A. LINE CORD - The Vibro-King is equipped with a
grounding type supply cord to reduce the possibility
of shock hazard. Be sure to connect it to a grounded
AC receptacle. DO NOT ALTER THE AC PLUG.
B. FUSE - The fuse is in the AC supply of the
amplifier and will help to protect the amplifier in the
event of an electrical fault or tube failure. If a fuse
blows, replace it only with one of the same type and
rating. (Refer to the specification page to determine
the correct fuse type and rating for your amplifier).
NEVER use a fuse with a higher current rating as
this could damage the equipment and present a
serious safety hazard. If the amplifier repeatedly
blows fuses, it should be taken to an authorized
Fender service center.
C. POWER SWITCH - Turns the AC power ON and
OFF. When the amplifier is in the OFF position, the
amplifier is completely shut down.
D. STANDBY SWITCH - When the power switch
and this switch are ON, your Vibro-King is ready to
perform. In the STANDBY position, power is
supplied ONLY to the tube filaments and sound will
NOT come out of the amp. Using the STANDBY
SWITCH during short breaks eliminates tube warm-
up time and will increase tube life.
E. MAIN SPEAKER JACK - This is the main plug-in
connection to the speakers and must always be used
as their primary connection.
F. EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK - Plug-in connection
for an external speaker enclosure. This jack is wired
in parallel with the main speaker jack and must ONLY
be used in conjunction with the main speaker jack. If
this jack is used without the main speaker jack, no
sound will be produced. The external speaker jack
should be used with the 4Ω Vibro-King 212 speaker
enclosure. Under this configuration, the resulting
speaker load will be optimum for full power.
G. FOOTSWITCH (INCLUDED) - Plug-in connection
for the footswitch. The footswitch allows the remote
On / Off selection of the FAT and VIBRATO features.
Using the footswitch overrides the front panel FAT
select switch .
H. EFFECTS RETURN - This
1/4 inch, unbalanced, TS, input
jack is designed to accept signal
from an external processing
device, such as a digital delay or
a chorus unit.
I. EFFECTS SEND - This 1/4
inch, unbalanced, TS, output
jack is designed to feed an
external signal processing
device, such as a digital delay or
a chorus unit.
