USING CHANNEL A: Channel A is
able to reproduce the later or modern
Hank tones. Setting up is described in
detail in the main manual. For a clean
sound, turn the VOLUME to full and set
the DRIVE to approximately the 9
o’clock position. This will vary
according to the signal strength of your
pickups or their adjustment. Remember
that there is far more mid range than
normally available on other amps.
Because the EQ circuitry is passive, the
controls are interactive. Therefore, the
BASS control can effect the MID range
too.
GENERAL: The overall volume of the
amplifier is controlled by the MASTER
section. To silence the amp for
recording, insert a jack plug into the left
EXTENSION SPEAKER socket.

Here are some example settings, which
have been devised by Charlie Hall of
Echoes From The Past. Charlie
designed and programmed the
Quadraverb echoes currently used by
Hank Marvin and is a leading authority
on The Shad’s and other early
instrumental sounds.
These apply to Channel B... the main
channel for early Shadows sounds.
APACHE
Please use this additional manual in
conjunction with your main manual ‘Getting
To Know The Sessionette:75 Guitar
Amplifier’. Some of the instructions in the
main manual do not apply to the Stockton
version.
You may like to know that the Stockton’s
tone forming electronics is identical to the
Session ‘AceTone’ version, which was
developed to match the Echoes From The
Past programmed Alesis Q2 and Q20
effects processor. The Stockton has been
designed for players who use other echo
processors such as the ZOOM 508, Age 1
or Atlantis.
The differences from the AceTone are:
1. The Stockton produces 60 watts into it's
internal speaker - 100 watts with extention
16 ohm cabinet.
2. Standard 0dB (775mV) serial effects
loop to match most common effects
processors.
3. The "Aux In" is routed via the FX loop,
reverb, G12T direct recording output and
M/Volume
4 Premium Celestion Vintage 30 speaker
fitted.
CHANNEL A: The Sockton’s Channel A is
more easily able to be used as an
additional clean channel. It produces a
smooth American distortion tonality. The
levels of distortion can be rich and deep.
The standard SESSIONETTE has twice the
depth of distortion, therefore, is not able to
be set up as clean for instrumental use. The
Stockton is exceptional at all modern tones
too.
CHANNEL B: This channel has different
EQ circuitry and voicing from the standard
Sessionette. It has been specially designed
to to produce the tones of the early sixties
valve amps used by The Shadows and
Beatles etc. Those old amplifiers, which
gave them their distinctive sounds, are still
in wide use today, but for most of us, they
are too expensive, unreliable and very
heavy to carry around. The Stockton has
been designed to give you the sounds you
hear on record... not merely a copy of those
amps. After all, it’s the records you love!
This channel does not produce distortion,
unless you play the amp loudly beyond the
rated output power.
Everything else works as described in the
main manual.
As always, Session amplifiers are fitted with
efficient speakers with large magnets, which
are able to turn much more of the
amplifier’s power into acoustic sound
output.
OUT PUT POWER: 60 watts into 16 ohms
(internal speaker ) or 100 watts into 8 ohms
(with 16 ohm extension speaker).
Do not connect extension speaker
cabinets with a total impedance of
less than 16 ohms, or permanent
damage may occur.
The construction is modular to allow quick
inexpensive servicing in the future and is
made with components commonly available
throughout the world.
