Congratulations on your purchase of the AG100D Series III amplifier. We’ve
included all of the great features a solo performer needs, such as three inde-
pendent channels with separate volume and EQ, MID sweep control, phantom
mic power and 5 band Graphic EQ. Then we added our dual 24 Bit Digital Effects
Processor. Additional features include, mid & HI Contour switches on chan-
nel 1, Bass and Mid Contour switches on channel 2.
Channels 1’s voicing is designed for standard electric or acoustic guitars while
channels 2 and 3 will also accommodate line level signals from keyboards, tape
decks, drum machines and a balanced microphone, making the AG100D well
suited for a “One-Man-Band” stage set-up.
We haven’t neglected the bass player with the bass tuned enclosure and ‘1
Titanium HF Driver, combined with 100 watts RMS of power—ideal for acoustic
or electric basses. You can play bass and guitar simultaneously without degrad-
ing the guitar signal. Just plug the bass into channel 2 and start thump’n!
