Familiarize yourself with the Gain structures of theCLEAN, EDGE, and SOLO settings. You will easily find many sweet spots, both pure and hybrid tones.

Do not use the unit in excessively moist environments.2. Although not required, it is recommended to leave 1 rack space above the unit to allow for proper ventilationand to elongate the life of the tubes.3. This unit is equipped with a grounding plug as a safety feature. Please do not remove the ground on the unit. Ifyou are experiencing noise in the signal, try lifting the ground on the signal source.4. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT without making sure that a speaker (load) is connected to it. If you have a TGA-2.1 COMBO amp, the speaker(s)will come connected, but it is a good idea to check anyway. A tube amp canburn out its output transformer (an expensive repair) if operated without being connected to a speaker.5. If you want to use your favorite 4x12cab, make sure you match your speakers’ IMPEDANCE (see appendix)to the speaker jack on the BACK PANEL of the TGA-2.1. There are 3 speaker output jacks, 4,8, and 16OHMS6. If this is the first time it is powered up, don’t plug in your instrument yet. This is a LOUD amp, so check yourFRONT PANEL controls and zero out your gains and master volume first.Package Contents:This package should contain-• TGA 2.1 Guitar Amplifier• FS-2 Footswitch• IEC Power CableWarranty:The TGA 2.1 Guitar Amplifier is covered for 1 year parts and labor.
