Peavey Classic VT Series

2.10. PILOT LIGHT
The pilot light Indicates when the electrical supply is switched on and is actually delivering power to the
amplifier.
3. REAR PANEL _
The rear panel contains the necessary fusing and power (mains) switches, as weli as speaker outputs ans
a complete signal in/outjack panel. A small functlonai diagram has been printed on the rear panel to illustrate
the functions of the various jacks.
3.1. FUSE
The fuse is located within the cap ot the fuseholder and should be replaced with one of the proper type
and value If It should fall. It Is necessary that the proper type and value fuse be used to avoid damage to the
equipment and to prevent voiding the warranty. If your unit repeatedly blows fuses. It should be taken to a
quaNifed service center for repair.
3.2. POWER SWITCH
On domestic units, the power switch is of the three-position type with the center position being "OFF".
This switch has two "ON" positions, one of which Is used to ground the amplifier properly. One of the "ON"
positionswill yield the lowest amount of reiduai humor "popping" when the Instrument is touched and this Is
the position that should be used.
On export models, we utilize a simple on/off switch that does not have multiple "ON" positions since the
grounding (earthing) conditions vary with the different electrical systems of North America versus other
nations.
3.3. LINE CORD
For your safety, we have Incorporated a three-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding facilities. It is
not advisable to remove the ground pin under any circumstances. If It is necessary to use the amp without
proper grounding facilities, sultabiegrounding adaptors should be used. Much less noise and greatly reduced
shock hazard exists when the unit is operated with the proper grounded receptacles.
3.4. SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The speaker outputs utilize standard phone jacks and both 8-Ohm and 4-Ohm taps are provided off the
output transformer, enabling an extremely wide range of speaker systems to be used. Please be aware that
impedance mismatching has a definite effect on the overall performance of the unit.
3.5. REMOTE SWITCH SOCKET
The remote switch socket is the standard "DIN" type and serves as the chassis connection for the
supplied remote footswitch. Please r>ote that the "DIN" plug has an Indentation that must be mated with the
matched indentation in the footswitch receptacle on the rear panel. This keying action aliows the footswitch
to be connected only in the proper manner. If the plug Is forced or undue pressure is exerted on the shell or
pins, damage could result to the footswitch plug or the chassis mounted socket. As with any precision device,
reasonable care should be exercised when connecting and disconnecting the remote switch.
3.6. PREAMP OUT/POWER AMP IN
To allow "In fine" patching of various accessories, we have Included a unique system of preamp
out/power amp In jacks on the rear panei. The preamp out Is the straight preamp signai which isthesum of the
clear signal plus reverb- This output signal level Is approximately 2 Voits RMS and Is a relatively low (600
Ohms) output Impedance, The preamp output signal Is connected through an internal switching contact to
the power amp Input jack and normally the preamp out is internally connected to the power amp Input. This
circuit allows basically two modes of operation. When signal is taken out of the preamp, signal is
simultaneously also delivered to the internal power amplifier. If access is needed to the internal power
amplifier or If some accessory device such as a noise gate, delay line, etc., is patched "in line", then the
preamp oufpuf signal mu St be connected to the auxiliary unit's lnput,^h\\eiU&auxiliary unit’s output must be
connected to the power amp input, thereby placing the auxiliary unit in series or "In line" with the normal
signal path. With this unique patching facility, many Interesting effects can be accomplished.
