Channel 1
Channel 1 is the lead/overdrive channel and is selected in one of two ways, via the Channel Select switch on the control panel, or via the Channel Select button on the supplied footswitch pedal. The yellow LED, located next to the Channel 1 Volume control, illuminates when Channel 1 is active.
Note: Plugging in the footswitch deactivates the panel-mounted Channel and Boost controls.
Gain & Volume Controls 2
Channel 1 uses a Gain control in conjunction with a Volume control to control the amount of tube-based overdrive and volume.The Gain control is used to adjust the amount of overdrive, while the Volume control allows you to set the actual loudness of the amplifier.

Boost Switch 3 4 21
A boost circuit is provided to help achieve ‘a-bit-more’overdrive for leads.The boost can be selected via the front panel switch or through the supplied footswitch pedal. A Red LED illuminates to
indicate when the boost is active.
Channel 1 Tone Controls 6
The Treble, Bass, and Middle tone controls are to help you shape your sound.They are post-gain and pre-volume.These are active only when Channel 1 is selected.
Scoop Switch 16
Provides deep midrange cut and bass boost to get that deep “chunk” sound.
Channel 2
Channel 2 can be used as the clean channel and thus has no Gain control. In other respects the layout is the same as that of Channel 1, with independent Volume and Treble, Bass, and Middle tone controls. When channel 2 is active the green LED located next to the Channel 2 volume control is illuminated.
Brightness Switch 10
Channel 2 includes a Brightness switch that activates a circuit to provide additional treble boost to help make your tone sparkle.
Expander Switch 17
Adds deep bottom and sparkling highs to Channel 2.
Master Controls
Master Volume 12
Controls the overall level of both channels.
Reverb Control 13
The Master Control section also includes a rotary Reverb control that adjusts the overall reverb level for both channels.TheYCV80/YCV80Q is equipped with a long-style Accutronics® dual-spring reverb for authentic vintage reverb.
Standby Switch & Indicator 14 15
This switch controls the high voltage power being supplied to the tubes. This mode effectively keeps the tubes warmed up when the amp is not in use. The large, jewel indicator on the front panel glows Red when the amp is fully powered-up and changes to Yellow when the high voltage circuit has been turned off. Putting the amp into Standby mode (i.e. during set breaks) shuts off the amplifier output stage and effectively increases tube life by reducing wear on the tubes.
EFX / LINE Send Jack, Return Jack & Trim Pots 23
The Send and Return jacks of the YCV80/YCV80Q allow convenient use of an external effect unit. Simply connect a ¼-inch phone cable to the Send jack of the YCV80 and then connect this cable to the Input of your effects unit. To send the processed signal back to the YCV80, connect the output of the effects unit to the Rtn jack of the YCV80/YCV80Q. The Trim pots enable fine adustments to the signal being sent to and returning from the external effects.
The ¼-inch TRS Send jack is used as part of an effects loop, in conjunction with the Rtn jack. The -10dBu output is ideal for most guitar effects pedals and professional signal processors.You can also use this output to slave the YCV80/YCV80Q with another guitar amplifier by plugging into the Rtn jack of the destination amplifier that will be the slave.
The ¼-inch TRS Return jack is used as your return jack for your effects loop. It accepts an input signal that is passed to the power amplifier, so it can be used as a power amp in. The Master Control section regulates the signal, so Reverb can be added as well as Presence.
3
The Loop-Thru jack is a “send” and “return” all in one jack. As a patch point it puts the connected effects in series with the preamp and power amp sections of the YCV80/80Q. To connect an effect here, use a “Y Insert” cable configured as follows; ¼-inch stereo (TRS) male to two ¼-inch mono male jacks. Our model PC-6ISPH can be used for this purpose.
Footswitch Jack 21
Connecting a footswitch to the ¼-inch TRS Footswitch jack deactivates the control panel mounted Channel Select and Boost switches. These functions are then activated exclusively by the pedal. The included footswitch features dual-latching switches, each with a separate LED indicator.
The switching is accomplished with internal relays so there is no audiable noise flowing through the footswitch cable. Footswitch-induced noise is never an issue. The YCV80 is compatible with most aftermarket latching dual-footswitch pedals.
External Speaker Jack/s 22
The chassis mounted ¼-inch jacks allow convenient connection of a 4 ohm external speaker cabinet. If you disconnect the internal 12 inch Celestion® speakers, you can connect up to two 4 ohm external cabinets.
Phones/Line Out & XLR Balanced Line Out Jacks 24 25
For maximum versatility, The YCV80/YCV80Q has both ¼-inch and XLR Line Outs.The ¼-inch output also doubles as a headphone jack.This Phones/Line Out jack can be used with any stereo headphone.The signal sent form these outputs are post-preamp and pre-master. Note that the output signal is affected by all tone controls, including reverb, but not the Master Volume. For practicing silently, don’t forget to disengage the speaker outputs by depressing the Speaker Defeat button.
Headphone Jack & Speaker Defeat 25 26
The headphone jack can be used with any stereo headphones. The headphone signal is post-preamp and pre-master which means the signal is affected by all controls (including reverb) but not the Master Volume. For practicing silently, don't forget to disengage the speaker outputs by depressing the Speaker Defeat button.
Replacement Tube Selection & Bias
This amplifier features Yorkville’s auto-balancing / auto-matching tube biasing technology. As a result, when the time comes to replace the tubes in your Yorkville amplifier, there is no need to pay a premium for a matched set – nor does the bias need to be adjusted when you use a different brand. We make no claims as to which brands of tubes might sound best, but with auto-balancing / auto-matching, you are free to experiment without any need for concern that the amplifier or tubes will be distressed. Please note that auto-balancing / auto matching cannot fully compensate for different types of tubes - 6L6/5881s versus 6CA7/ EL34s, for example.
Please note that although auto-balancing / auto matching allows you the freedom to select unmatched tubes from a variety of manufacturers, it may not be able to fully compensate for the use of a non-equivalent model or part number of tube – 6L6/5881s versus 6CA7/EL34s, for example. Use of non-equivalent tubes may result in unpredictable performance.
