((11)) IINNPPUUTT ((HHIIGGHH GGAAIINN))

This 1/4" mono jack is designed to accommodate most any guitar output signal. Input signal gain
can be adjusted by the PRE GAIN (7) control (Lead channel only).

((22)) IINNPPUUTT ((LLOOWW GGAAIINN))

This 1/4" mono jack is designed to accommodate instruments with extremely high outputs that
might overdrive the high gain input. It is -6 dB from the high gain input. If both inputs are used
simultaneously, both will be low gain.

((33)) VVOOLLUUMMEE

This control sets the overall level of the Clean channel.

((44)) MMOODDEERRNN // VVIINNTTAAGGEE SSWWIITTCCHH

This switch selects the voicing of the Clean channel. The MODERN position reflects the tones of
current amplifier design. The VINTAGE position changes the EQ and adds brightness to simulate
classic amp design.

((55)) CCLLEEAANN CCHHAANNNNEELL EEQQ

These passive controls allow adjustment of LOW, MID, and HIGH frequencies. The tonal changes
produced by these controls will vary depending on the position of the MODERN / VINTAGE
SWITCH (4). The “0” position is maximum cut; the “10” position is maximum boost.

((66)) AACCTTIIVVEE CCHHAANNNNEELL LLEEDDss

These indicators signify the active channel. Green indicates Clean channel activation; red
indicates Lead channel activation.

((77)) PPRREE GGAAIINN

This control adjusts the input gain of the Lead channel. Increasing input gain will increase preamp
distortion and sustain.

((88)) MMOODDEERRNN // VVIINNTTAAGGEE // HHIIGGHH GGAAIINN SSWWIITTCCHH

This switch selects both the gain and voicing of the Lead channel. The MODERN position
increases gain and notches (cuts) mid frequencies to establish a “hard rock/metal” tone. The
VINTAGE position replicates overdriven classic tube amps, while the HIGH GAIN setting increases
gain and changes the EQ to allow leads/solos to “cut through.”

((99)) LLEEAADD CCHHAANNNNEELL EEQQ

These passive controls allow adjustment of LOW, MID, and HIGH frequencies. The “0” position is
maximum cut; the “10” position is maximum boost.

EFX amps are built with factory settings loaded into the presets. To return to the factory settings,
press and hold both the EFX ADJUST (12) and DELAY (14) controls while turning the amp on.

((1133)) RREEVVEERRBB

This control adjusts the overall reverb level. The surrounding LED ring indicates level.

((1144)) DDEELLAAYY

This control adjusts delay type, time, and volume. Three types of delay are available: SLAP
(1 repeat), ECHO (3-4 repeats), or INFINITE (5-6 repeats). The LEDs in each section of the control
indicate which type is active and volume level. Pressing the control twice sets the delay time to
the interval between presses.

((1155)) PPOOWWEERR SSWWIITTCCHH

This switch applies power to the unit in the “ON” position. One of the ACTIVE CHANNEL LEDs (6)
will illuminate to indicate that the unit is on. Pressing the lower portion of the switch turns the
unit off.

((1199)) EEFFFFEECCTTSS RREETTUURRNN

Input for returning signals from external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.

((2200)) PPRREEAAMMPP OOUUTT

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 high
quality shielded cable. This patch does not affect operation of the amplifier.

((2211)) PPOOWWEERR AAMMPP IINN

Used to connect line-level signals to the power amplifier section. Connect the power amp input to
line-level output of other equipment using high quality shielded cable. This patch disconnects the
preamp section from the power amp section.

((2222)) DDAAMMPPIINNGG

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). This switch works much like the Resonance and Presence controls found on other
Peavey amps, if they were to be turned simultaneously. If the Damping switch is changed, the
volume level of the amp will also change and may require re-adjustment of the volume.

((2233)) PPOOWWEERR

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 which provides for a more
pronounced tube power compression simulation at lower settings.

These paralleled 1/4" mono (TS) jacks are provided for the connection of speaker enclosure(s).
Minimum speaker impedance is 4 Ohms. The CABINET IMPEDANCE switch (25) must be set to
match the load of the speaker cabinet(s).

((2255)) CCAABBIINNEETT IIMMPPEEDDAANNCCEE

This three-position switch allows for appropriate selection of speaker cabinet impedance. If two
enclosures of equal impedance are used, the switch should be set to half the individual value. For
example, two 16 Ohm enclosures necessitate an 8 Ohm setting, while two 8 Ohm enclosures
would require a 4 Ohm setting. Minimum speaker impedance is 4 Ohms.

((2266)) GGRROOUUNNDD PPOOLLAARRIITTYY SSWWIITTCCHH

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.

((2277)) IIEECC MMAAIINNSS CCOONNNNEECCTTOORR

This is a standard IEC power connector. An AC mains cord having the appropriate AC plug and

(7) PRE GANACIA

Este control ajusta la ganancia de entrada del canal Líder. El incrementar la ganancia de
entrada incrementará la distorsión del preamplificador y su duración (sustain).

(8) INTERRUPTOR MODERNO/VINTAGE/GANACIA ALTA

Este interruptor selecciona tanto la ganancia como el sonido del canal Líder. La posición
MODERN incrementa la ganancia y corta las frecuencias medias para establecer un tono de
“rock pesado o metal”. La posición VINTAGE imita la saturación de los amplificadores
