ee™ IIIIIIII
Congratulations! Your new SWR®California Blonde™ II
delivers the famous SWR®tone, clarity, and true full-range
response that has made SWR®the choice of professionals
for over twenty years. We sincerely thank you for choosing
SWR®, and remain committed to helping you Amplify Your
Future™.
Read through this Owner’s Manual before using your
amplifier not only to ensure your safety, but to realize the
full potential of the SWR®California Blonde™ II! Please
verify that the following items were included with your
amplifier: AC Cable, SWR®Catalog.
A. INSTRUMENT INPUT - Connect your (mono)
acoustic instrument here using a shielded instrument
cable. This input automatically “senses” either
magnetic or piezo pickup and accepts an unbalanced
signal (most guitars) or balanced signal
, according to the position of the LOW Z
BALANCED switch {B}.
B. LOW Z BALANCED - Press in to configure the input
circuit for low-impedance, balanced-output guitars
(such as the Taylor Expression System™). A balanced
connection offers superior dynamic range and noise
immunity and requires a TRS connection.
UNBALANCED (normal) LOW Z BALANCED
C. STEREO INPUT - Connect your (stereo) acoustic
instrument here using a stereo , shielded
instrument cable. This unique input offers
independent control of two pickups (a piezo pickup
and soundhole microphone, for example). You can
either mix the two channels for “mono” output or feed
one channel to an auxiliary amplifier for true stereo
output, see LINE OUT (CH 1) {W}.
The STEREO INPUT jack routes the signal:
Tip to Channel 1, Ring to Channel 2 and
Sleeve to ground.
NOTE: The MIC IN and AUX IN inputs are disabled
when a plug is inserted into STEREO INPUT.
D. AUX IN - Input for a second instrument or unbalanced
microphone; disabled when using the STEREO
INPUT {C}.
E. BALANCED MIC IN - True balanced XLR input, with
PHANTOM POWER SUPPLIED for a microphone;
disabled when using the STEREO INPUT {C}.
F. TUNER OUT - Plug your tuner in here to enable inline
tuning. Use MUTE {G} to disable audio output while
tuning.
G. MUTE - Disables all audio output except the TUNER
OUT {F} jack; useful when tuning up and during
instrument changes. The LED indicates when
MUTE is on.

H. GAIN - Adjusts the preamp signal level. Use GAIN to
balance the volume levels between the two channels
while maintaining the optimal signal–to–noise ratio as
indicated by the CLIP LED:
CLIP LED - Indicates when the preamp, tone circuits,
or output buffer are overdriven (clipping) and causing
signal distortion. The best GAIN setting for minimum
distortion is indicated when CLIP barely flashes at
peak channel input levels (maximum signal strength).
This clipping is not harmful to your amplifier, therefore,
reduce GAIN for unwanted distortion. Check the CLIP
LEDs after adjusting tone or Reverb controls, as they
contribute to the GAIN level.
GAIN also controls the level of all rear panel output
jacks, including EFFECTS SEND {Y} and can be used
to optimize external equipment connections such as
an effects device that is being overdriven (you may
need to adjust other levels to compensate for GAIN
changes). NOTE: If you still hear distortion even at low
GAIN settings (CLIP LED not flashing), check your
guitar battery.
I. PUSH PHASE - Reverses the input/output phase of
each channel which may reduce “regenerative”
feedback occurring at a particular distance from the
amplifier. If an instrument or microphone feedback,
reverse the phase of that channel or change your
position/distance from the amplifier.
J. AURAL ENHANCER - Featured on just about every
SWR®amplifier since the company’s inception in
1984, it is a trademark part of the “SWR Sound”
people have come to know and love. It was developed
to bring out the fundamental notes of the guitar,
enhance the high-end transients, and reduce certain
frequencies that “mask” the fundamentals. The
ultimate effect is a more transparent sound that opens
up the sibilance characteristics of all instruments
without being harsh.
How the AURAL ENHANCER works: Think of it as a
variable tone control that changes frequency range
AND level according to where you set the AURAL
ENHANCER control:
As you rotate the control clockwise from the “MIN”
position, you are elevating low, mid, and high
frequency levels in ranges that are different, yet
complementary to the BASS, MID and TREBLE tone
controls. The “2 o’clock” position—a favorite for many
users—brings out both low end fundamentals and
crisp highs while at the same time, adds a little lower
midrange helping you to cut through the band. Then,
as you rotate further clockwise, selected mids will
drop off—specifically, a group of frequencies centered
around 200Hz. While apparent, these curves are
gentle, as opposed to the extreme effects you can
create with the basic tone controls.
Your ears are the best judge when it comes to settings
that affect the tone of your instrument. Theories are
meaningless if the sound doesn’t satisfy! So, play a
chord, a repeated lick, or a harmonic, and turn the
AURAL ENHANCER control to various points on the
knob to hear it for yourself.
K. BASS - Adjusts the low-frequency response of each
channel. Centered at 110Hz, this range provides
fullness as well as the punch to your sound. The BASS
control has no affect at “0.”
L. MID RANGE - Adjusts middle-frequency response of
each channel. Centered at 800Hz, this range creates a
distinctive edge in your sound which is critical for
most instruments. The best setting will depend on the
situation and setting—a MID RANGE setting that
sounds harsh when alone may sound just right in a
crowded room or on a recording. MID RANGE has no
affect at “0.”
M. TREBLE - Adjusts high-frequency response of each
channel. Centered at 3.2kHz, this range adds the
bright sparkle to your sound and can bring a dull
instrument to life. Because high-frequencies are
“directional” by nature, it is important to listen from
different angles to find the best TREBLE setting and
the optimum placement for your amplifier. TREBLE
has no affect at “0.”
N. EFX BLEND - Controls the level of your effects loop,
or more precisely, the ratio of external effects loop
(wet) signal, to internal amplifier (dry) signal for each
channel. Used in conjunction with the rear panel
Effects Loop jacks, EFX BLEND is enabled when a
1/4" phone plug is inserted into EFFECTS
RETURN {S}.
O. REVERB - Adjusts the level of Reverb for both
channels.
P.
REVERB DEFEAT - Disables REVERB for each
channel:
REVERB ON REVERB OFF (DEFEATED)
Q. MASTER VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of
of the amplifier after all other controls are set.
R. POWER SWITCH - Switches power on-off to the
amplifier as indicated by the LED.

