Fender HOT ROD De Ville IV Manual De Instrucciones página 3

for REVERB and PRESENCE, which remain active on each
auxiliary unit.
Recording/Sound Reinforcement: Connect PREAMP
OUT to input jack of sound equipment.
Use instrument (shielded) cables with TS (tip-sleeve)
plugs for connections. Both PREAMP OUT and POWER
AMP IN jacks are located before Reverb and Presence in
signal path.
P. FOOTSWITCH: Connect included footswitch here to
enable remote selection of NORMAL/DRIVE/MORE DRIVE
channels. CHANNEL SELECT (K) button on control panel
is disabled when footswitch is connected. Speaker cable
(unshielded) is superior to instrument cable (shielded)
for connecting footswitch.
T. POWER CORD: Connect to a grounded outlet in
accordance with the voltage and frequency ratings
specified on the rear panel of your amplifier.
U. FUSE: The fuse protects the unit from electrical faults.
Replace fuses only with the type and rating specified on
the fuse holder. If the unit repeatedly blows fuses, have the
unit tested at an authorized Fender Service Center.
V. MAIN SPEAKER JACK: One of the following speaker
configurations (internal or external) must always be
connected when the unit is ON to prevent damage to the
amplifier:

Q. POWER INDICATOR: Illuminates when unit is on.
Unscrew red jewel to access bulb (type T47) for
replacement.
R. STANDBY: Use STANDBY instead of switching power off
during short breaks to avoid having to wait for tubes
to warm up when you want to start playing again.
Also, keep amplifier on STANDBY for first 30 seconds
when you first switch power on to give tubes a gentle
warm up cycle. Using STANDBY will extend lifespan of
amplifier's tubes by reducing shock of heat-up / cool-
down cycle on tube filaments.
S. POWER: Turns amplifier on and off.
X. TUBES: Your new Fender amplifier comes equipped
with the highest quality tubes available, sourced from
various manufacturers worldwide. Because of occasional
irregularities in supply, the specific tube type used in each
amplifier is subject to change without notice.
When replacing output tubes, please note the specific tube
markings on the original tubes factory supplied with your
amplifier. For example, 6L6 output tube types used by Fender
include, but are not limited to: 6L6GC; 6L6WXT; 6L6C; 6L6GE;
etc. The installation of a different type may require significant
adjustment by a qualified technician to avoid reduction in
performance and tube life.
Additionally, Fender tests and sorts many of our output
tubes based on their measured performance. The sorted
tubes are marked with a label on the base with coarse
ratings of blue, white and red plus fine ratings of 1-10.
If your amp came supplied with, for example, a pair of
matched GT-6L6-GE power tubes ranked at white-6, then
any pair of GT-6L6-GE power tubes marked with a course
rating of white will be a good replacement. If the tube
replacements are marked as white-6, they will be a perfect
direct replacement.
If you have questions or concerns, contact your Fender
dealer or authorized service center.
Y. PREAMP TUBE STABILIZER: A vibration-absorbing
stabilizer is installed around the preamp tubes to minimize
the tube microphonics that normally develop over
time. The stabilizer can be used with all preamp tubes
compatible with your Hot Rod amplifier.
