Stagg 250 GARH User manual

FRONT PANEL
1) INPUT - Plug your guitar in here. We recommend that you always use a high-quality shielded guitar
cable to prevent any background noise interference or unwanted feedback.
2) (CLEAN) VOLUME - This control determines the output volume of the amplier’s clean channel.
3) CHANNEL SELECT - This button can be used to switch between the Clean and Overdrive channels.
Alternatively, you may also select the channel via a footswitch (see FOOTSWITCH).
4) (OVERDRIVE) LED - This red LED lights up when the Overdrive channel is activated.
5) (OVERDRIVE) GAIN - This control determines the distortion intensity of the amplier’s overdrive
setting. Adding GAIN will make your guitar sound more distorted.
6) (OVERDRIVE) MASTER - This control determines the output volume of the amplier’s Overdrive
channel. Adding MASTER will make your guitar sound louder and more percussive.
7) BASS - This control determines the level of low frequencies in the output signal. Adding BASS will make
your guitar sound warmer and heavier.
8) MID - This control determines the level of middle frequencies in the output signal. Adding MID will
make your guitar sound rounder and fuller.
9) TREBLE - This control determines the level of high frequencies in the output signal. Adding TREBLE will
make your guitar sound brighter and sharper.
10) (SPRING) REVERB - This is the reverb intensity control. This controls the amount of reverb that
is added back to the original dry signal. Adding REVERB will produce a reverberation effect in your guitar
sound, as though you were playing in a large hall. A little can go a long way in adding that special depth to
your sound. If engaged, the reverb is always active in either overdrive or clean mode.
11) MASTER - This is the master volume control. It allows you to control the overall listening level of
both channels.
12) CD/MP3 INPUT - This is a line level 1/4" (Ø 6.3 mm) stereo jack into which an MP3/CD/Tape player
may be connected.
13) EFX SEND - This amplier is equipped with an effects loop which allows you to plug effects between
the preamp and the power amp. The EFX SEND jack is a line level 1/4” (Ø 6.3 mm) output jack into which
you may connect one or several outboard effects, eg Flanger, Delay, Chorus etc. The EFX SEND should be
connected to the input jack of the rst effect in your chain.
14) EFX RETURN - This is a line level 1/4" (Ø 6.3 mm) input jack into which you should connect the
output jack of the last effect in your chain. The effects loop may also be used with a multi-effects rack
system, or with a single effect.
15) FOOTSWITCH - This is a 1/4" (Ø 6.3 mm) input jack into which you may connect a footswitch
(included) which will enable you to switch between the Clean and Overdrive channels while playing.
16) BALANCED OUT - This front panel XLR socket drives a post E.Q, post effects, balanced output signal
for connecting directly to one of the Balanced Microphone inputs of a mixing console.
17) POWER LED - When this red LED is lit, the amplier is ready to work. When it is off, it means the
amplier is powered off.
Features and Specications are subject to change without notice.
