The Mission

Monarch Amplification is founded on passion, focused toward the future of live sound
production. My mission is to bring forth technologically advanced solutions, each specifically
engineered to perfectly satisfy a set of requirements for the modern touring musician. I do not believe in
false claims, hocus pocus marketing, or fudged specifications. Each product shipped from Monarch
Amplification has my personal guarantee of quality and is conceived, engineered, troubleshot,
manufactured, and supported in the United States with as many American-made parts as possible. The
Monarch brand brings together pure and classic, hand-wired, single-ended, class A tone, and then
bootstraps it to a super high efficiency, class D power generation engine. Players gain features they have
never accessed before, such as post-tube-power effects looping, volume-decoupled 6SL7 and 6V6 tube
distortion, and post-power tube transformer balanced XLR DI. Each amplifier is a quality focused,
feature-packed, 1500 watt, sonic euphoria machine in a 15 pound package. You should expect the best
when you go with Monarch, because what you get is The Monarch of all Amplification Rigs.

I sincerely thank you for purchasing your Mod6G amplifier. I am sure you will find many years
of excitement and enjoyment playing through it. I stand behind my products proudly, and am happy to
answer any questions that you might have, directly. Feel free to contact me via the contact page on
www.monarchamp.com, even if you just want to make a comment.

Sincerely,

Kevin J Wehrle
President/Engineer

Front Panel

Input: This guitar signal input impedance is ~ 1 Megohms. Input and interstage wiring utilizes

shielded conductor to minimize radio frequency interference and noise.

Gain: Adjusting the output level on your guitar or utilizing a volume pedal between your guitar and

the input jack of your Mod6G controls the amount of signal that enters the first 6SL7 preamp
gain stage. The Gain control on your Mod6G controls the amount of signal that enters the
second 6SL7 preamp gain stage as well as the amount that enters the 6V6 power gain stage.
This control is used to alter signal to produce tones from clean to heavily distorted.

Low: Adjusting the level on this control effects the low frequency signal level on your Mod6G

amplifier. This is a passive, shelf-type equalization circuit that dynamically effects the output
level of frequencies between 0hz and 200hz. This control interacts with the Mid and High
controls to alter the effected low frequency range of the shelf.

Mid: Adjusting the level on this control effects the middle frequency signal level on your Mod6G

amplifier. This is a passive, subtractive circuit centered around the 600-800hz range. This
control interacts with the Low and High controls to alter the effected middle frequency range.
With Low and High controls set to minimum, the Mid control functions as an overall signal
level control governing how much signal the 6V6 power tube receives.

High: Adjusting the level on this control effects the high frequency signal level on your Mod6G

amplifier. This is a passive, shelf-type equalization circuit that dynamically effects the output
level of frequencies between 1Khz and 20Khz. This control interacts with the Low and Mid
controls to alter the effected high frequency range of the shelf.

FX ON/FX OFF: This switch enables or disables the post-power effects loop on your Mod6G

amplifier. When in "on" position, the effects loop is active. When in "off" position, the effects
loop circuit is completely bypassed.

FX Level: Adjusting the level on this knob effects the amount of signal passed on through the effects

send jack and to any effects units connected through the effects loop on your Mod6G amplifier.

FX Send: This jack is where line level effects pedals or studio effects rack units should be connected to

your Mod6G amplifier. Connect their inputs here.

FX Return: This jack is where line level effects pedals or studio effects rack units should be connected

to your Mod6G amplifier. Connect their outputs here.
