Using this Combo Amplifier
To get the very best out of your Fazley Kubo 10 combo guitar amplifier, please follow the steps detailed
below.
Connecting up
To connect your electric guitar with this amplifier, you will need a standard instrument or guitar cable. This is
usually a 6.35mm TS jackplug cable, with either straight or angled plugs. Unfortunately, this type of cable is
designed in such a way that it will always cause a minor short circuit when connected to the input of the
amplier. This usually causes behavior like crackling noises, but can also harm your instrument and amplifier.
Therefore it’s important to follow the following steps when connecting your instrument to this (or any other)
amplifier.
Connect the wall adapter to the DC 12V input of the guitar amplifier.
Plug the power adapter into a suitable wall outlet, but do not turn on the amplifier yet.
Make sure that the POWER switch of the amp is not activated, the LED indicating the power status should
be OFF.
Connect the instrument cable to your instrument.
Connect the cable to the guitar input of the amplifier.
Now switch on the power of the amp, the LED will light up.
f you wish to disconnect the instrument from your amplifier after use, follow the steps in reversed order:
Make sure that the power of the amp is disconnected, the LED indicating power should be OFF.
Remove the guitar cable plug from the amplifier.
Remove the guitar cable plug from your instrument.
Remove the power adapter from the wall outlet.
Remove the power adapter from the DC 12V power input of the guitar amplifier.
Controls
Make sure that the controls are set to a normal level. Set the gain control and volume level to very low, and
the tone and bass tone controls to the middle, or 12 o’clock position. After the amplifier has been switched
on, these settings can be adjusted.
Select the channel you want to use. The Kubo 10 has a Clean channel and a Distortion channel. The Clean
channel reproduces the sound of your electric guitar as clearly and accurately as possible. The Distortion
channel adds an extra distortion effect to the sound of your electric guitar, making it sound raw. The level of
distortion can be controlled using the Gain control when the Distortion channel has been selected.
AUX Input
The Kubo 10 has been fitted with a mini-jack AUX input, making it possible to connect a smartphone, tablet,
or laptop. Essentially any device that sends a stereo line-signal via a 3.5mm mini-jack output can be
connected to the Kubo 10 and if it doesn’t have this kind of output, an adapter can be used. As such, media-
players can also be connected.
The Volume control fitted next to the AUX input can be used to set the level of the input signal so that the
perfect balance between the volume of your guitar and the sound of any connected external device can be
optimised.
Gain, Volume, Speaker
Once the other elements are set up, it’s possible to adjust and set the Gain and Volume. While both controls
seem to adjust the volume, this is not the case, The Gain control adds extra overdrive to the signal of your
electric guitar when the Distortion channel has been selected. The Master Volume controls the overall
volume of the sound coming out of the amplifier, no matter how the amplifier settings have been adjusted, or
which channel has been selected.
Please note that the Kubo 10 is designed for use as a practice amplifier and is not designed for live use. f

the maximum volume of the Kubo 10 is reached, this can cause an overload which can drastically reduce the
lifespan of the amplifier. While the Kubo 10 will sound distorted when the Distortion channel has been
selected (and depending on the Gain level), clipping may occur when the volume is set to maximum.
When clipping occurs, it can cause unwanted noise and an extreme level of distortion that can put a
damaging amount of stress on the built-in speaker.
Two-Band Tone Controls
With the two-band tone controls (Bass and Treble), the amplified sound of the electric guitar can be tweaked
until you get the kind of tone you want. The Treble control sets the high frequencies of the sound, and the
Bass control sets the low frequencies. Experiment with the settings to find what you like, but it’s always a
good idea to try to keep tone controls turned as far down as possible. Be aware that when the Bass or Treble
controls are turned to a high level, this can cause distortion in those specific frequency ranges.
