Bambino Guitar Amplifier

Output Switch – The Bambino includes an 8 watt/ 2 watt output switch. The switch

effectively lowers the plate voltage and the overall output of the amplifier to 2 watts for

low volume use. This is especially useful in critical situations where excess noise is a

factor. Gain is slightly reduced and the speaker is moving less air, so some change in the

sound is apparent. However the feature is highly useful and the circuitry has been

optimized to retain quality tone and feel of the amplifier at both settings of the switch.



Footswitch Jack – Use with optional footswitch to select between the three modes of

operation.



Impedance selector – Use this switch to match the impedance to the cabinet being used.

16 ohm and 8 ohm selections are available. When using the Bambino with NO SPEAKER

ATTACHED, make sure the impedance selector is in the 8 ohm position. This provides the

proper loading for the internal 8 ohm load.



Speaker Output – Connect your speaker cabinet here. Be sure to match cabinet imped-

ance to the proper output impedance setting. Failure to do so may cause distorted sound

and damage to the amplifier.



Line Output and Headphones Jacks (Head only) – The Bambino features a balanced line

output and a stereo headphone output. The speaker may or may not be used in conjunc-

tion with the line out and/or headphones. When the speaker is disconnected, the speaker

output is routed to the internal load and then to the filter circuitry to provide a true speaker

simulated silent output. The headphone jack may also be used as a stereo output to a set

of computer monitors or powered studio monitors. Fully speaker compensated recording

tones are available.



Level control (Head only) – This adjusts the level at the line out and headphone jacks.

Simultaneous use of the headphones and line out is not recommended.



Fuse – If replacement is necessary, use only the fuse ratings noted on panel.



AC Inlet – Connect to wall using provided cord. Note power requirements on panel.
