Operation Manual

CHAMPION 30 FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS
A. INPUT 1 - Plug your guitar in here.
B. INPUT 2 - A lower impedance and sensitivity
input than input 1, useful for guitars with active
pickups. When used with passive guitars, it
provides a darker tone. Both inputs are identical if
used simultaneously.
C. NORMAL VOLUME - Adjusts the overall
loudness of the NORMAL CHANNEL.
D. GAIN - adjusts the amount of preamp
amplification in the DRIVE CHANNEL. Cleaner sound is
achieved at lower gain settings; high gain settings
will produce more sustain and distortion. This
control works in conjunction with the DRIVE VOLUME
control (item F) to set the overall loudness of the
DRIVE CHANNEL.
E. CH SELECT - Activates the DRIVE CHANNEL.
F. DRIVE VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of
the DRIVE CHANNEL.
G. DRIVE CHANNEL INDICATOR - When this
indicator is illuminated, the DRIVE CHANNEL is active.
H. TREBLE - Adjusts the amount of increase or
decrease in the high frequency range.
I. MID - Adjusts the overall tone quality without
affecting the signal level. High MID settings will
provide emphasis in the midrange frequencies
whereas a lower setting will notch the midrange.
J. BASS - Adjusts the amount of increase or
decrease in the low frequency range.
K. REVERB - Adjusts the amount of reverb present
in both the NORMAL and DRIVE CHANNELS.
L. FOOTSWITCH - Plug-in connection for the
optional remote footswitch to select between the
NORMAL and DRIVE channels. For proper
operation of the footswitch, the Gain Select switch
should be out. NOTE: Any good quality patch cord
will work with the remote footswitch, however, a
speaker grade cord is preferable to a coax guitar
cord.
M. EXTERNAL SPEAKER - This jack provides an
output to an external speaker enclosure. The
enclosure must have a minimum impedance of 8Ω.
Using this jack automatically disables the
internal speaker.
N. POWER INDICATOR - When this indicator is
illuminated, the Champion 30 is receiving AC power.
REAR PANEL
POWER SWITCH - This switch turns the AC power
ON and OFF. When the switch is OFF, the amplifier
is completely shut down.
LINE CORD - This amplifier is equipped with a
grounding type supply cord to reduce the possibility
of shock hazard. Be sure to connect it to a
grounded receptacle. DO NOT ALTER THE AC
PLUG.
