Master – Adjusts the overall loudness of the overdrive channel.
Treble – Varies the top end from balanced to forward.
Middle – Varies the mid frequencies and is very influential in taking the tone from dark
to cutting.
Bass – Varies the low end from lean to full.
Standby – Set amp to Standby (switch baton down) before turning on the power switch (see
On-Off-On below). After 1 minute of warm up, switch the Standby baton up. The amp is
ready to be played. Using the Standby switch every time the amp is turned on will prolong
tube life. Set the amp to standby when adjusting the
Impedance and Power selectors (see
below).
Back Panel
On – Off – On – Selects between two ON positions and the OFF position (middle). The
two ON’s are wired in opposite phase of each other. If you receive a shock from another
piece of equipment (a microphone or another amp) that is not properly grounded, or if you
hear static, switching to the opposite ON may solve the problem. This is sometimes called
“switching polarity”.
Mains Fuse – The Slant 6V is protected by a 2 Amp Slow Blow fuse for 120v and 100v
(North America and Japan) models or a 1 Amp Slow Blow fuse for 220v and 240v (Europe
and Asia) models. Please consult us or a qualified tech for assistance in the event of the
mains fuse blowing.
High Voltage Fuse – The Slant 6V is further protected against damage from tube failure by
a 3/8 Amp fast blow fuse (all domestic and export models). If the high voltage fuse blows,
one of the power tubes has most likely gone bad. Please consult us or a qualified tech for
assistance in the event of the high voltage fuse blowing.
Bias Test Points – see Biasing your Slant 6V below
Power Selector – When adjusting the Power selector, the amp should be set to standby. The
Power selector allows you to engage either pair of output tubes (half power) or all 4 at once
(full power). Changing the power setting may require an adjustment of the impedance
setting. See
Impedance Selector below for the correct setting combinations.
