone stack). The tone controls do not operate
and you will find a large increase in gain.
TREBLE
The treble control increases the high frequency response.
BASS
The bass control increases the low frequency response.
EDGE
The Edge control adds extra bite to the tone.
OUTPUT STAGE
OUTPUT SWITCH
This switch alters the output power: Position A=7 Watts,
position B=1 Watt, position C=1/4 Watt position D=1/8 Watt
Note that, unless the volume is adjusted above the power
selected, you will not notice any change in output level.
OUTPUT
The output jack socket is connected to an 8 Ohm internal
speaker.
MAINS INDICATOR
When illuminated, there is power to the amplifier.
MAINS FUSE
The fuse holder contains the mains fuse for the amplifier. The
mains fuse protects the amplifier from electrical faults.
HT FUSE (located on the speaker side of the chassis)
Protects the output valve.
Replace a failed fuse only with the same type and rating.
