4. Opstelling

4.1 Kragverbinding

Connect the supplied power cord to the MAINS INPUT on the rear panel of the amplifier and then to a suitable AC power outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'OFF' position before connecting.

4.2 Guitar Connection

Plug your guitar into one of the INPUT jacks on the front panel. The AC10C1 features two input channels: 'NORMAL' and 'TOP BOOST'. Experiment with both to find the tone that best suits your playing style.

4.3 External Speaker Connections

The rear panel includes 'EXTERNAL SP' and 'EXTENSION SP' jacks for connecting additional speaker cabinets. The 'EXTERNAL SP' jack disconnects the internal speaker when used, while the 'EXTENSION SP' jack runs in parallel with the internal speaker. Always ensure the impedance selector switch (8 Ohms or 16 Ohms) matches the impedance of your connected speaker(s).

5. Bedryfskontroles

5.1 Voorpaneelkontroles

• Krag skakelaar: Draai die amplifier's main power ON or OFF.
• STANDBY Switch: Engages or disengages the standby mode. For tube longevity, turn the POWER switch ON first, wait approximately one minute for the tubes to warm up, then switch the STANDBY to ON.
• MEESTERVOLUME: Beheer die algehele uitsetvolume van die amplewendiger.
• TONE CUT: This control is counter-intuitive. Turning it clockwise (up) reduces higher frequencies, resulting in a warmer, darker tone with more prominent mids and lows. Turning it counter-clockwise (down) reduces lower frequencies, making the tone brighter.
• TREMOLO (DEPTH & SPEED): Adjusts the intensity (Depth) and rate (Speed) of the built-in tremolo effect.
• REVERB VLAK: Controls the amount of the built-in digital reverb effect. Use sparingly, as higher settings can produce a long decay tail.
• TOP BOOST (BASS & TREBLE): These controls adjust the low and high frequencies specifically for the Top Boost channel, allowing for precise tonal shaping.
• TOP BOOST VOLUME: Controls the volume of the Top Boost channel. When combined with the MASTER VOLUME, this acts as a preamp gain control for the Top Boost channel.
• NORMAL VOLUME: Controls the volume of the Normal channel. Similar to the Top Boost Volume, this acts as a preamp gain control for the Normal channel when used with the MASTER VOLUME.

5.2 Agterpaneelverbindings

• VOET SKAKELAAR: Connect an optional footswitch (not included) to remotely switch the tremolo and reverb effects ON/OFF.
• EKSTERNE SP: Connects an external speaker cabinet. The internal speaker will be disconnected.
• UITBREIDING SP: Connects an extension speaker cabinet. This will operate in parallel with the internal speaker.
• IMPEDANCE SELECT: Switch to match the impedance (8 Ohms or 16 Ohms) of your connected speaker cabinet(s).
