O P E R A T I N G INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Gibson Super Goldtone valve guitar amplifier. Please take a few minutes to read this owners manual so you may fully understand the extensive capabilities of this unit. With a little care your new amplifier should provide you with years of satisfactory service. The Super Goldtone range currently consists of the following products: GA-30RV GA-60RV GA-30RVH SGT Cabinet 30 watt Class A 1x10 + 1x12 combo 60 watt Class A/B 2x12 combo 30 watt Class A head 2x10 + 2x12 Mono/Stereo speaker cabinet

The main preamp functions on all models are more or less the same, with different valve power stages and/or speaker configurations used in each particular unit. All features and differences between models are described further on. The circuit topology has been based on traditional guitar amplifier designs, with new ideas incorporated where beneficial. The complete signal path; preamp, effects loop, reverb and power stage, on all models is 100% valve. The switching circuitry for the different functions is all based around momentary switches controlling CMOS logic devices which then switch relays or FETs within the audio circuitry. This provides very low switching noise, excellent sonic performance and the ability to switch all the functions from multiple sources. All Power and Output transformers and Chokes are custom made for maximum performance using high grade laminations. Windings are resin soaked and made to pass international approvals. A highly regulated DC supply is used for heater filaments in all preamp valves for minimal hum levels. Where appropriate an external biasing facility is featured - this enables techs to check/reset output bias at any time without removing the chassis. This also enables the use of several different valve types including EL34, 6L6, 6550 and KT88. Internal wiring and glass epoxy circuit board layouts use multiple return, star earthing, for low noise and hum. All audio sections have been laid out for maximum sonic performance using point to point wiring principles. Porcelain valve sockets and gold plated jack sockets are used exclusively throughout.

FAST TRACK GUIDE AND SWITCH ON SEQUENCE 1. Check that the POWER switch on the rear panel is set to OFF and that the unit has the correct speaker load connected. 2. Connect the unit to an appropriate mains power point with the mains lead provided. We also recommend that the MASTER volume is turned down to zero before switch on or switch off purely to prevent any unwanted noises from being amplified loudly. Switch POWER switch to the STANDBY position. 3. While the unit is warming up (allow at least one minute), connect your instrument to the INPUT socket on the front panel and connect any effects units that may be used. 4. Switch POWER switch from STANDBY to ON. 5. Set all front panel controls to half way as a starting point and then adjust to taste. 6. After use, switch to STANDBY and then OFF. FULL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FRONT PANEL

Preamp features and controls The preamp section is 100% valve and consists of two parallel preamp channels and a BOOST function that can be used on either channel. This allows FOUR different sounds to be selected from either the front panel or 2-way footswitch. Using the optional 5-way foot controller allows both channels to be used at once with BOOST on or off giving a total of SIX available preamp sounds. A regulated DC supply is used throughout the preamp for the cathode heaters, this massively reduces any hum picked up within the preamp to extremely low levels, even when set for high gain. When first switched on the unit should default to PREAMP ONE (green LED), BOOST off (LED off), EFFECTS off and REVERB on. Input A single jack socket is provided for connection to your instrument. This has a high impedance input which allows for perfect matching to both passive and active guitars. When there is no jack inserted into the input, the output of the preamp to the power stage is muted; this prevents any noise from being amplified when the unit is not in use. N.B. Please read the section on the EFFECTS LOOP if a SUPER GOLDTONE is to be used as a slave amp for a stereo set-up.

