Front Panel
BASS, MIDDLE AND TREBLE EQ
Passive tone controls that regulate the low, mid, and high frequencies of the Lead channel.
REVERB LEVEL
Controls the overall reverb level.
EFFECTS SEND
1/4” output jack for supplying signals to external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.
EFFECTS RETURN
1/4” input for returning signals from external low-level effects or signal processing equipment. This is a
switching jack. Inserting a plug into this jack will break the signal path until it is returned via the
EFFECTS SEND (#13) jack.
RESONANCE (Valve King™ 212 and 100 Head only)
This patented feature, available only from Peavey, is used to ne-tune the low-frequency response and
damping factor of the power amp section. At higher settings, the speakers are allowed to move more
freely at low frequencies, resulting in more apparent low end, with slightly less signal clarity at maxi-
mum settings.
PRESENCE (Valve King™ 212 and 100 Head only)
This control is used to ne-tune the high-frequency response and damping factor of the power amp sec-
tion. At higher settings, the speakers are allowed to move more freely at high frequencies, resulting in
more apparent high end.
PILOT LIGHT
Illuminates when AC power is being supplied to the amp.
STANDBY SWITCH
Placing this switch in the “Standby” position will effectively shut the amp off while leaving the tube la-
ments on. Leave this switch in the “Standby” position for a minimum of one (1) minute after engaging
the POWER SWITCH (#19). This is also a useful feature, since much tube wear comes from the heating
and cooling of the tube itself. Leaving the unit in “Standby” when you take a break allows the tubes to
stay warm while you are not playing. To immediately resume normal amp operation with no warm-up
delay, place the switch in the “on” position. NOTE: This switch does not replace the POWER SWITCH
(#19). When you are ready to stop playing for an extended period of time, it is better to turn the amp off
via the POWER SWITCH (#19).
POWER SWITCH
To apply power to the unit, ip the switch to the “on” position. The red PILOT LIGHT (#17) will illuminate,
indicating power is being supplied.
