Front Panel Controls & ConneCtions

1. Guitar In – Plugyourguitarinhere.It’snotuncommontouseHIGH

input for guitars equipped with standard pickups and LOW when using

guitarsequippedwithactiveelectronics.SomeliketouseHIGH input

for guitars equipped with single coil pickups and LOW when using

guitarsequippedwithhumbuckers.There’snohardandfastrule–just

plug in to the input that sounds best to you.

2. Power Switch – Connect the included power cable to your rear panel.

For optimum tube life always power your amp on with your amp set to

STBY.

3. Standby Switch – Allowtheamptowarmupforoneminutebefore

setting STBY to ON. This extends the life and performance of your

vacuum tubes. It is not necessary to set the amp to STBY before

setting the Power Switch to its OFF position, but it can be a good

habit,ifonlytoensureyou’vegotitsetproperlynexttimeyoupower

up the amp.

4. Master Volume – Setstheoverallvolumeoftheamplierwithout

having to change your individual channel settings.

5. Channel A & B Controls – DRIVE controls how much “dirt” or

“distortion” you get in your sound. BASS, MID, TREBLE and

PRESENCE controls will interact differently depending on which

VOICING you have selected.

REVERBadjuststhechannel’s reverb level, allowing you to switch

betweenchannelswithdifferentamountsofreverb.Ifyoudon’twant

any reverb, simply turn this knob fully counter-clockwise.

VOLUME sets the output level for its channel only.

6. Channel Select Switch – DT50 features two independent

channels, A & B.WhensettoA,usethe(5A)controls.ForB use

the (5B) controls. You can assign unique combinations of Voicing/

Feedback Topology, Amplier Operating Class and Pentode/

Triode settings for each channel. This provides much more than the

traditionalclean/dirtychannelconguration.Eitherchannelcanbeset

upanywayyoulike…evenidentically,ifthat’swhatyou’relookingfor.

Customizationofeachchannelisnotlimitedtosimplychangingsome

components of the preamp or tone stack - the entire power section

canbereconguredandswitchedinstantlytoo.It’s like having two

extremely versatile tube amps in one box!

7. Voicing Switch – This switch determines the flavor of the currently

selected channel’s preamp and tone stack, as well as the Negative

Feedback Loop topology (NFL).  NFL has a big impact on tonal

characteristics and the overall “feel” of the amp. Flip the switch up or

downtotogglethroughsettingsIthroughIV.Withasingleswitchyour

tonecangofromcleantomean.Eachvoicingisdistinct:

I – PutstheNFLinitstightestsettingwhileconguringtheChannel

Control’sbehaviorreminiscentofthegreatAmerican“Blackface”

ampsofthe60’s.Recommended settings: Class AB, Pentode

II – Sets the NFL topology to be a little looser than I while the

Channel Control settings are capable of dialing in echoes of

classic British amps. Recommended settings: Class AB, Pentode

III – ThisistheZeroNegativeFeedbackLoopsettingwhichproducesa

very “open” or “dynamic” feeling amp. In this setting, the Channel

 Controlsareconguredforversatilitywitha distinct “chime-y”

quality. Recommended settings: Class A, Pentode (clean) or

Triode (rounder, vintage feel)

IV – Setting IV brings the NFL back in and adds a low frequency

resonance that pairs quite well with high gain voicing applied to

the Channel Controls. Recommended settings: Class AB, Pentode

8. Class A / Class AB Switch – Class A operation is more dynamic

with greater touch sensitivity. Use Class AB operation for greater

headroom and power. In addition to setting the operating class, this

switch also determines the wattage and bias type:

 WhensettoClass Atheampisrunningat25Watts and cathode

biased.WhensettoClass ABtheampisrunningat50Wattsandxed

biased.

Try both settings with each voicing to see what sounds best to you.

9. Pentode / Triode Switch – Thisswitchchangestheconguration

of the power tubes. Set switch to Pentode to sound clear and

commanding. Triode sounds quieter and rounder with a more vintage

feel.