Preamp select switch This enables the user to switch between PREAMP ONE and PREAMP TWO from the front panel. This can also be switched from the 2-way footswitch provided or by the optional 5-way foot controller. The corresponding LED will light up green for PREAMP ONE and red for PREAMP TWO. It will also light up amber if the 5-way footswitch is used and PREAMP 0NE & TWO are selected. N.B. If the 2-way footswitch is used to switch to CHANNEL 2 this will take priority over the push switch. Boost select switch This enables the user to switch the BOOST function on and off from the front panel. This can also be switched from the 2-way footswitch provided or by the optional 5-way foot controller. The corresponding LED will light up red when BOOST is selected. N.B. If the 2-way footswitch is used to switch on BOOST this will take priority over the push switch. Preamp one This channel has been voiced primarily for clean sounds with the controls at low to halfway settings, but with higher settings it can be driven harder for classic slightly overdriven blues tones or a vintage style crunch. Using the BOOST function further increases the sonic capabilities. Volume This sets the level of PREAMP ONE and also has a large effect on the tone. From low to medium settings the sound is bright and clean which will suit most clean guitar styles. As it is increased the preamp will be pushed gradually towards a more overdriven tone, which responds well to the players dynamics. Treble, Middle & Bass The tone controls are all passive and interactive. TREBLE, MIDDLE and BASS all work in the conventional way, on this channel the operating frequencies have been set specifically for vintage clean and slightly overdriven sounds. Passive controls were chosen throughout the amplifier as they provide the best and most natural kind of equalisation for a guitar signal.

Preamp two This channel has been voiced primarily for overdriven tones although the overall sound produced can be altered radically depending on where the different controls are set. Using the BOOST fuction further increases the sonic capabilities. Gain This control adjusts the degree of drive in PREAMP TWO. Due to the design of the highly responsive all valve preamp this allows adjustment of the tone from clean, through crunch, to very dirty, adding the BOOST will then increase the sustain even further. Total amount of gain available should be enough for even the most extreme rock styles. This preamp is also very responsive to the players dynamics and use of the volume on the guitar. Level This control sets the overall output level for PREAMP TWO and can be used to balance the volume of the two preamps. Treble, Middle & Bass The TREBLE, MIDDLE and BASS controls on PREAMP TWO are also passive and interactive, however, for this preamp the operating frequencies have been specifically set for mainly over driven tones. Reverb Preamp 1, Preamp 2 These control the level of the reverb for each preamp respectively. On the GA-30RV, and GA-60RV models the effect is produced by a six spring ACCUTRONICS reverb tray in the cabinet. The optional 5-way foot controller can be used to switch the reverb effect on and off. N.B. Due to the amount of reverb available, in some extreme settings; i.e. loud, lots of gain and lots of reverb, there may be occasions when the reverb springs start to self oscillate, producing a low pitched tone on their own. If this should happen then it is recommended that the gain, volume and/or reverb settings are adjusted to prevent this. N.B. If both preamps are selected using the 5-way foot controller the reverb level will be controlled by the PREAMP 2 control. Master Volume This sets the level of signal sent to the power amp and consequently the overall volume of the amplifier.

Power Switch Off/Standby/On This switches the amplifier from OFF to STANDBY mode, where only the valve filament 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. Please refer to SWITCH ON SEQUENCE earlier in the manual. After switching of 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.

Footswitch Control Sockets DIN Socket - For 5-Way Foot Controller This is an 8 pin DIN connector that when connected to the optional five way foot controller allows the user to do the following:- switch between PREAMP 1 and PREAMP 2, switch BOOST on and off, switch both preamps on, switch EFFECTS LOOP on and off and REVERB on and off.This socket may also be used to connect the SUPER GOLDTONE to an external (MIDI) switching unit, with an appropriate lead dependant on particular device used. Bear in mind that the SUPER GOLDTONE internal switching is designed to respond to momentary (non latching) switching and that the external switching unit should be set for this. For more advice on this please contact the Service Dept. or distributor in your territory. PIN CONNECTION FOR
8 WAY DIN CONNECTOR

