Operator’s Manual
The 830 all-tube power amp not only delivers top-notch tube
tone and 2x50 watts (model 830.30, 2x30 watts) of power, it also
incorporates a number of technical advantages and practical
features.
The two A and B Presence controls enable you to activate two
different treble presets at the power amp. The Gain switch provides optimum signal level adjustment at both inputs. Separate
Standby switches provide a single p.a.side operation option.
The integrated ECS (Emergency Circuit System) protects the amp
from damage due to power tube defects/failure and ensures the
amp does not shut down. It continues to function on both
channels; the affected channel operates at a reduced power
output level.
This amp is defined by the effort and materials that went into it:
intelligent design features, superior craftsmanship, impeccable
finishing and quality components. However keep in mind, that a
few precautions will radically extend tube life (see handling and
care guidness).The entire -Team would like to thank you for
your faith in our product; we hope you derive a great deal of joy
and satisfaction from your -TUBE POWERAMP 830.
PLEASE NOTE: Read the Operator's Manual carefully and
thoroughly, especially the Handling and Care section as well as
the guidelines in bold-face type. Avoid operating errors and
potential damage to the amp by heeding the guidelines and
cautionary remarks in this manual. The footnotes also cover a few
convenient pointers and interesting tips on several functions.
These are listed on side 3 of the manual.
Please, first read this manual carefully!
Front Panel
The Presence A/B switching function can be executed via a Looper
or other MIDI devices that feature a freely-programmable switching
input. If the ground and the circuit are identical in the MIDI device
then you may encounter ground hum.
A practical application of the PRESENCE switching feature in
conjunction with a dual channel preamp (clean/lead): PRESENCE A
controls set between the 1 and 4 o'clock positions; PRESENCE B
controls set between the 8 and 11 o'clock positions. Activate
PRESENCE A in the clean mode and PRESENCE B for the lead mode.
You can also access two different tonal variations in each of the
operating modes (i.e. clean & lead) using the PRESENCE function as
described in this example.
This amp is designed for one speaker cabinet per channel. If you
decide to connect additional speakers, ensure you keep the overall
impedance in mind! For instance, if you want to connect two 8Z
systems per side, you must first connect them in series and then to
the amp's 16Z outputs. The -Speaker Cabinet Extension offers
a number of options, right up to four cabinets per channel.
If you are using a stereo speaker for both channels, ensure it actually
operates in the stereo mode, otherwise you may damage the power
amp. A convincing stereo image is achieved via a quality stereo
effects processor and a separate speaker for each channel.
The 830.30 model is perfectly suited for studio-recording or club
gigs. Additionally it offers the advantage to reach tube poweramp
distortion at a moderate volume with authentic sounds.
