Thoughts on the HI/LO jacks & the 3-Way EQ Switch

For the input jacks, the low jack adds a pad just before the input to the first preamp tube. It attenuates how much signal will hit the first preamp since the amp volume is after the first preamp. It acts the same as turning the volume down on your guitar. The use of high vs Low is purely a preference thing. If you are using hot humbuckers but want the most clean headroom, you would plug into the low input for your best chance of getting clean. We actually encourage users to just try each input with any guitar they plan to use to see how it performs. Again, no right or wrong here....

The 3-way switch changes out the cathode cap on the first preamp, adjusting just how much frequency the tube is allowed to pass. One position passes the most frequencies so it seems to boost the signal, the middle position has no bypass cap so it is more of a neutral setting so best for cleans, and the last position boosts more of the middle and high frequencies with a cut of lower frequencies. Can come in handy when you're hitting it hard not to overload the bottom.

Although not totally necessary, to Gain easier access to tubes, you CAN remove rear panel by backing out the four screws from the cab.

ALSO make sure amp unplugged.  BUT FIRST, to drain PS caps, with amp ON and active, unplug from wall.

***IMPORTANT
: Make sure amp is leaning forward on rug/towel work space. Screws are holding chassis to cab providing full support without which amp chassis could drop.
