A. Manual Conventions
In this manual, words that appear in italics represent actual physical controls on
the Tone Hammer® 350.
B.
Basic Setup
Input Voltage: 100-120/200-240 ~VAC
50/60 Hz
Mains Fuse: Internal T 5A/250V
Maximum power consumption: 450W
Select the proper voltage for your country's operating voltage via the Input
Voltage switch on the back of the amplifier. Select 115V for 100-120V or 230V for
220, 230 or 240V.
Connect your speaker cabinet(s) to the amplifier's speaker output using a cable
with Speakon to Speakon connections, or Speakon to ¼" connections with an
insulated barrel. Use 12-gauge or larger speaker cable for proper connections.
The amount of power this amplifier will produce varies with the impedance rating
of your cabinets.
One 8 ohm cabinet – 175 watts
Two 8 ohm cabinets – 350 watts
One 4 ohm cabinet – 350 watts
Connect the amplifier to the AC power outlet using provided power cord.
Plug in your instrument.
With the Master volume and Drive down, turn on your amplifier. Adjust as follows:
Preamp:
1. Turn the Gain up while playing.
2. If you have a particularly high output instrument it may be necessary to push
the –10dB button in to prevent clipping of the input buffer. This button is
located above the Input jack and when pushed in it lowers your input signal
level by 10dB.
3. Turn up the Master control until you reach the volume you need.

C. Protection Features
The Tone Hammer 350 is equipped with several protection circuits designed to
prevent any damage to the amplifier in cases where the limits of the normal operating
range are breached. Protections include an over current, an over temperature, DC, and
HF detectors. If any of these circuits are triggered, the amplifier will either limit its
output power, or shut down. In case of a shut down the amplifier will rapidly try to
restart, checking if the faulty condition is still present.
In case of shut down, both Operate and Status lights will turn off.
III. Features & Functions
A. Front Panel Features
Input Pad:
-10dB
Preamp Section:
Treble: +/- 14dB @ 4 kHz
Mid Level: +/- 16dB
Mid Frequency: 180Hz – 1 kHz
Bass: +/- 17dB @ 40Hz
The Drive control changes the gain structure and EQ interactively with the Gain
control position. By modifying the circuit structure, Drive gives a "vintage voiced" EQ
and gain structure that adapts to how you set the Gain control. The lower the Gain
control setting, the "flatter" the EQ applied. The higher you set the Gain control, the
more saturated the gain structure becomes, and the more the bass is tightened and
the treble smoothed.
The Drive circuitry surrounds the midrange controls, enabling you to get a huge variety
of tonal characteristics by simply adjusting the Gain, Mid Level and Mid Freq controls.
When the Clip light turns red it indicates that the preamp is being driven into clipping.
Clipping can be a desirable characteristic, depending on your taste. If you would like a
cleaner sound you can experiment with the input pad, Gain, Drive, and Tone Controls.
All of these things, including the output level of your bass, affect how often the light
will go off. Clipping the Tone Hammer 350 will not cause any shutdowns or damage to
your amplifier.