S. IEC POWER CORD SOCKET - Connect the included
power supply cord to a properly wired, grounded AC
electrical outlet in accordance with the voltage and
frequency ratings specified on the rear panel of your
amplifier.
T. FUSE - Protects the amplifier from electrical faults.
Replace a blown fuse ONLY with a fuse of the
type/rating specified on the rear panel of your
amplifier to protect your amplifier and maintain
warranty coverage.
U. COMBO CABINET OUTPUT - DO NOT unplug this
speaker connection. Your amplifier will be damaged if
powered on while disconnected. Intended only for
qualified service technicians during chassis removal.
V. REVERB FOOTSWITCH - Connect a standard latch-
type footswitch to enable remote on-off activation of
Reverb Defeat. (Reverb is defeated when the
footswitch is in the “closed” position.) Reverb Defeat
can be activated from either the front panel button or
the footswitch, but it can only be deactivated by the
same switch that activated it.
W. LINE OUT (CH 1) - Provides unbalanced Channel 1
preamp output for an auxiliary amplifier or sound
equipment. Channel 1 signal is disconnected from the
internal power amp when a plug is inserted into this
jack. This signal includes onboard tone shaping, the
effects loop signal, but not Reverb. Output level is
controlled by GAIN {H}.
California Blonde II Stereo Operation: When using the
STEREO INPUT {C}, connect the LINE OUT (CH 1)
jack to an external powered speaker (such as the
SWR®Blonde on Blonde™) or the power amp input of
an auxiliary amplifier. Connect a stereo effects unit
using both Effects Loops (including both EFFECTS
BLEND controls) on the California Blonde II to create
a fully ambient stereo field.
X. LINE OUT (CH 1+2) - Provides an unbalanced output
summed from both channel preamps for an auxiliary
amplifier or sound equipment. The power amp is NOT
disconnected when a plug is inserted into this jack.
This signal includes onboard tone shaping, the effects
loop signal, AND Reverb. Output level is controlled by
GAIN {H}.
Y. EFFECTS LOOPS (CH 1 and CH 2) - Jacks for
connecting your external effects units to each
channel. The SEND level is controlled by GAIN {H}.
The RETURN signal can be blended in any ratio with
the “dry” preamp signal using EFX BLEND {N}.
Use only shielded instrument cables with
standard 1/4" mono phone plugs with these jacks.
Use a stereo–to–mono adapter if your source has a
stereo plug. Connect EFFECTS SEND to your effects
device input, then connect the effects device output
to EFFECTS RETURN. NOTE: Set the wet/dry control
on external effects units to the fully WET position to
prevent phasing problems. Set the input level on
external effects as close to 0dB as possible.
The Effects Loop circuit is on a “side chain” of the
main circuit (as in studio recording consoles) to
provide the full sound of your instrument AND the
diversity of your effects units. Located after the gain
stages in the preamp signal path, this circuit also
reduces any noise generated by your effects units.

Z. XLR OUTPUTS - Studio quality, true electronically
balanced outputs that provide the ability to send
Channel 1 and 2 separately or together for custom
mixing. All 3 XLR outputs include onboard tone
shaping and the effects loop signal, BUT only the
CH 1 + 2 output includes Reverb. Output level is
controlled by GAIN {H}, pin wiring is “American
Standard”: 1=Ground, 2=(+), 3=(–).
GROUND / LIFT - Disconnects the ground
connection (pin-1) from all 3 XLR outputs, which may
reduce hum noise due a ground loop (non-standard
XLR wiring somewhere in the signal path). Normally
leave this switch out.
GROUNDED (normal) GROUND LIFTED
Lifting the ground connection will not solve hum noise
due to bad cables, poor connections, miswired A/C
outlets, nearby fluorescent lighting (especially with
single-coil pickups) or a cell phone close to your
instrument.
AA. TWEETER LEVEL CONTROL -
Controls the volume of the highfrequency tweeter. Normally,
start by setting this control to the
“12 o’clock” position, then adjust
as desired. Some instruments
such as violins, cellos and
upright basses may sound best
with the tweeter off (LEVEL CONTROL fully counterclockwise). The front panel TREBLE knob controls the
frequency range of the tweeter and can be used as a
“high-end pad.”
BB.EXTENSION SPEAKER OUTPUTS - The California
Blonde II amplifier features both Speakon®and
1/4" phone speaker output jacks
to provide flexibility in making
your extension speaker
connections. Use the Speakon
®
jack whenever possible to take
advantage of its superior power transfer efficiency and
locking connector. Both jacks are full range and wired
in parallel.
• Connect speakers with a total impedance load of 8-
ohms minimum to prevent damage to your
equipment (one 8-ohm speaker or two 16-ohm
speakers are acceptable).
• ONLY connect speakers to these outputs.
• ALWAYS switch the amplifier OFF before connecting
or disconnecting speakers.
• ONLY use unshielded speaker cable of 18 gauge or
heavier (such as 16 or 14 gauge) for speaker
connections. Shielded instrument cable WILL NOT
work and may damage your equipment.
