INTRODUCTION
The Heathkit Model TA-16 Guitar Amplifier is
especially designed for use with Harmony-by-
Heath and other high quality Electric Guitars to
give you all the features most wanted by modern
guitarists.
High-power, solid-state amplifier circuitry with
a pair of custom 12" speakers in a sturdy cabinet
provide you with the "big sound." Each of the two
amplifier channels has two inputs plus Volume,
Bass, and Treble controls. The special-effects
channel also features reverb and tremolo. Re-
verb intensity, and both the depth and rate of the
tremolo are adjustable. Foot switches provide
hands-free control of reverb and tremolo. A
line-reversing Off-On switch assures minimum
hum.
Accordians and other musical instruments with
electric pickups may also be played through the
Guitar Amplifier. Lead instruments are normal-
ly used with the special-effects channel with
reverb and tremolo; microphones and accompan-
iment instruments are used with the other chan-
nel.
For versatility and convenience, all controls
and inputs are located on the control panel at
the top-front of the Guitar Amplifier cabinet. The
black, leather-textured cabinet and black-
and-white patterned grille cloth are both durable
and attractive.
Refer to the "Kit Builders Guide" for complete
information on unpacking, parts identification,
tools, wiring, soldering, and step-by-step as-
sembly procedures.
