)REMOTE SWITCH
A 1/4" connector is provided for connection of the footswitch. The footswitch cable should be connected before the amp is powered up. See the FOOTSWITCH section of this manual for explanation of footswitch operation.
0)EFFECTS LEVEL SWITCH
Selects the effects loop operating level: -10 dBV (0.3V RMS) when “Down” and -1.4 dBV (850 mV) when “Up.”
1)EFFECTS SEND
Output for supplying signals to external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.
2)EFFECTS RETURN
Input for returning signals from external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.
3)PREAMP OUT
The preamp out can be used to route the amplified signal from the preamp to a mixing console, tape recorder, etc. Connect the preamp output to line-level inputs of other equipment using a high-quality shielded cable. This patch does not affect operation of the amplifier.
4)POWER AMP IN
Used to connect line-level signals to the Supreme XL’s power amplifier section. Connect the power amp input to line-level output of other equipment using high-quality shielded cable. This patch disconnects the Supreme XL preamp section from the power amp section.
5)DAMPING
This three-position switch allows for adjustment of the damping factor of the power amplifier. Damping is the ability of an amplifier to control speaker cone motion after the signal disappears. A higher damping factor (TIGHT) reduces cone vibration more quickly than a lower damping factor (LOOSE). If the Damping switch is changed, the volume level of the amp will also change and may require readjustment of the Master Volume (3).
7
(26)POWER
This three-position switch selects the power output level of the power amplifier. This switch works like the T. Dynamics® control found on other Peavey amplifiers (visit www.peavey.com for more info)which provides for a more pronounced tube power compression simulation at lower settings.
(27)SPEAKER OUTPUTS
These parallel 1/4" mono (TS) jacks are provided for the connection of speaker enclosure(s). Minimum speaker impedance is 8 Ohms. Although you can daisy-chain enclosures‚ it is preferable to use both 1/4" jacks thereby maintaining proper gain structure as well as ensuring optimum performance.
(28)GROUND POLARITY SWITCH
This three-position rocker switch should normally be placed in the center (0) position. If hum or noise is noticed coming from the speaker enclosure(s), the switch may be placed in the “+” or “-” position to minimize hum and noise. If changing the polarity does not alleviate the problem, consult your authorized Peavey dealer, the Peavey factory, or a qualified service technician.
(29)IEC MAINS CONNECTOR
This is a standard IEC power connector. An AC mains cord having the appropriate AC plug and ratings for the intended operating voltage is included in the carton. The mains cord should be connected to the amplifier before connecting to a suitable AC outlet.
U.S. DOMESTIC AC MAINS CORD
The mains cord supplied with the unit is a heavy-duty, three-conductor type with a conventional 120 VAC plug with ground pin. If the outlet used does not have a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used, and the third wire should be grounded properly.
Caution: Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety.

This rockin’ 2-button stereo footswitch is included with every Supreme™ XL. Only what’s called for—change channels and engage or defeat the effects loop. This Select button allows for easy‚ hands-free selection of either the Lead or Rhythm channel. The 14-foot cable gives you plenty of room to maneuver. Connect the 1/4" jack to the Remote Switch (19) and you’re ready to stomp. Please make sure to connect this footswitch with the Power Off.
(31)Effects
This one is easy. Stomp on the Effects button and engage or disengage your connected effects devices.
