Thunder 50 Guitar-Amplifier Operator´s Manual Please, first read this manual carefully!
Thunder 50 - is an all-tube guitar amp, fully loaded with all key features. Next to its sonic qualities, the beauty of this amp is rooted in simplicity. With its uncluttered, sensibly arrayed control features, the Thunder comes complete with everything you need to dial in first-class sound. Handling couldn't be easier. With the Thunder, what you see is truly what you get-great looks, great sound.
TIP: To get an idea of this amp's capabilities, we suggest you set the tone control pots Bass (4), Middle (5) and Treble (6) to the 12 o'clock position. For extremely soft lead, blues or jazz sounds, try setting the Treble knob to somewhere in the 8-to-11 o'clock range. For aggressive metal riffs or spanky funk sounds, go for something in the range of 11 to 3 o'clock. 7 Crunch Volume (Combo model E322 and Head model E325) Volume control for the Crunch channel.

Handling and Care Protect the amp from mechanical knocks (tubes!). Let the amp cool down before you transport it (approx. 10 minutes). Tubes need about 20 seconds to warm up after you switch the power on, and furtheron a few minutes before they reach their full power capability. Avoid storing the amp in damp or dusty rooms, they are hard on jacks, switches and potentiometers. Make sure air can circulate at the rear and top of the amp to allow for adequate cooling (increases component life).
