TRUCTIONS Laney TUBE AMPLIFIER SURVIVAL TIPS Tube amplifiers generally sound much warmer sweeter than solid state transistor amplifiers but they also need a little more respect due to the fragile glass tubes themselves The TT uses top quality tubes six ECC83 preamp tubes and a matched set of four EL34B STR output tubes two EL34B STR s on TT50C which should give you years of trouble free service however like all tube amps it is important to treat it with a certain amount of respect Take care when moving the amplifier Tubes are fragile glass components they can easily be damaged if thrown and out of transit vans etc Make sure the impedance of your cabinets matches the setting on your amplifier Improper impedance matching will result in reduced output power output and compromised sound at best and amplifier failure premature tube failure at worst Allow the amplifier to warm up to room temperature before switching it on The sudden thermal shock generated can crack the cold glass tube housing plus any moisture is bad news around high voltage electronics Allow the amplifier to cool down after playing before moving Hot tubes are more suseptable to damage than cool ones Use good quality loudspeaker leads cheap leads are often not up to the job of handling the large requirements for loudspeakers and can often short out Tube amps don t like running into a short circuit A tubes life expectancy is based upon a num
