sure that the case, connection cable, and plug the AC
adapter are not damaged: no cuts, cracks, dents, etc. and
are in good condition.
To connect the preamp to the AC adapter, insert the low-
voltage connector adapter into the jack on the right panel
of the preamp, and then plug the adapter into the wall
outlet.
Disconnecting the preamp from the power adapter:
To disconnect the preamp from the AC adapter, disconnect
the AC adapter from the power outlet, and then disconnect
the low-voltage connector from the socket on the right-
hand panel of the preamp.
To prevent damage during storage and transport use the
original packaging.

opportunity for reloading in a wide range of gain. M-2 forms the
structure of the overloaded sound characteristic of the amplifier
JSM800 while maintaining the ease of small gain and increasing
density at the maximum of its values.
General characteristics
Two-channel preamps effects series LA-2 are designed to produce a
clean and overdriven guitar sound with various schemes organization
guitar tract. The basic concept of the series - "your sound in your
pocket." In a series of LA-2 used the original schematics, developed
by specialists of AMT, and you always get a low-voltage (9V) power
supply and a low current consumption of the bright and rich sound in
the style of the original tube overdrive.
A distinctive feature of the 2 series is three exits for the
implementation of the basic organization schemes channels:
Connect directly to the power amplifier loaded on guitar
speaker;
Connection to the "clean" channel guitar combo amp or
guitar;
Connect directly to a mixing console.
All three outputs can be used simultaneously!!!, fully carrying
out its functions and without exerting any influence on each other.
When connected to power amp and mixer LA-2 is a switchable two-
channel preamp between clean and overdrive channels using
footswitch. CLEAN-channel universal for all models in the series and
has the character of the sound in the style of classic Fender amps.
When operating the LA-2 in the effect of using "clean" channel
external amplifier or combo, you must consider that the resulting
sound is largely determined or used combo amp. While the effect of
the series using the "gentle" active bypass, which reduces the need
to minimize the length of the cords as much as possible while
maintaining the original sound of the instrument while effect
switched off.
CONTROL PANEL
Preamps series LA-2 are easy to handle and have a small number of
controls. Channels is determined by the sensitivity of the position
controller OD. GAIN for the drive channel and click Clean Mid-Boost
for the clean channel. Different models have different series of drive-
overall sensitivity of the channel corresponding to the sensitivity of
the emulated overdrive. Regulators TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS are
adjustable upper, middle and lower frequencies of Drive-channel.
When operating as an effect control OD. GAIN switch and Clean Mid-
Boost do not effect on the sound passing through the bypass! The
output level is determined by the positionregulators OD. LEVEL for
the drive channel and control CL. LEVEL for the clean channel, which
is in the position for 13 hours a standard level of -10dB. Output level
at maximum control position reaches +8 dB, so use this position only
if you want to overload the input circuit of your combo or additional
output amplifier overload..
Attention! Pre-amplifier AMT Legend Amps, as well as any high-end
devices, demands for power supply. We strongly recommend the
use power supply for this series or battery voltage 6F22 (Krone) 9V,
or an adapter that meets the requirements for the quality
(recommended AC / DC Adapter SA09DC-9V 1,11 A or AC / DC
Adapter SA12DC-12V 1,25 A).
