PRECAUTIONS
INITIAL SETUP PROCEDURE
We recommend starting with one amp and checking your progress. With so many
cables, it can be easy to connect things incorrectly.
Be sure all devices are powered off before making any connections. Place the front
panel ATTENUATOR switch in the down position.
Connect a speaker cabinet to SPEAKER 1
Connect an amplifier’s speaker output toAMP OUTPUT 1.
Connect the same amplifier’s input jack toAMP INPUT 1.
If you have an attenuator, connect its input to the ATTENUATOR INPUT jack and
its output to the ATTENUATOR OUTPUT jack. Note: the attenuator will be bypassed
while the front panel ATTENUATOR switch is in the down position.
Connect your guitar to the front panel INPUT jack. Rotate theAMPLIFIER dial to
position 1. Rotate the SPEAKER dial to position 1.
Power on the 8x8 Stereo Deluxe and then turn on your amplifier.
Listen for the guitar signal. If you hear it coming from the speaker, move on to 10. If
not, double check your cable connections as well as the amplifier and guitar volume
To test your attenuator, place the ATTENUATOR switch in the up position. Should the
sound disappear, check your cable connections as well as the attenuator output level.
Repeat the above steps as necessary to add the rest of your amps and cabinets.
