TD-742
TUBE DRIVER AMP
FRONT PANEL FEATURES (left to right)
TUBE DRIVE SWITCH —Selects either TUBE Channel (up), or CLEAN Channel (down). Red LED indicates Tube chan-
nel is on. Footswitch jack insertion (rear panel) cancels the operation of this switch.
INPUT JACK —Wide-range input allows plenty of headroom for all types of guitars.
TUBE DRIVE —Adjusts the amount of gain that drives the tube. Careful attention has been given to produce the most
overdrive/sustain possible without creating unnecessary noise and feedback.
RED LED —Indicates that the Tube Drive channel has been selected.
TUBE MASTER —Adjusts the amount of output volume from the Tube Drive Channel.
CLEAN GAIN —Adjusts gain level of clean channel. Extremely warm tubey tonality is produced thanks to the tube pre-
amp and MosValve power section. Lows are especially well-balanced.
HI, MID, LO —Classic, passive 3-band E.Q. to enhance the Tube Driver's unique tonal response.
Frequencies: Hi 3.5 KHz (upper shelving)
MID 800 Hz (center)
LO 150 Hz (lower shelving)
REVERB —Adjusts amount of reverb signal mixed into the output. Reverb can be cancelled anytime by the footswitch,
or by turning the control to "0".
HEADPHONE —Standard 1/4” stereo headphone. Use 8 ohm or higher impedance.
POWER —Supplies mains power to the amp. Be certain that the proper voltage is supplied to the amp. The proper volt-
age for your unit is indicated just below the fuse holder on the rear panel.
OWNER’S MANUAL

REAR PANEL FEATURES (left to right)
POWER INPUT CORD —Heavy -duty cord supplied to the requirements of your local. In USA: Connect only to 110-120
VAC, 60 Hz. Always use grounded outlet (3 terminal) to avoid operating problems and to increase safety margin.
FUSE —Use fast-blo 2 Amp for 120 VAC or 1 Amp for 220-240 VAC models. Always replace with the same type and
size fuse.
SPEAKERS —Connect only to speaker supplied. Note: Use of external speaker may void warranty.
FOOTSWITCH —Switches overdrive on and off.
EFFECTS SEND —Proper send level for most effects devices. Connects to the "in" or "guitar” jack of your effects. Can
also be used as a D.I. (Direct Input) to a mixing console or recorder.
EFFECTS RECEIVE —Unity buffered input from effects devices. Connects to the “out” or "amp" jack of your effects.
Can also be used as a direct Power Amp section input.
NOTE: A common problem many encounter while using effects devices is "ground loops". A ground loop is often caused
when an effects device, mixing board or tape recorder equipped with a 3-prong AC cord are connected together with au-
dio cables. The electrical difference between the AC ground (at the AC plug) and the signal ground (audio cords) is am-
plified. This may result in increased hum levels and in some cases high-pitched squeals or oscillation at high gain set-
tings of the amp. The solution is often to use the same outlet strip for all equipment rather than plugging into various
separate outlets. In extreme cases it may be necessary to isolate the AC grounds. If this is attempted, consult a qualified
technician to insure safety. Tube Works cannot recommend the disabling of any 3rd prong grounding plugs.
