REAR PANEL, LEFT TO RIGHT
1. AC MAINS INPUT – Connect to a grounded outlet.
Use only the factory supplied cord set or a UL approved equivalent type.
2. MAINS – This holds the mains fuse, which protects the amplifier from electrical faults. Replace only with
a 4 AMP SLO BLO fuse.
3. B+ - This holds the B+ fuse, which protects the power supply and output transformer from electrical
faults. Replace only with a 1 AMP FAST BLO fuse.
4. FOOTSWITCH OUTPUTS – This is where the footswitch connects to your amplifier. Your amplifier came
with a special cable that has an XLR connector on one end that connects to the footswitch and 3 ¼”
phone plugs on the other end. The phone plugs are labeled and colored. When you wish to use the
footswitch, connect the phone plug with the RED jacket section to the SOLO FOOTSWITCH OUTPUT
jack, the phone plug with BLUE jacket section to the LOOP FOOTSWITCH OUTPUT jack and the phone
plug with the GREEN jacket section to the CHANNEL SELECT FOOTSWITCH OUTPUT jack. PLEASE
NOTE – When the footswitch is connected properly, the LOOP, CHANNEL SELECT, and SOLO
switches on the front panel are rendered non-operational and the footswitch controls those switching
features.
5. IMPEDANCE SELECT - 4, 8 or 16 ohms. Example: Two 8 Ohm cabs = 4 Ohms, two 16 Ohm cabs = 8
Ohms.
6. SPEAKER OUTPUT – Connect these output jacks to your speaker cabinets. Make sure the
IMPEDANCE SELECT switch is set correctly for the cabinet(s) you are connecting.
7. LINE OUT – There is an OUTPUT jack and LEVEL control for this line level output. You can use the
LINE OUT to send a line level signal to your effects for Wet/Dry or Wet/Dry/Wet setups. PLEASE NOTE
– The LINE OUT does not provide a speaker load for you amp. You must always have a speaker cabinet
connected when operating your amp and your IMPEDANCE SELECT switch set appropriately.
When you take the amp off STANDBY, make sure you have a speaker cabinet or other load
connected. Failure to do so could damage the output transformer and the power tubes, as well as
void your warranty! Only use a cable made for speakers - instrument and line level cables cannot be
used! The Cherry Bomb two switchable impedance speaker outputs. Make sure you set the
IMPEDANCE SELECT switch on the amplifier so it matches the cabinet you are using – “16” if your
cabinet is 16 ohm, “8” if your cab is 8 ohm or “4” if you cab is 4 ohm. Remember if you hook up two
speaker cabinets, they must have the same impedance - both 16 ohm or both 8 ohm. Set the
IMPEDANCE SELECT switch to “8” if you use two 16 ohm cabinets or set it to “4” if two 8 ohm
cabinets are used. Two cabinets connected halves the total impedance of a single cab!
8. OVERALL MASTER – This master volume controls the overall output volume of the amplifier. This
master volume is a post-phase inverter master volume design (PPIMV). We feel that this design
provides the best tones you can get for lower volume playing. You’ll get great sounding tones with this
