SAMPLE SETTING:
Here’s a quick setting that will give you a quick tour of the basic sound of the Modes in the Electra Dyne.
HELPFUL HINTS:
When unpacking your 1. Electra Dyne be sure to remove the plastic webbing from the power tubes before powering up the ampli-
fier.
Cut the cable tie that holds the AC Power Cord to the Rear Tube Cover and connect it to a Grounded AC wall socket.2.
Connect the Stereo ¼” Footswitch Cable to the Front Panel ¼” jack labeled FOOTSWITCH using the supplied Stereo Cable.3.
Set the amplifier (and at least one speaker cabinet) on the floor you will be standing (or sitting on) while playing to complete the 4.
coupling circle that occurs. This will make the amplifier sound better, as well as feel better to play, because the sympathetic loop
created by the transmission from your hands to the guitar to the amp to your guitar to your hands remains unbroken.
Remember that when you are setting up the controls for Mode Switching with the Footswitch, using the controls in their middle 5.
to upper middle ranges (11:00 – 2:00) will provide the best Tone and volume levels between the Modes. This region helps the
compromise between sounds remain as small as possible.
The controls are built with ganged (stacked element) pots, which ensures the Modes are true to their classic circuits. This also 6.
allows for custom tapers of the controls - which are optimized for both the Tone of the particular Mode – and for the footswitch-
able compatibility with the other Modes. May we suggest that you dial by ear and don’t stick firmly to your experience with other
amplifiers
Some of the controls used in the CLEAN Mode are fitted with pots that have a very slow taper to aid in footswitchability between 7.
Modes. This is so that when you’re using higher VOLUME settings (2:00 -3:00) in VINTAGE HI for lead or crunch rhythm work,
and then footswitch back to CLEAN, you will have substantial headroom for clean chording. In CLEAN, the VOLUME and BASS
controls in particular utilize this scheme and come on more gradually. Keep this in mind when dialing up sounds in CLEAN and
don’t be afraid to set these controls slightly higher (approx. 1/3) to achieve the results you are used to with other amplifiers.
Use the Rear Panel CLEAN LEVEL TRIM Control to decrease the volume (loudness) of the CLEAN Mode in relation to the 8.
VINTAGE LO and HI Modes if you find that is too loud for the (lower) volumes you are playing at in smaller venues or at home.
This is not an independent MASTER – thus the “TRIM” designation - and can not increase the level of the CLEAN Mode above
that set on the Front Panel MASTER Control.
