USING YOUR AMPLIFIER
1. Input Jack: This also acts as the ON/OFF switch. A guitar lead must be connected here for the unit
to function. This is to conserve battery life when not in use.
2. Overdrive: Depress this switch to activate the overdrive function.
3. Tone: Adjusts the brightness of the tone.
4. Volume: This control adjusts the distortion gain. Turning it clockwise increases the distortion
intensity whilst increasing output levels.
5. Power: This powers the unit on/off when there is a lead connected to the input jack.
6. Power Indicator: This LED indicates if the unit is switched on.

7. Tuner: To activate the tuner depress this button.
8. Tuner indicator LEDs: Play a note on your guitar. The appropriate red LED will illuminate on the
display to indicate the note being played. If the green # LED also illuminates, this indicates a
chromatic note, e.g. F Sharp (#).
The >arrow LED indicates the note is tuned flat (too low in pitch).
The <arrow LED indicates the note is tuned sharp (too high in pitch).
Adjust the string until the green OK LED between the two arrows is lit.

9. DC in Jack: Use only an AC adaptor regulated 9V or 12V, 500mA and fitted with a “centre minus”
plug. The use of an adaptor other than the specified type may damage the unit and pose a safety
hazard. The use of a non-regulated adaptor could cause a low frequency hum in your unit. If the
amplifier is not to be used for a long time, disconnect the AC adaptor from the main socket.
10. Headphone Jack: For use with most stereo headphones.
CAUTION: To avoid potential damage to your hearing, do not use headphones for prolonged
periods of time at high volumes.

ENGLISH
Turn amplifier volume to “0” before turning the amplifier ON or OFF.
To prevent hum, operate your amplifier and instruments as far away from fluorescent and neon
lamps as possible, as they generate extremely high levels of electronic noise.
About Power:
Since the power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we recommend the use of an AC adaptor
whenever possible. When powering the unit from a battery, only use an alkaline type.
Battery Operation:
The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the unit. To access, pull on the small
tab labelled, “OPEN.”
Use a generic 9V dry battery (6F22 alkaline or manganese.)
The Micro Crush cannot be used for recharging.
Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make sure you choose the correct type.
If the Micro Crush is not used for an extended period, remove the battery from the unit.
If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the battery compartment and battery terminals
carefully to remove all remnants of battery fluid.
While using the unit, the battery compartment cover should be closed.
