QUICK START:
This section is for people who are either too excited or too impatient to read the whole manual before using their new
Trace Elliot. Please at least read this first section thoroughly and return to the rest of the manual later, lest you don't get
the full potential out of your new amplifier.
(1) Once you unpack your Trace Elliot, plug the power cord into the socket on the rear panel and connect to a mains
socket supplying the proper AC line voltage for your unit. This is located on the rear of the unit, near the mains inlet
and power switch.
(2) If your unit is an amplifier head (e.g. AH600-7, AH1200-12, etc.) then connect the speaker output to your speaker
cabinet(s). (More information on this is provided in the Owner's Guide for the cabinet).
(3) Turn the OUTPUT LEVEL control to the "0" position.
(4) Connect the footcontroller (included) to the EXTERNAL CONTROL socket on the rear panel using the eight-pin
DIN cable (included).
(5) Plug your instrument into the INPUT on the front panel using a high quality shielded instrument cable and turn the
INPUT GAIN control to the "0" position.
(6) Flip the power switch on the rear to the "ON" position to turn the unit on.
(7) Set your instrument to your normal settings and while striking a string hard turn up the INPUT GAIN gradually.
While doing this observe the level indication LEDs above the control. When the red LED starts to be lit, turn the INPUT
GAIN control back one or two clicks so that it only lights up very occasionally.
(8) Now gradually turn up the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Do this slowly to avoid any sudden level changes that could
damage your hearing; these are loud amps! Set this at the desired playing volume.
(9) You will notice that the unit will have defaulted to a setting of everything off except the PRE SHAPE circuit. This
is so that whenever the unit is turned on it will power up with a good basic tone.
(10) Make music! Feel free to turn on and off the other features on the unit, either by the footcontroller or the front
panel, and make adjustments to the other controls to get an idea of the flexibility of the unit. While making adjustments
keep an eye on the level indication LEDs; some extreme settings of the Graphic Equalizer will increase the signal level
into clip, if this happens simply re-adjust the INPUT GAIN control as mentioned above
