Specifications FRONT PANEL Controls:INPUT Jack: This 1/4” jack is the audio input for the amplifier. The input impedance is 1.5MΩ. VOLUME Knob: Controls the overall loudness and gain of the amplifier. We recommend turning down VOLUME prior to applying power. Turn up the VOLUME knob after the amp has been powered up for at least five seconds. TONE Knob: Alters the amplifier’s frequency response. Turning this control counter-clockwise increases bass and turning it clockwise increases treble. BITE Knob: Alters the amplifier’s gain level and frequency response. Turning this control clockwise increases the gain and treble content. This control is also very interactive with the VOLUME control; changing one affects the other. REVERB Knob: Controls the volume of the reverb. When the reverb footswitch is not connected to the back panel via a 1/4” mono instrument cable the reverb is always on. TIME Knob: Adjusts the decay time or reverb length/size for the SPRING HALL and PLATE reverbs. In REVERSE mode the TIME knob sets the length of time between striking a note and the reverb fade-in. While in PLATE mode when TIME is set to its maximum position the reverb decay is over 30 seconds creating a lush reverb wash with each new note. Reverb Switch Knob: Chooses the reverb mode. From left to right the modes are SPRING HALL PLATE and REVERSE. REAR PANEL: AC INLET: Plug the power cable into this jack. FUSE: Within the AC inlet jack is the fuse holder. To access the fuse use a small flathead screwdriver to carefully slide the fuse holder out. The AC voltage rating is marked on the amplifier’s chassis. Failure to use the appropriate fuse could damage the amplifier. REVERB FOOTSWITCH: This jack is to connect the included reverb footswitch via a standard 1/4” mono instrument cable which is also included. The reverb footswitch allows you to turn the reverb on and off. When the cable is disconnected from the REVERB FOOTSWITCH jack the reverb is always on. SPEAKER: This output jack is for 8Ω or 16Ω loudspeaker connections only. WARNING: Connecting your amp to a speaker cabinet that does not have the appropriate impedance or to no cabinet at all could severely damage the DIRT ROAD SPECIAL and void your warranty. If you choose to connect the amplifier to a separate speaker cabinet be sure to select a cabinet that can handle the full rated power of 40WRMS.
