STANDBYIn standby, the amplifier outputs are disabled while power is supplied to the tube filaments only, keeping them warm. *Tip: Use STANDBY instead of switching the power off during short breaks to extend tube life and avoid the warm-up delay upon returning to play. N. IEC POWER INPUT SOCKET Connect to a grounded outlet using the supplied power cord, in accordance with the voltage and frequency specified on the rear panel of your amplifier. O. FUSEProtects the amplifier from electrical faults. Only replace a blown fuse with the type and rating specified on the rear panel of your amplifier. P. SEND LEVELAdjusts the output level of the SEND {Q} jack. Use to accommodate the input sensitivity of your external effects device.

Simply connect SEND to RETURN with a guitar cable then adjust SEND LEVEL {P} and RETURN LEVEL {R} for the desired level of volume boost. R. RETURN LEVELAdjusts the RETURN {Q} jack input level going into the power amp. Use to match the volume level of the amp when effects are off, or to set an alternate volume level selectable from the footswitch. S.

NOTE: You can connect this jack to the POWER AMP IN jack on a second Super-Sonic amp for a double amplifier setup. in which you can control both units from the control panel of the primary amplifier. T. POWER AMP INA direct input to the power amplifier. The preamp circuit is automatically disconnected when a plug is inserted into this jack.
