DANGER
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals
vary considerably to noise-induced hearing loss but most will lose some hearing if
exposed to intense noise for a sufficient period of time.
The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
specified the following permissible noise level exposures:
According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could result in some
hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn
when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing
loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as put forth above, to insure against potentially
harmful exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons
exposed to equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this
amplification system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

DANGER
L’exposition a des niveaux eleves de bruit peut provoquer une perte permanente
de l’audition, Chaque organisme humain reagit differemment quant a la perte de
l’audition, mais quasiment tout le monde subit une diminution de l’acuite auditive
lors d’une exposition suffisamment longue au bruit intense. Les autorites competentes
en reglementation de bruit ont defini les expositions tolerees aux niveaux de bruits:
Selon les autorites, toute exposition dans les limites citees ci-dessus, peuvent provoquer
certaines pertes d’audition. Des bouchons ou protections dans l’appareil auditif ou
sur l’oreille doivent etre portes lors de l’utilisation de ce systeme d’amplification afin
de prevenir le risque de perte permanente de l’audition, Dans le cas d’expositions
superieures aux limites precitees il est recommande, afin de se premunir contre les
expositions aux pressions acoustiques elevees potentiellement dangeureuses, aux
personnes exposees aux equipements capables de delivrer de telles puissances, tels ce
systeme d’amplification en fonctionnement, de proteger l’appareil auditif.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR NEW AMPLIFIER
LOCATION
To avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage, do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, high temperature sources, or
excessive humidity.
POWER SUPPLY
• Turn the power switch off when the A20 is not in use.
• The AC cable should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the A20 will not be used for an extended period of time.
Avoid plugging the AC cable into an AC outlet that is also powering high consumption appliances such as electric heaters or televisions.
Avoid using multi-plug adapters since these can reduce sound quality, cause operation errors, and result in possible damage.
• To avoid damage, turn off the A20 power switch and all related devices prior to connecting or disconnecting cables.
HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
• Never apply excessive force to any parts.
• Unplug cables by gripping plugs rmly. Do not pull on cables.
• Physical shocks caused by dropping or bumping can result in serious damage.
CLEANING
• Clean with a dry, soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
The A20 contains electronic circuitry that may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs,
move the A20 further away from the affected equipment.
SERVICE AND MODIFICATION
• There are no user serviceable parts in the A20.
• Do not attempt to open the A20 or make any change to circuits or parts. This will void the warranty.

FRONT PANEL
1. INPUTS – combination ¼” (2 conductor instrument cable) or XLR (3-4 conductor microphone)
2. VOLUME CONTROLS - these adjust the overall loudness of the corresponding input. If your acoustic instrument has a preamp, you
should set the Volume control on your instrument at about half volume. You can then adjust the amplier volume to your normal
playing level and still have room to increase or decrease your volume as needed from the instrument.
3. EQUALIZATION
A. LOW FREQUENCY - set to boost (15 dB) or cut (-15 dB) frequencies at 100Hz. Controls the lowest fundamental frequencies to enhance
the warmth and deep, full tones of your acoustic instrument or vocals.
B. MIDRANGE FREQUENCY - set to boost (15 dB) or cut (-15 dB) frequencies at 800Hz. Allows you to control the denition and voice of
your acoustic instrument or vocals.
c. HIGH FREQUENCY - set to boost (15 dB) or cut (-15 dB) frequencies at 7kHz. Increasing this will enhance the clarity and brightness of
your acoustic instrument or vocals.
4. FEEDBACK ELIMINATION
a. FEEDBACK ELIMINATION LEVEL – this adjusts the amount of feedback ltering. Be sure to set this control to “off” if you are not
experiencing any feedback issues.
b. FEEDBACK ELIMINATION FREQUENCY – this adjusts the frequency of the feedback ltering.
To control Feedback, do the following:
1. Set the Level control to “12 o’clock” setting or higher
2. Turn the Frequency knob, moving from left-to-right, to search for the frequency at which the feedback is to be suppressed.
A. If in the lower register, start at “0” position
B. Sweep to the right if the frequency is in the higher register
C. When the feedback is eliminated, reduce the Level control until the feedback returns, then adjust slightly
upward until it is gone

5. CHORUS
a. Chorus On / Off switch – this creates a shimmering, musical tonal effect.
b. Chorus Rate control - this will speed up the rate of the Chorus effect.
6. REVERB
a. Reverb On /Off switch – this simulates the natural ambience of reective soundwaves.
b. Reverb Level control – increasing the level control will intensify the amount of reverb present in your signal.
7. AUX IN – this 1/8” 3-conductor Aux input jack will allow you to plug in a CD, MP3 player or any other stereo source so you can play
along. To control the volume of this input, adjust the output volume of the device.
8. HEADPHONE - this 1/8” 3-conductor jack is for plugging in headphones. When used, it will disconnect the internal speaker.
9. POWER – this rocker switch will illuminate with a soft amber color when the amp is turned on and ready to play.
REAR PANEL
1. POWEr
A. AC LINE IN – this plug accept a standard CLASS 1 IEC grounded cable (included) to provide AC power to the amplier.
B. VOLTAGE SELECTORused to select the input voltage level to 110/115V or 220/230V. Voltage standards vary by country.
This switch is preset at the factory. Setting the power supply voltage switch to the incorrect input voltage could damage
the power supply and possibly other parts of your equipment.
2. DIRECT OUTPUT
a. PRE/POST EQ Switch – this switch determines if your direct output signal will be effected by the front panel equalization
settings. In the PRE setting, the direct signal is not effected by the front panel settings; in POST setting, the direct signal
is effected by the EQ settings.
b. DIRECT OUTPUT LEVEL – this adjusts the overall level of the direct output.
c. DIRECT OUTPUT – connect a standard XLR balanced cable from this jack to provide a line-level signal to your PA system,
powered speaker, or other powered output device.
d. GROUND LIFT – this switch disconnects pin 1 on the XLR jack, which is connected to the shield in the cable and acts as
the ground point of the circuit, reducing ground-related noise.
3. EFFECTS LOOP – these ¼” unbalanced send and returns allow you to run external effects between the preamp and the
power amp, resulting in clearer effects signal, and cleaner levels (line level vs. instrument level). Connect the Send to
your effect devices input, and the output from your device to the Return.
