manual abstract
A great deal of dedication and passion went into designing and building this no compromise, high performance compact-combo amplifier. It was conceived to be a dedicated amplifier for the “connoisseur” guitarist. Reading this manual will enable you to get the best performance from it so that you may enjoy many years of service. READ THIS FIRST • Before using the CUB please read ALL the instructions. • On receipt of product, check for any signs of physical damage arising from shipping. If any damage is visible contact your dealer. • Keep all original packing. • Never use this product in the vicinity of water. If the CUB were to get wet, it could kill you by electrocution. • Do not use this amplifier in a way that would compromise its ventilation system. When operating, never cover the heatsink on rear panel. • Do not locate this amplifier near any heat source. • This amplifier must be connected only to a power source specified in this manual. • For safety do not leave the amplifier plugged into a power source for long periods of time when not in use. • Do not let any liquid or foreign objects fall into any openings on the amplifier. • Never use this amplifier if it has: 1. Suffered any physical damage. 2. Been subjected to any liquids, rain or moisture. 3. Damaged cables connected to it. If any of the above occurs, the amplifier should be examined by qualified service personnel. • Always operate this amplifier with the correctly rated fuse. • Never use this amplifier without proper grounding. 2 OVERVIEW OF THE CUB The CUB is not your usual combo amp. On first appearance it may be mistaken for what it is because of its diminutive size. Don’t let this fool you, this is a very high performance amplifier designed to give the utmost fidelity for acoustic guitar or any other lead musical instrument where clean sound and absolute fidelity are paramount. AAD has pushed the envelope in creating what is the smallest serious guitar amplifier currently available. Rather than cram it with gimmicky features to enhance marketing, we decided to go all out on making the best small amplifier money can buy. Nothing this small, with this performance has ever been created before. To the working musician this amplifier will not only give sound quality beyond expectations but in practical terms of transportation and storage; this amplifier will be invaluable. FEATURES • Switchable high impedance/high gain input OR low impedance/low gain stage. • 3 Band EQ designated for guitar. • FX Send Return sockets. • Tuner out. • Pre-amp Output. • Balanced Line Output with ground lift. • Smart power sensing that allows amplifier to work on any AC voltage worldwide. Just plug in, no switching required. • Sophisticated amplifier protection circuitry • Special “Soft-Clipping” 100watt Amplifier • Ultra low noise pre amplifier circuit. 3 PANEL OVERVIEW I O AC~INPUT LINE OUT TUNER LIFT GROUND CUB - GUITAR AMPLIFIER 110 WATTS/4 OHMS SERIAL#: N00001 American Acoustic Development LLC 100 - 240V~ 50 / 60Hz Fuse: T2.5AL 250V OFF ON POWER DI OUT TREBLE 0 0 0 -15dB +15dB -15dB +15dB -15dB +15dB BASS MID INPUT LEVEL 0 dB -10 dB FX RETURN SEND 4 PANEL DESCRIPTION 1.

This can also be used as an additional line out if necessary. 8. FX Return Connect the FX Return to auxiliary FX unit output. 9. Line Out These are used for driving a second amplifier. 10. Tuner Out Connect to instrument tuner. This output can also be used as an additional line out. 11.XLR Balanced Line Out. This is an ultra-low impedance (200ohm) balanced line out for use with recording or PA mixing consoles. 12. Ground lift Switch When there is a difference in grounding between audio equipment, it can cause what is known as a ground loop. This will cause an audible hum or buzz through the speakers or main PA speakers. Using this switch will break the ground loop and therefore eliminate any hum. 13. AC Power On/Off Switch. 14. AC Power input and AC fuse holder. Connects the amplifier to AC power supply. Always use a grounded plug and make sure 5 the AC cable is more than 3A rating at 250-volt AC. If you require a longer AC power cord, we recommend you use the AAD heavy-duty 20 foot power cords. These are available as an accessory. Use a slow blow . inch fuse rated at 2.5 amps. OPERATION & POSITIONING TURN THE VOLUME DOWN on the CUB before plugging in your instrument. Positioning the CUB for Best Sound It is recommended that you place the cub on a solid object or dedicated stand for best sound and projection. Do not place on a high microphone stand as it will be unstable and easily topple over. TRANSPORTING AND STORING THE CUB When transporting ...
