Many months of intensive research and development have gone into making this one of the best performing and most reliable amplifiers ever offered at any price. The Deuce II is powered by four 6L6GC power tubes — 110 watts RMS @ 5% THD. All power circuits are push-pull for more consistent and dependable performance. The Classic features 2 channels (bright and normal) with 4 inputs and a complete brace of controls including bass and treble controls middle control, master volume control, reverb and tremolo controls. The Deuce II is truly a professional's amplifier at a beginner's price. NOTE: The Festival Amplifier is a "head only" Version of the Deuce II. 1,2 Two sets of inputs are provided for tonal preference. They are labeled "Bright" #1 & #2, and "Normal" #1 & #2. The bright input? provide more treble response for a 'Brighter' sound from your instrument. The normal channel provides a more normal response with no automatic treble or bass boost. In most cases, when plugging in your instrument, you should use either Bright or Normal input jack #1. Input #2 is the low gain input and should be used if the signal from your instrument tends to overload (distort) input #1. When two instruments are plugged into jacks 1 and 2, the circuit automatically balances the gain of the two inputs so that the sensitivity of both are identical. 3,4 Both the bright and normal channels have separate volume controls. These volume controls set the gain of the input preamp, thereby controlling the sensitivity of the preamp, not the POWER of the amp. It is entirely possible for the amp to be driven to full power output on very low volume settings if the signal from your instrument is extremely high. Please remember that the volume control does not indicate power output, but the Gain of the preamp. 5 The bass control varies the amount of bass response in the system and is very effective in achieving a balanced tonal blend. 6 The middle control enables the musician to tailor the vital mid-range response. Experimentation with the unique middle circuit will show that it is much more effective than conventional circuits. 7 The treble control varies the high end response of the amplifier. 8 The reverb control determines the amount of detayed signal (reverb) blended into the output. This circuit is able to produce tremendous sustain and clarity by properly damping the driver coils of the reverb unit. The reverb is effective in BOTH channels. 9 The depth control is used to vary the amount of amplitude modulation (tremolo) of the output signal. The operation of this control is conventional and should present no problem in adjusting for the desired effect. 10 The rate control determines the speed with which the signal is modulated. This control varies the speed of the tremolo master oscillator and should provide any speed desired for modern music. The reverb and tremolo features are controllable from a remote footswitch. 11 The master volume control is very useful for obtaining a number of effects. The most common use of this control is for obtaining overdrive and sustain at low sound levels. Another valuable use for this control is for controlling the response and noise of the amp in a recording studio. The master volume control is the final gain determining element before the signal is fed into the output amplifier and could more accurately be called a "sensitivity" control. To obtain maximum overdrive and sustain, the individual channel volume controls should be set near maximum, and the output of the system should be adjusted with the master volume control. You will discover that many different and pleasing harmonic effects can be obtained by trying different settings of the tone, volume, and master volume controls. It has been found that when operating the amp in the overdriven condition, lower settings of the treble control tend to give a smoother "natural distortion characteristic". The normal background noise (hiss, hum, etc.) can be very effectively controlled for recording studio applications by use of the master volume control. To reduce these noises, reduce the setting of the master volume control. 12 The pilot light indftates when the electrical supply (mains) is supplying povver to the amplifier. 13 The fuse is located within the cap of the fuse holder and should be replaced with one of the proper value if it should fail. It is necessary that the proper value fuse be used to avoid damage to the equipment and to avoid voiding the warranty. If your amplifier repeatedly blows fuses, the" unit should be taken to a qualified service center for repair. 14 The line power switch is of the three position type with the center position being off. The three position switch has tw...
