1) AC POWER SWITCH: Turns the

main power on/off.

2) AC INLET & FUSE: Connect a

universal IEC type power cord. Be sure

the proper value fuse is installed that

matches the ratings for your country as

indicated on the rear panel.

3) AC VOLTAGE SELECTOR:

Makes the Rebel 30 compatible with

the line voltage in any country. Proper

setting of this switch is absolutely

critical. Be sure the switch position

matches the line voltage in your coun-

try. Severe damage will result from

improperly setting this switch and will

void your warranty, as well as destroy-

ing your amp.

4) 315mA FAST BLO FUSE: This

fuse is to protect the internal ampli-

caused by a shorted output tube. In case

of a power tube failure, this fuse will

blow and there will be no sound. If the

amp appears to be “lighting up” nor-

mally but there is not output, check this

fuse. If it is blown (open), this indicates

on or more output tubes has failed and

must be replaced.

Use the troubleshooting method be-

low to determine if a power tube has

shorted.

a) Turn the power off.

b) Set the TUBE MIX control to

c) Allow the power tubes to cool

and remove the two 6V6 tubes.

d) Install a new 315mA FAST

BLO fuse in the holder.

e) Place the STANDBY switch in

the standby (center) position

f) Move the STANDBY switch to

the PLAY position.

g) If the amp makes sound and

the tone is normal, this is a clue

that one of the 6V6 tubes is bad.

h) If the 315mA fuse blows, one

of the EL84 tubes is bad.

i) Next, turn the power OFF

again and allow the tubes to cool.

j) Remove the EL84 tubes and

reinstall the 6V6 tubes.

k) Turn the power back ON while

in the STANDBY mode.

l) Move the Standby switch to

the PLAY position.

NOTE: This is a useful trouble

shooting technique if you are on the job

and your amp dies. Once you determine

which pair of tubes is bad, you can

safely operate the amp with only the re-

maining good pair until you can get the

amp properly serviced. Obviously you

must at least carry extra 315mA fuses

in order to do this. Spare tubes would

also be a really good idea.

5) FOOTSWITCH: Plug the supplied

Rebel 30 pedal in here for remote con-

trol of the channel selection and reverb

on/off functions.

6) EXTENSION SPEAKER: Used for

connecting an external speaker along

with the internal combo speaker(s).

Since the MAIN speaker output is

labeled “USE FIRST”, you can as-

sume the EXTENSION speaker output

would be “use second”. See the chart

later in this manual for proper setting of

the IMPEDANCE switch when using

extension speakers.

speaker and try to play the amp. As

we all know, NEVER operate any tube

amp without a proper speaker load

connected! The exception would be

the Rebel 30 combo or head only when

used in the SILENT RECORD mode.

This would be the only instance where

it is OK to use the amp with no speaker

connected.

switch to match the impedance of the

speakers. The proper setting for the
