switch to match your cabinet.

and stable load for your treasured vintage amps at this low impedance range. Even so, we do

recommend that your power tubes are in good condition when using this device.

12. FOOTSWITCH JACK – Controls front panel Select function (tip) and FX loop bypass (ring) using

any standard 2-function TRS latching footswitch or remote switch function provided by your pre-

amp, modeler or effects switching device. Shielded or non-shielded cable is suitable for this appli-

cation (Footswitch is sold separately).

13. GROUND LIFT – This switch separates the internal circuit ground from chassis and power ground

in order to eliminate possible ground loops between the Power Station and the load amplier

connected to the AMP IN jack. Select the position which yields quietest operation. With a properly

wired AC outlet and factory supplied AC cord, this switch may not produce a noticeable difference.

14. MAINS FUSE – Protects the amplier from electrical faults. Replace only with type and rating spe-

cied on the rear panel of your amplier.

15. AC MAINS INPUT – Connect to a grounded outlet in accordance with the voltage and frequency

specied on the rear panel of your amplier.

USE ONLY THE FACTORY SUPPLIED CORDSET OR A UL APPROVED EQUIVALENT TYPE

USING SILENT MODE

Silent Mode allows you to use the Power Station as a silent adjustable reactive load for quiet direct recor-

ding or when sending a live amp signal to front of house with no speaker cab connected. In this mode it is

not necessary to power up the Power Station. You don’t even need to plug in the power cord. The Voicing

switches, Low Pass Filter switch, FX Send (along with the FX Level switch), and the Balanced and Unba-

lanced Line Outputs all operate with no AC power applied.

TUBE FUNCTION AND LOCATION

Power and phase inverter tubes are mounted horizontally near the back of the unit. The power tubes are

factory biased for optimum performance. No provision for internal or external biasing is provided. To insure

that the Power Station will remain within safe temperature operating limits, the bias must not be modied

or tampered with. Doing so will immediately void the warranty. Tube types are factory selected for superior

performance, consistent tone quality and reliability. Power tubes are factory tested and matched. For best

performance, replace only with factory recommended tubes.
