Congratulations on your purchase of the all new
5150"1 212 Combo.
The new Combo, based on the
original 5150® Stack, offers the best aspects of a signature model. The sonic trademark of traditional combo amps
is the characteristic dispersion of sound resulting from open backed cabinetry. It's one of the features that allows
small combos to sound so big-thc speakers actually spread the sound around more of the stage. But while open
cabinet designs are efficient, they also leave most combos lacking in characteristic resonance and low end Ihump,
which is so much a part of the "stack" sound. By sealing off the cabinet in the 5150®212 Combo, Pcavey has
created a "one-piece stack." In fact, this "stack cut in half" approach defines the 5150 212 Combo and sets ii apart,
from its fellow combos. It has half the power of a 5150® Head, driving half as many speakers, in a cabinet built of
the same wood and with the same construction techniques.
The combo boasts more versatility than its slacked stable-mate, thanks to an enhanced, clean sound and
circuitry that takes full advantage of the cabinet's sonic possibilities and the impressive tonal balance of well-
matched components. Turn up the bass and you'll appreciate the 5150 212 Combo's sealed cabinet design. The
serious guitarist looking for an expressive tonal palette will find few amps that match ihc 5150's responsiveness.
Because of its singular design and distinguished tone, the 5150 212 Combo is in a category all its own.
Top Panel Controls:
INPUTS (1 & 2):
The 5150 212 Combo's input block features High (1) and Low (2) Gain Inputs. The High Gain Input has twice the
gain of the Low Gain Input and should be used when maximum overdrive is desired. When both inputs arc used
simultaneously, the 5150212 Combo automatically switches to the normal gain mode (6 dB pad). Situations
where both inputs are used at once (alternating between two guitars on stage using both inputs, etc.) should be
avoided if peak overdrive is expected from the amp. Experimentation with your particular guitar/pickup into each
input will determine which input is best for your sound.
CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH (3):
Allows selection of the rhythm or lead channel. Depressing the switch to the "in" position activates the lead
channel. The red LED light next to the Lead Pre control will illuminate to indicate that the lead channel is active.
In the "out" position, the rhythm channel is activated and the green LED illuminates next to the Rhythm Pre
control to indicate that, the rhythm channel is active. Channels may be remotely selected using the
5150212 Combo's footswiteh. If remote selection is desired, the Channel Select switch must be set to the "in"
position (lead channel).
