Operating Instructions
Your MAVERICK amplifier was designed to deliver maximum performance in a format based on simplicity. Its easy to dial nature
allows each of the two channels to deliver a wide range of sounds in both clean and overdrive styles. The MAVERICK uses four
EL84 power tubes running Pure Class A and a 5AR4 Rectifier tube to fuel its healthy thirty-five watt power section. We are pleased by
its surprising headroom, yet truly musical “clipability” when pushed. The MAVERICK’S pre-amp was no afterthought as you may
have deduced by the six 12AX7s tucked snugly away under the swing away tube clamp. Two separate sets of tubes are used to
accomplish the Rhythm and Lead channels. It’s really like having two separate amplifiers built into one chassis. Ultimate flexibility is
achieved by providing two complete sets of Tone and Master controls. Two different sounds can be switched between without compro-
mising tone or levels.
Looking to the Rear Panel assures that all your interfacing needs are covered. A parallel Effects Loop with a Mix control provides tone
insurance for even those questionable effects. To use the MAVERICK in larger rack systems, or to interface to other power sec-
tions, the Slave Jack and Level Control is a welcome feature. Three speaker jacks (one 8 ohm, and two 4 ohm) are provided to ensure
the proper impedance match to many types of speaker enclosures. The Reverb can also be footswitched in or out.
As you can see, the MAVERICK provides all the features any demanding pro could need and at the same time remains simple to
operate.
