User manual FENDER KINGMAN

[. . . ] In addition to convenience features like All Front Panel Mounted Controls, the STAGE I 12SE features a detachable footswitch for selecting the DRIVE Channel and REVERB. Standard 1/4 inch phone jacks are used for ease of connection or extension of the footswitch to remote pedal boards. The PREAMP OUT & POWER AMP IN jacks can be used as an effects loop or as Send and Return points while slaving multiple amps together or for direct connection to recording and sound reinforcement mixers. [. . . ] Last, but definitely not least, the Fender STAGE I 12SE packs a new power amp that is based on a radically underdamped design that interacts with the speaker in much the same way as a tube amplifier does, producing sparkle and punch with an increase in apparent loudness and power that defies comparison to other similarly rated units. Also included is a sophisticated, transparent protection scheme designed to completely prevent amplifier failure due to bad speaker cords or incorrectly connected speaker jacks. The selection of a Fender amplifier will reward you with years of quality music in a wide range of controlled sounds. This manual is designed to familiarize you with the equipment and to acquaint you with its many fine features. Read it carefully so that you will benefit from all the features as soon as you start using the amplifier. The built-in quality of a Fender amplifier is the result of over three-and-a-half decades of dedication in the combined skills of research and development by our engineers and musicians. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE AMPLIFIER TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. STAGE 112SE FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS A. INPUT 1 -A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in connection for instruments. FOOTSWITCH - Plug-in connection for a remote footswitch to switch between the NORMAL and DRIVE channels and to turn the REVERB on and off. NOTE: Any good quality patch cord will work with the remote footswitch; however, a speaker grade cord is preferable to a coax guitar cord when it's available. PREAMP OUT - This jack provides an unbalanced output signal from the preamp. This jack can be used with the POWER AMP IN jack (item S) as a patch point for effects. This is useful when using effects, or when the STAGE 112SE is used as a slave amplifier. LINE OUT - This jack provides an output signal taken directly off the amplifier output and speaker. Using a stereo cord in this jack will provide a quasi-balanced signal. When the switch is in the off position, the amplifier is completely shut down. STAGE 112SE REAR PANEL FEATURES EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK The STAGE I 12SE features a plug in connection for external speakers (8 ohm minimum). LINE CORD This Amplifier is equipped with a grounding type supply cord to reduce the possibility of shock hazard caused by leakage current. DO NOT ALTER THE AC PLUG. VINYL CARE The exclusive Fender vinyl covering your cabinet has been especially designed for years of lasting beauty. [. . . ] A very light, soapy solution on a sponge may be used to remove dirt and residue that may accumulate in the grain. Be careful not to let any liquid come in contact with operating surfaces.