Jack Socket - For 2-Way Footswitch (Preamp1/2, Boost on/off) This is a stereo 1/4 jack socket for connection to the supplied two way latching footswitch, that enables the user to footswitch between preamp 1 and 2, and to operate the BOOST function remotely. This can be used as well as the optional five way foot controller if desired, however, due to the 2 way footswitch being a latching type, when switched on it will take priority over any other switch. Effects Loop This has sockets for SEND and RETURN and a level for each, as well as a switch for SERIES or PARALLEL configuration. Send, Level The SEND socket is for connection to the input of effects units. By correctly adjusting the LEVEL control, this can drive floor type battery powered effects pedals or 19 rack type studio effects units. The actual setting of the LEVEL control will depend on several things:- the output of the guitar, the preamp settings and the level needed to drive the particular effects unit. The general idea is to set the level as high as possible, (which improves signal/noise ratio) without creating distortion. As a guide, if floor type pedals are used the LEVEL will probably need to be set somewhere between 0 and 5, whereas if studio rack type devices are used it can be set higher up so that the level indicators on the effects unit reach their maximum point during peaks in the playing. Return, Level The RETURN socket is for connection to the output of effects units. The function of the LEVEL will depend on whether the loop is set to SERIES or PARALLEL configuration. In PARALLEL operation the LEVEL control will set the amount of effect signal mixed in with the straight, un-effected dry signal when the effects loop is switched in, it has no effect on the dry signal. In SERIES operation the LEVEL control will set the overall level of the total signal (sent from the effects unit) when the effects loop is switched in. Unless otherwise desired, it is best to set this so that when switching the effects loop on of off there are no great leaps in volume difference. Series/Parallel Switch The SERIES/PARALLEL switch alters the configuration of the effects loop. In SERIES mode the whole signal comes out of the amp, into the effects unit and then back into the amp, where as in PARALLEL mode the effected signal is mixed in with 8 the original dry signal, thus ensuring tonal purity of the dry signal.

The choice of which mode to use will depend on what kind of effects unit is used and what overall effects is desired. But generally if time delay effects are used, such as delay (echo), reverb, chorus, flanging, phasing, etc., then the PARALLEL setting is usually preferred. If volume or EQ related effects are used, such as overdriven/distortion, compression, graphic equalisation, wah-wah or volume pedals, or if a multi-effects unit is used with a combination of time delay and volume related effects, then it is usually best to set the switch to SERIES. There are no rules, it is best to experiment and see what you prefer. If PARALLEL configuration is used then if possible it is recommended that the dry/direct signal from the effects unit is turned to minimum or off. Ultimately there are no rules as to how to use effects, it is all down to the players personal preference and will also depend on what actual effects units are being used. Indeed, although the effects loop is generally accepted as the best place to add effects, both technically and sonically, a lot of guitarists still prefer to put at least some of their effects before the amp, particularly, wah-wah or volume pedals, auto wahs/envelope filters or compressors. Therefore, the only right way of doing this is to experiment with all your equipment and find what suits you best. If two Super Goldtones are used in a stereo set up where the SEND from one amplifier is sent into the effects processor and the left and right outputs are fed back into the RETURN on each amp, a jack plug of some kind will need to be inserted into the INPUT to un-mute the amplifier. The slave amp should also preferably be set to SERIES with all the controls on CHANNEL1 and CHANNEL 2 turned down. For more advice on this please contact the Service Dept. or distributor in your territory. Effects Loop Select Switch This enables the user to select or deselect the effects loop from the rear panel. It can also be selected by the optional 5-way foot controller. Power Amp Sections Currently, within the Super Goldtone range, two different power amp sections are used. The GA-30RV and GA-30RVH are each powered by four EL84/6BQ5s configured for CATHODE BIASED CLASS A, WITHOUT any NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. This is the traditional arrangement for a guitar amplifier of this type and will produce at least 30 watts with the valves supplied. The GA-60RV is powered by two EL34s configured for GRID BIASED CLASS A/B. This is the traditional arrangement for a guitar amplifier of this type and will produce 60 watts with the valves supplied. Other octal based output valves such as KT88, 6L6 and 6550 may also be used if biased correctly.

