INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the CUB-SUPER range.
The CUB-SUPER range oers the tone conscious guitar player boutique tone without the boutique price
tag.
Time proven construction methods rened over 50 years of tube amp building and premium components
means that whilst the CUB-SUPER range appears deceptively simple they are reassuringly toneful. From
gently compressing cleans to touch sensitive crunches and full-on leads without a hint of harshness, it’s
dicult to nd a bad sound in the CUB-SUPER range.
The CUB-SUPER range was designed to free up space on your pedal board by ditching your boost pedal!
Why? Because the CUB-SUPER range has a superb BOOST pedal built into the front end of the circuit. It
works in exactly the same way as kicking in your favourite boost pedal on your board – it boosts your guitar
signal and hits the rst preamp tube in the amp….HARD, and as every guitar player should know hitting a
tube amp hard just makes everything sound better! So free some space and get more from your rig.
Available in 2 combo options, a head and 2 matching cabinet options, hand designed boutique aesthetics
and dynamic interactive tone is now available to everyone.
This manual explains the key features of your CUB-SUPER amp. Read it thoroughly and keep it safe for
future reference.

CUB-RANGE USER MANUAL
1 - POWER SWITCH & LAMP - Indicates that the amplier is powered up and ready to play.
2 - VOLUME - Controls the overall listening volume of the amplier and is used in conjunction with the
Gain control (6).
3 - TREBLE - Controls the amps high end response. Start at 4 or 5 and adjust depending on how dark or
bright you want the amplier to sound.
4 - MIDDLE - Controls the amps midrange response. Start at 4 or 5, lower settings will scoop the mids,
higher levels will allow you to actually hear the guitar in the mix.
5 - BASS - Controls the bass or bottom end of the amplier’s response. As the amp gets louder you may
want to back this o a bit. Start at 7-10 for bedroom volumes.
6 - GAIN - Controls the level of gain/distortion present in the guitar signal. Used in conjunction with the
volume control (2). For clean guitar sounds with plenty of headroom set the gain control low whilst
setting the volume control to the required level. As you dial more gain into the signal it might be
necessary to reduce the volume level accordingly.
7 - BOOST SWITCH - Engages the onboard pre-boost. This is just like kicking in your favourite boost pedal
in front of the amplier.
8 - BOOST KNOB - Dials in the amount of pre boost hitting the rst tube in the ampliers signal path.
Dialling in more BOOST will have the eect of pushing a clean amp into warm tube clipping or naturally
compressing an already clipping amplier.
