Thank you for purchasing the AAD SUPER CUB Guitar Amplifier. A great deal of dedication and passion went into designing and building this no compromise, high performance compact-combo amplifier. It was conceived to be a dedicated amplifier for the “connoisseur” guitarist. Reading this manual will enable you to get the best performance from it so that you may enjoy many years of service. READ THIS FIRST • • Before using the SUPER CUB please read ALL the instructions.
OVERVIEW OF THE SUPER CUB The SUPER CUB is not your usual combo amp. On first appearance it may be mistaken for what it is because of its diminutive size. Don’t let this fool you, this is a very high performance amplifier designed to give the utmost fidelity for acoustic guitar or any other lead musical instrument where clean sound and absolute fidelity are paramount. AAD has pushed the envelope in creating what is the smallest serious guitar amplifier currently available.

18. ROTARY ENCODER FOR EFFECTS SELECTION 19. EFFECTS BLEND CONTROL 20. MASTER VOUME CONTROL This is the master volume control and it controls how much power you send to your speakers as well as the line out socket on the back of the amp. When setting up your tone or plugging in your instrument, you should keep this control at a low level. All instruments are different when it comes to how much output is from the pickups. Likewise for players, depending on how hard or soft you play.
USING THE SUPER CUB The Super Cub AG-300 is unlike any other guitar amplifier. Its unique six speaker system creates a 3 dimensional sound field atypical of guitar amplifiers: 4 speakers facing forward and two facing up to work as a monitor. The result is that you and fellow players will hear exactly the same sound as the audience.
