Tube Amp Fireball Full Tube Guitar Amplifier Operator´s Manual Please, first read this manual carefully!
The Fireball is dual channel, all-tube head that sets new standards for rock amps. Boasting a totally new design, the head is equipped with a 6L6-loaded power amp (60 watts) that packs a mighty punch and cranks out both cutting-edge hi-gain lead sounds and crisp clean tone. Its vast gain reserves make the FIREBALL the king of the hill, the no. 1 rock amp in the business.
8 Presence This control shapes the Treble response in the power amp stage. A TIP from the Designer: To help you get acquainted with the amp's fundamental sounds, I recommend that you set all tone controls to the center or 12 o'clock position. For ultra hi-gain sounds, your best bet is to turn the treble and presence knobs well down to prevent the pickups and speakers from interacting at hi levels and generating feedback (the recommended setting is somewhere in the 8 to 12 o'clock range).

Handling and Care Protect the amp from mechanical knocks (tubes!). Let the amp cool down before you transport it (approx. 10 minutes). Tubes need about 20 seconds to warm up after you switch the power on, and further few minutes before they reach their full power capability. Avoid storing the amp in damp or dusty rooms, they are hard on jacks, switches and potentiometers. Make sure air can circulate at the front and top of the amp to allow for adequate cooling (increases component life).
