GETTING STARTED
1. After unpacking the amplifier, check to make sure all the tubes are firmly seated in their sockets as some may have loosened
a bit during shipping.
2. Connect the A.C. Cord to a grounded (3 pin) A.C. outlet.
3. Unpack the TRIPLE CROWN Footswitch and connect the 6 pin DIN Footswitch cable to the FOOTSWITCH DIN jack on the
right side of the Rear Panel. If you intend to use a MIDI Controller to access the Channels and Features, connect your Con-
troller (or Computer) to the MIDI IN jack on the TRIPLE CROWN Rear Panel.
4. Connect your speaker enclosure to the proper matching impedance SPEAKER OUTPUT on the left side of the TRIPLE
CROWN Rear Panel. An 8 Ohm load is preferable for your first experience with an amp this dynamic and explosive as you will
hear the full power potential and best Tonal balance. .
5. Flip the POWER Switch to the ON position while leaving the STANDBY Switch in the STANDBY position for at least 30 sec-
onds. This allows the filaments to warm up in the tubes before being put to use. Following this cold-start procedure every time
you power up will increase the toneful life of your tubes.
6. If you intend to connect processing devices to your loop, do so now and look up EFX LOOP in this manual for proper connec-
tion and operation, although we recommend auditioning the TRIPLE CROWN without processing for the first time. If the Loop
is to be in, check the INPUT levels on your processor to make sure they are in the medium to lower range so you can increase
the level slowly once you have lifted STANDBY on the TRIPLE CROWN and run through the Channels to view the SEND level
coming from the amp.
7. Follow the Sample Settings examples below and set the Controls at these approximate settings for a tour through your new
world of TONE. Remember these are just a glimpse at the vast possibilities and are meant to give you a taste of one possible
way to set up your Channels. Feel free to fine tune the sound as you go...you can’t hurt a thing and you will be learning by
feel...the best way.
8. Flip the STANDBY to the ON position and enjoy the ride!
INSTANT GRATIFICATION
In case you haven’t yet played your new amplifier, below is just one example of the many ways
to set up the Channels. This example demonstrates a pristine Clean sound in Channel 1, a heavy Crunch Rhythm in Channel 2, and
a burning high gain lead tone in Channel 3.
