SOLO:
This control can only be activated if the correct Footswitch is connected
to the Footswitch DIN jack.
SOLO
is an
additional fi nal output level control wired in parallel with the OUTPUT Control. It is capable of a setting above that of the OUTPUT
Control and can not be set below. The amount of apparent boost also depends on that of the OUTPUT Control - in that if the amplifi er
is at either the extreme low or extreme high levels of the OUTPUT, its effectiveness is minimized. It has been
optimized for live performance volume levels.
If the power section is either not a part of the sound (super quiet), or producing all its rated wattage ( super
loud), there is very little signal for the
SOLO
control to work with. By using the Footswitch and selecting
SOLO
,
a pre-settable boost in overall levels is possible on the fl y...giving you some control over your levels when it’s
time to step out. Engineers may give you a bit of a frown the fi rst time you use it...but isn’t it time you heard
yourself. It might even prevent them from punishing you with the dreaded monitor or sidefi ll version of your tone.
STANDBY:
Perfect for set breaks... this toggle switch also serves an even more important purpose. In the Standby position the
tubes are at idle so that during power up they may warm up before being put to use. Before Power is switched on make sure the
STANDBY
switch is in the Standby position.
Wait at least 30 seconds and then fl ip the
STANDBY
switch to the ON position. This prevents
tube problems and increases their toneful life substantially.
POWER:
This switch delivers the A.C. power to the
RECT-O 50.
Make sure the unit is grounded (all three terminals of the A.C.
power cord must be connected whenever possible to avoid injury to the user as well as to the unit) and that the proper voltage is
present.
Follow the cold start procedure described in the ON/ STANDBY section above when powering
up your new
RECT-O 50.
