a special circuit in the Rebel 30 that
-
age in case you forget to plug in a
speaker and try to play the amp. As
we all know, NEVER operate any tube
amp without a proper speaker load
connected! The exception would be the
Rebel 30 combo only when used in the
SILENT RECORD mode. This would
be the only instance where it is OK to
use the amp with no speaker connected.
8) EXTENSION SPEAKER: Used
for connecting an external speaker
along with the internal combo
speaker(s). Since the MAIN speaker
output is labeled “USE FIRST”, you
can assume the EXTENSION speaker
output would be “use second”. See the
chart later in this manual for proper set-
ting of the IMPEDANCE switch when
using extension speakers.
9) FOOTSWITCH: Plug the supplied
Rebel 30 pedal in here for remote con-
trol of the channel selection and reverb
on/off functions.
10) 315mA FAST BLO FUSE: This
fuse is to protect the internal ampli-
be caused by a shorted output tube. In
case of a power tube failure, this fuse
will blow and there will be no sound.
If the amp appears to be “lighting up”
normally but there is not output, check
this fuse. If it is blown (open), this
indicates on or more output tubes has
failed and must be replaced.
Use the troubleshooting method be-
low to determine if a power tube has
shorted.
a) Turn the power off.
b) Set the TUBE MIX control to
c) Allow the power tubes to cool
and remove the two 6V6 tubes.
d) Install a new 315mA FAST
BLO fuse in the holder.
e) Place the STANDBY switch in
the standby (center) position
f) Move the STANDBY switch to
the PLAY position.
g) If the amp makes sound and
the tone is normal, this is a clue
that one of the 6V6 tubes is bad.
h) If the 315mA fuse blows, one
of the EL84 tubes is bad.
i) Next, turn the power OFF
again and allow the tubes to cool.
j) Remove the EL84 tubes and
reinstall the 6V6 tubes.
k) Turn the power back ON while
in the STANDBY mode.
l) Move the Standby switch to
the PLAY position.
m) If the 315mA fuse does not
n) If the fuse does blow, one of
the 6V6 tubes is shorted.
o) Replace the bad PAIR of tubes
with a same rated pair from
Egnater (1-877-EGNATER) and
NOTE: This is a useful trouble
shooting technique if you are on the job
and your amp dies. Once you deter-
mine which pair of tubes is bad, you
can safely operate the amp with only
the remaining good pair until you can
get the amp properly serviced. Obvi-
ously you must at least carry extra
315mA fuses in order to do this. Spare
tubes would also be a really good idea.
11) AC VOLTAGE SELECTOR:
Makes the Rebel 30 compatible with
the line voltage in any country. Proper
setting of this switch is absolutely
critical. Be sure the switch position
matches the line voltage in your coun-
try. Severe damage will result from
improperly setting this switch and will
void your warranty, as well as destroy-
ing your amp.
12) AC INLET & FUSE: Connect a
universal IEC type power cord. Be sure
the proper value fuse is installed that
matches the ratings for your country as
indicated on the rear panel.
13) AC POWER SWITCH: Turns the
main power on/off.
