The TubeMeister Deluxe 40 features three channels, each with dedicated
Gain and Master controls. Think of Gain and Master as the yin and yang of
sound-shaping for all three channels. The best way to probe the channels'
many sonic possibilities is to experiment. We recommend that you set the
Power Soak to five-watt mode and all knobs to the 12 o'clock position, then
adjust the Gain/Master settings at will to get a taste of the very different
flavors of preamp and power tube distortion. The further you back off the
Master knob, the drier the amp's sound. The further you turn the knob
up, the juicier the power tube distortion. All of the TubeMeister Deluxe
40's channels are very responsive to the input signal. You can conjure
a remarkably diverse range of sounds simply by varying your choice of
pickup and adjusting the guitar's volume knob.
Note: Be advised that you cannot mute the TubeMeister Deluxe 40 by
turning the Master knob all the way down (to the far left position). If you
wish to play at very soft levels, we recommend that you attenuate the
amp's overall output by selecting five-watt or one watt mode (see Power
Soak) rather than backing the Master volume way down.
To avoid very loud and unwelcome surprises, make a habit of backing the
Volume knob of the guitar connected to the TubeMeister Deluxe 40 all the
way down before switching on the amp.

1.1 Front Panel

Power/On: Set this switch to On to get the mains power flowing. The amp
lights up and the tubes will begin to heat up.
Play/Standby Switch: Give the tubes about 30 seconds to get toasty; then
you can flip the Standby switch to Play. The amp is now ready to operate.
When taking a short break from playing, please use the Standby switch so
the tubes remain at operating temperature. This protects them and ensures
they last longer.
Input: Connect your guitar to this input using a shielded cord equipped
with 6.3 mm (1/4") jack plug.
Clean Channel
Clean Button: Use it to activate the Clean channel. It lights up blue when
you do.
Clean Gain: The Gain knob determines the Clean channel's input
sensitivity.
Clean Master: This knob adjusts the Clean channel's volume without
affecting the other channels' levels.
Bass, Mid, Treble: This passive 3-band voicing section controls the Clean
channel's low, midrange and high frequencies.
Heads Up: These are classic passive tone controls that influence one
another. For example, if you crank the Mid knob, the Bass knob will be
