To p P a n e l

A. INPUT 1 - Plug in connection for most guitars. B. INPUT 2 - A lower sensitivity (-6dB) than INPUT 1, offering cleaner response with high-output instruments or a darker tone with passive instruments. If both inputs are used simultaneously, both input sensitivities become identical. C. CHANNEL SELECT - Press to switch channels: Normaluse the VOLUME {E} control Driveuse DRIVE {F} and MASTER {G} controls D. CHANNEL INDICATOR Off Normal channel is active Drive channel is active Red E. VOLUME - Adjusts the loudness of the Normal channel. F. DRIVE - Adjusts the preamp volume and distortion level of the Drive channel. G. MASTER - A final adjustment for the overall loudness of the Drive channel. After you set the DRIVE {F} level, use MASTER to normalize the Drive channel volume. H. NORMAL/BRIGHT - Boosts high-frequency response. Normal Bright (boost)
L. PREAMP OUT / POWER AMP IN (1) Effects Loop - Connect PREAMP OUT to your effects input, and POWER AMP IN to the effects output. (2) Multiple Amps - Connect PREAMP OUT on the primary unit to POWER AMP IN on the auxiliary unit. The primary unit is used to control the auxiliary unit, except for Reverb and Presence which remain active on each unit. (3) Recording or Reinforcement - Connect PREAMP OUT to the input of sound equipment. Use shielded instrument cables with PREAMP OUT and POWER AMP IN. Both jacks are located before Reverb and Presence in the signal path. M. FOOTSWITCH - Connect the included footswitch to enable remote Channel and Reverb switching. When connected, the footswitch overrides the corresponding panel controls. NOTE: Use unshielded speaker cable rather than instrument cable for connecting the footswitch. N. POWER INDICATOR - Illuminates when the Blues DeVille is on. Unscrew the red jeweled cover to access the bulb (type T47) for replacement. O. STANDBY - Switch into Standby instead of turning the power off during short breaks to keep the tubes warm and ready to play; switch into Standby before turning the power on and stay in Standby for 30 seconds after the power is on. These procedures will extend the life of your amplifier tubes. P. POWER SWITCH - Turns the Blues DeVille on-off.

I. MIDDLE/BASS/TREBLE - Adjusts the mid/low/high frequency tone characteristics, respectively. J. PRESENCE - Adjusts ultra-high tone characteristics after the preamp distortion stage, producing a special highfrequency sparkle. K. REVERB - Adjusts the Reverb effect level.

Rear Panel
T. POWER CORD - Connect the power cord in accordance with the voltage and frequency ratings listed on the rear panel of your Blues DeVille amplifier. U. FUSE - Protects the amplifier from electrical faults. Replace a blown fuse only with the type and rating specified on the fuse holder. V. MAIN SPEAKER - One of 3 speaker load configurations must always be connected to your Blues DeVille when it is on. (Power on without speakers may damage your amplifier.)
W. EXTERNAL SPEAKER - This jack can only be used when a plug is inserted into the main speaker jack. X. FENDER/GROOVE TUBES GT6L6B - The output tubes in your Blues DeVille amplifier are performance matched and labeled as a color-coded pair. When replacing these tubes, we recommend selecting new tubes that have the same red, white or blue color labels as the originals. Otherwise, tube bias may need adjustment. See Specifications below for color coded tube part numbers. Y. PREAMP TUBE STABILIZER A vibrationabsorbing stabilizer is installed around the preamp tubes to minimize tube microphonics that normally develop over time. The stabilizer can be used with all preamp tubes compatible with your Blues DeVille amplifier.
