A word of caution before you operate your new amp:
It is loud. Exposure to high volume levels may cause
hearing damage. Always turn the MASTER VOLUME
knob on the front panel all the way down before
powering your amp up, and then turn it up gradually
to a level that suits the venue and is not harmful to
your ears. Always be judicious in the use of your
amplifier and its volume controls: Exercise great care
to prevent damaging your ears and the ears of the
people around you.

First plug the speaker cabinet cord into the appropriate
output on the head. To learn more about this, read
chapter 2.0 CONTROL CONNECTIONS AND FEATURES.
Plug the other end of the cord into the cabinet's input.
The life of every all-tube amp depends on you getting
this right! If you operate tubes without a connected load
such as a speaker cabinet or with the wrong ohm load,
they will die an ugly and painful death!
Now plug the head's AC power cord into an outlet and
switch the amp on by pressing the MAINS button. Give
the tubes some time to warm up before driving them
hard. If you get bored with the wait, gaze upon the
orange-red glow of the tubes and the red light emanating
from the amp's interior. That should put you in the right
mood for rude, red-hot riffing.
Check out the voltage rating displayed next to the
WARP X™'s MAINS INPUT and make sure it matches
your local mains current before you plug in. Make sure
plenty of air can circulate around your amp's ventilation
ducts. Place the amp on a sturdy, secure base and avoid
exposing it to mechanical shocks and extreme tempera-
tures that could endanger the device or your and others'
safety. The manufacturer disclaims any liability or
responsibility whatsoever for any damage or defect in
this and other devices resulting from misuse.
You like your WARP X™ now, but you'll learn to love
it later. And because love means never having to say
you're sorry, get into the habit of twisting the MASTER
VOLUME knob all the way to the left (counterclockwise)
when you've finished riffing. Otherwise, you may be in
for a loud surprise next time you power up.
So, you've set the MASTER knob to zero? Okay, then
let's get to it. Plug a cord into your guitar, then into the
amp. Flick the STANDBY switch to bring those glowing
tubes to life. Now you can select between different
channels...
