TRACE ELLIOT Velocette twin Mode D'emploi page 5

When a jack is inserted into each socket the corresponding internal speaker is
disconnected, either or both can be used at once.
However, always ensure that the amplifier is correctly loaded when in use and never plug
both power sections into the same speaker cabinet unless it is a stereo cabinet and you
are sure that the speakers are separately addressed.
Probably the most popular way to use these outputs is to sit the unit on top of a stereo
4 x 12 cabinet, such as our GSC412, set the switch on the Velocette Twin to 8Ω, the
cabinet to 8Ω STEREO and connect the two speaker outputs to the two cabinet inputs for
a big stereo sound.
Alternatively if you really want to create an impression set the Velocette Twin to 16Ω and
get TWO 4 x 12's, set to 16Ω MONO, to plug into. With the cabinets spaced apart a
reasonable distance the sound is huge! Especially considering that the cabs are being
driven by two fifteen watt amps. Adding a stereo chorus or delay to the effects loop at
this stage is quite simply more than a poor boy can take!
Power Switch (Off/Standby/On)
As the name implies, this switches the amplifier from OFF to STANDBY mode, where only
the valve heaters are on, to ON for actual use. This should be used correctly every time
the unit is used to prevent problems with valves and to increase their life.
Before mains is applied to the unit, check that is the correct voltage and make sure the
POWER switch is in the OFF position. Connect power lead to mains outlet then switch to
STANDBY and wait about a minute before switching to ON. This ensures that the valves
have time to warm up before large voltages are applied to the plates. During short breaks
the amplifier can be switched to standby and will therefore be ready to play when next
needed.
After switching off it is recommended, as with all valve amplifiers, that it does not receive
any sudden physical shocks while the valves are still hot, i.e through moving the unit. If
possible try to give the amplifier a few minutes to cool down before transporting it.
IEC Socket/Mains Fuse
The IEC socket is for connection to universally used IEC mains leads to connect to
appropriate domestic mains supply.
In the event of having to replace the mains fuse always use the same rating and type as
marked on the unit's rear panel. Using one of higher rating will invalidate the guarantee.
If after replacement the mains fuse should blow a second time, immediately refer the unit
to a TRACE ELLIOT approved service engineer for checking.
