Whatever your gig - "unplugged" concert recitals, playing in an Irish pub, accompanying a chorus or larger ensemble - the MONTANA is in every respect the right rig for these applications and many more. Equipped with a 60-watt power amp and integral limiter, this amp offers plenty of headroom and delivers a punch powerful enough to make your music stand out and be heard in virtually every type of performance scenario. Sporting a 3-band voicing section featuring parametric mids, the MONTANA lets you fine-tune its tone to suit your taste and instrument. The auxiliary microphone channel gives you the option of patching vocals through the MONTANA without having to tote along an additional mini-PA. Loaded with a custom-designed speaker combination - a 12" Eminence that pumps out big bottom end and velvety mids and a tweeter that delivers crystal-clear treble and shimmering overtones - the MONTANA does a great job of covering the broad sound spectrum of voice and acoustic guitar. The variable on-board spring reverb gives your guitar the spatial depth it needs to sound its best. A serial insert lets you patch effects into the guitar channel; you can also process the amp's master signal by patching external effect devices into the parallel FX loop. Finally, the balanced XLR output lets you connect your amp to any PA to get your sound across to the audience no matter how large the venue. The MONTANA raises the stakes in the acoustic guitar amp game. Light, easy to transport, chock full of classy features, plenty of power and excellent sound- Montana offers you a combination of features unmatched by any amp of its class. WE WISH YOU MUCH SUCCESS WITH, AND ENJOYMENT OF, YOUR NEW MONTA N A . THINGS TO DO BEFORE OPERATING THE AMP • Check out the voltage rating displayed next to the amp's AC socket and make sure it matches your local AC power before you plug the MONTANA's power cord into an AC outlet. • Make sure plenty of air can circulate around the back of the amp chassis. Heat can kill electronic components! • Place the amp on a sturdy, secure base and avoid exposing it to mechanical shocks and extreme temperatures that could endanger the device or the safety of yourself or others. • The manufacturer is not liable for any damage to the amp due to improper operation. 1.0 THE CHANNELS OF THE MONTANA The MONTANA is equipped with one instrument channel and one microphone channel. The instrument channel features two inputs with different input sensitivity for acoustic guitars with and without preamplifiers. The 3-band voicing section and the serial effects insert influences the instrument channel only. The integrated reverb affects both channels, although the microphone channel is automatically assigned less reverb. The parallel effects loop influences both channels by an equal measure. HOME 2.0 CONNECTIONS AND CONTROL FEAT U R E S INSTRUMENT INPUT WARM: This instrument input has high input sensitivity. Connect acoustic guitars with low output levels- instruments without on-board preamplifiers-here. INSTRUMENT INPUT BRIGHT: This instrument input has low input sensitivity. Connect acoustic guitars with high output levels instruments with on-board preamplifiers - here. VOLUME: Controls the volume level of the instrument channel. If the signal is saturated (the guitar sounds distorted), your instrument has too high an output level and must be plugged into INSTRUMENT INPUT BRIGHT. If the signal is much too soft, your instrument's output level is too low. Plug the guitar into the WARM input. CONTOUR: This knob shapes the basic tonal characteristics of the guitar's sound. This feature offers a wide range of subtle tonal variations-from soft, creamy tone heavy on the mids to crystal-clear sound with punchy bottom end and sparkling highs. SERIAL FX LOOP: Serial insert to the instrument channel. It is designed to take external effects devices. In the signal chain, it is located pre-voicing section, which means that the tone controls influence the sound of the effects signal. SEND: Connect this jack to the input jack of your effects device. -10 dB Switch: This damping switch lowers the level of the instrument signal. Press this button when you're using devices designed to take instrument input levels, as is the case with most stomp boxes. RETURN: Connect this jack to the output of your effects device. BASS: Controls the level of bass frequencies in the instrument signal. MID FREQ: Use this knob to select the mid-range frequencies that you want to affect (boost or cut). MID LEVEL: Determines to which extent the mid-range frequencies that you selected are cut or boosted. TREBLE: This control adjusts the high frequencies of the instrument signal. MIC VOLUME: Determines the input volume of the microphone channel. REVERB: Controls the intensity of the on-board reverb effect. The reverb level is automatically adjusted so that the instrument signal gets more reverb than the microphone signal. FX-MIX: Adjusts the amount of effect signal to ...
