Power Limit; Effect Loop Operation - Brunetti SINGLEMAN Owner's Manual

SINGLEMAN is available on two settings: 16W and 35W.
The differences concern the tubes used, and the functioning class on the final stage: class A on the 16W
version and class AB on the 35W. The PowerLimit® control is included.
PowerLimit® is a brand new system of tubes-supplied power reduction on the final stage of the amp. It operates
through a changing of the tubes' internal configuration passing from tetrode (FULL) to triode (MODERATE)
decreasing power up to 1/4 of the maximum value, from push-pull to single ended (QUIET) gaining a power
level up to 1/16 of the maximum value.
This system is equipped with some interesting clever devices, and it does not limit power despersing the excess
through dummy loads or similar, but it forces tubes to give the best at low power and covering the frequency
response, if necessary, according to the hearing of the guitarist/executor. So, it is a "shaping" method studied
by Marco Brunetti to reduce the amp general sound pressure, but preserving the timbre qualities. There are
several advantages: from the possibility to play in different conditions simply adapting the output volume of the
amp without an intervention on the equalization, to the full exploitment of the final power stage, overdriving it if
necessary and reaching many different sound shades.
On the effect section of the rear panel you can find SEND, RETURN, and the LOOP ON switch to activate
the loop. This is a manual switch only.
SEND is the output to send signals to the effect input. It has been conceived for pedal effects or rack unit
effects. Its level fits all systems on sale.
RETURN is the input connection taking back the signal processed by the output of the effect to the final
section of the amp.
For all connections in the LOOP section, use only very short shielded cables of high quality. Whatever effect
will modify the original timbre of the amplifier depending on the quality of the system you employ.
Connect only modulation or ambient effects to the loop, like chorus, flanger, delay, reverb, etc. to obtain the
best sound performance. Modulation (and/or ambient) pedals are normally equipped with a Level or Mix
control, to be adjusted according to how much effect you want to add.
