  • Output Seimbang (XLR): Provides a balanced, post-EQ and volume signal for direct connection to a mixing console or recording interface. Includes a Ground Lift switch to eliminate hum caused by ground loops.
  • Gelung FX (Hantar/Pulangan): Allows connection of external effects pedals or processors. The Send jack outputs the signal from the preamp, and the Return jack receives the processed signal back into the power amp section. The Send is valve-driven, and the Return is solid-state.
  • Suis Penghad: Located on the rear panel, this switch prevents the output stage from being overdriven when operating into a 4 Ohm load, helping to protect the amplifier and maintain clarity.

Penyelenggaraan

Pembersihan

Putuskan sambungan amplifier from the mains power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Ensure ventilation grilles are free from dust and debris.
