IN USE

Always connect OUTPUT A first. OUTPUT A can
be used independently, for example as a
transparent signal buffer. Using OUTPUT B only
may cause noise issues, so always use OUTPUT B
with OUTPUT A connected also.

Experiment with the position of the PHASE
SWITCH to achieve the optimum sound with
BOTH amps selected. Two amps which are out of
phase with each other will sound lifeless, so your
ears will be the best judge.

POWER

9V Battery Operation

The battery installed at the factory is for testing
purposes. If you notice a drop in performance,
replace the battery. To replace the battery,
unfasten the four screws on the base and secure
the new battery in the battery clip, making sure
to observe the battery’s polarity (+ / -).
Disconnect the input when not in use to prolong
battery life.

DC Adaptor

The Amp Detonator can be powered by 9 or 12V
DC. Use a regulated AC-DC adaptor fitted with a
centre negative plug (2.1mm).
