CHANNEL/BOOST SWITCHING (WHERE FITTED)
The Channel and Boost manual switches are fitted either to the rear panel or front panel of the
amplifier These functions are designed to be used and accessed via the connected footswitch, the
manual switches are present mainly as a backup . note switches must be in the off position for the
footswitch to function.
RECORDING OUT (WHERE FITTED)
The recording out jack where fitted has an electronically tailored frequency response designed
to approximately replicate the response of a Celestion Alnico speaker fitted into an open back
cabinet. This filter is all analogue and no digital electronics are used. The signal for this is derived
from the output of the amplifier proper and therefore will contain all distortions and Equalisation
dialled in by the user. This output can be used with the speaker connected or with the amplifier
switched into headphone mode (see below)
PHONES OUT (WHERE FITTED)
The phones out is activated from the front panel with the speaker switch, in headphone mode the
speaker is replaced with a resistive load for silent operation.
Volume is controlled with the Master volume in the usual way .

sessions, (disconnect from the mains supply if it is intended not to use the unit for several hours or
days ).
