1. ON/OFF SWITCH: Use this switch to
turn the overall system power on or
off.
Always turn this switch ON first and
OFF last! Turn the Full/Standby/Vintage
switch [2] to Full or Vintage at least 30
seconds after turning on the On/Off
switch.
2. FULL/STANDBY/VINTAGE SWITCH:
Use this switch to activate the amplifier
after the On/Off switch [1] is turned
on.
Always make sure this switch is
in STANDBY mode when powering the
Heritage R-12R ON or OFF [1]. Allow
at least 30 seconds before selecting
between Full or Vintage.
During short
breaks this switch should be set to the
Standby position to help prolong the life
of the amplifier’s tubes.
From Standby, users may now select
between a “Full” 30 watts rms tone or
“Vintage”15wattsrmstone.
3. INDICATOR LAMP: The indicator lamp
illuminates red when the amplifier is
turned on...powered up, that is.
4. INTENSITY: This control adjusts
the amount of the tremolo’s intensity.
With the control fully counter-clockwise,
there is no intensity applied; as the
control is turned clockwise, the
amount of intensity increases
accordingly. Dude, intense.
5. SPEED: This control adjusts the
speed of the tremolo. The speed is
slowest fully counter-clockwise,

resulting in a slower response. As
the control is turned clockwise, the
speed increases, resulting in a faster
response.
Note: The Intensity control [4] must be
turned up at least a little to hear the
effect of the Speed control.
6. DIMENSION: This control adjusts
the amount of echo. With the control
fully counter-clockwise, there is no
echo applied; as the control is turned
clockwise, the amount of echo
increases accordingly.
7. TONE: Use this to adjust the overall
tone. Add bass/depth by turning this
knob to the left (“B”) or turn it to the
right for more treble/highs (“T”). The
tone is flattest [equal amounts of bass
and treble] at the center position.
8. VOLUME: This controls the overall
output level of the amplifier. Use it
wisely, and turn it down when making
connections.
9. BRIGHT: The signal output from an
instrument (active or passive) may be
connectedtothis1/4"inputbymeans
of a shielded instrument cable. This
input provides a high-frequency boost
compared to the “Normal” input [10],
for a brightier, punchier sound.