Speaker Outputs
The GA-30 models have three 1/4 jack sockets for connection to 8 or 16 loads. The two 8 sockets are in parallel. The GA-60 has an additional 4 output. On the combo models the two 8 outputs are connected to the two internal 16 speakers, however other cabinets may be used for different sounds/occasions as desired. When using other extension speaker cabinets the overall effective impedance should be correctly worked out and the appropriate socket(s) used. Impedance Formula For the two cabinets in parallel this can be done as follows:ZT (total impedance) = Z1 x Z2 Z1 + Z2 Therefore, as an example, if two 16 cabinets are used, 16 x 16 = 256 = 8 16 + 16 32 For more advice on this please contact the Service Dept. or distributor in your territory. Output Biasing (GA-60RV) Do not even attempt to make any adjustments to this before reading and understanding this section thoroughly. As with any power amplifier, incorrect biasing can result in the complete electronic destruction of the output devices, in this case expensive valves. As stated on the WARRANTY FORM, valves are not covered by the standard two year warranty except under certain conditions at the discretion of GIBSON. If you are in any doubt as to what you are doing refer the unit to an appropriate electronics service centre. The holes in the chassis marked BIAS MEASUREMENT and BIAS ADJUST allow the biasing of the output valves to be checked or reset easily and safely if necessary. It also allows the use of several different types of output valve including EL34, KT88, 6L6 and 6550. On a new unit the biasing will be factory set for the particular set of valves supplied with the amplifier. Although this should not need to be adjusted unless a new set of output valves is fitted, on all amplifiers as valves age their bias requirements may change.

10

There are several methods that are used to bias valve amplifiers, the following is one of the easiest and ensures that the output valves do not draw too much current which can result in thermal runaway. To check or reset bias on currently installed valves:1. Ensure unit is correctly loaded (speaker is connected). Connect to mains, switch on (STANDBY) and allow to warm up for at least one minute. 2. Ensure that the MASTER control is turned to zero and switch from STANDBY to ON. 3. Set voltmeter to 200mV DC range. Insert black probe into the 0V hole and red probe into V1. There should be a reading of 33mV (+/-3mV) on the voltmeter. If necessary, using a trimmer tool or small flat bladed screwdriver carefully rotate the appropriate BIAS ADJUST control to give the correct reading on the voltmeter. 4. Now insert black probe into V2. The reading should be as close to 0mV as possible (+/-1mV). If necessary, using a trimmer tool or small flat bladed screwdriver carefully rotate the appropriate BIAS ADJUST control to give the correct reading on the voltmeter. 5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until no more adjustment is required. To install new valves and bias amplifier:1. Ensure unit is disconnected from mains supply and that the valves have had time to cool down. 2. Either remove front grill or complete amplifier assembly and carefully remove old valves. 3. Install new valves making sure all are inserted correctly. N.B. Only use matched sets of output valves. 4. Using trimmer tool turn BIAS ADJUST controls fully anti-clockwise. 5. Ensure unit is correctly loaded (speaker is connected). Connect to mains, switch to STANDBY and allow to warm up for at least one minute. 6. Ensure that MASTER controls are turned to zero and switch from STANDBY to ON. 7. Set voltmeter to 200mV DC range. Insert black probe into the 0V hole and red probe into V1 probe. 8. Using trimmer tool carefully rotate the appropriate BIAS ADJUST control to give the correct reading on the voltmeter as shown below. EL34 KT88 6L6 6550 5881 33mV 37mV 28mV 37mV 30mV (+/(+/(+/(+/(+/3mV) 3mV) 3mV) 3mV) 3mV)

11

The above values are a guideline but should be OK for most brands of valves, although the bias point for any amplifier is somewhat subjective. Increasing the values shown may improve the tone but will make the valves run hotter, whereas lower values will increase valve life and reliability. 9. Now insert black probe into V2. The other BIAS ADJUST control should now be adjusted to give a reading on the voltmeter as close to 0mV as possible (+/-1mV). 10. Repeat steps 7, 8 & 9 until no more adjustment is required. For more advice on this please contact the Service Dept. or distributor in your territory. The output valves on the GA-30 do not require biasing to be manually set due to the CATHODE SELF BIAS design of the output stage. Therefore to change valves simply follow points 1, 2 and 3 immediately above.

IEC Socket/Mains Fuse This 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 fuse rating and type as marked on the units rear panel. Using one of a higher rating will invalidate the warranty. If after replacement the mains fuse should blow a second time, immediately refer the unit to an approved service engineer for checking. Super Goldtone Cabinet Instructions The Super Goldtone speaker cabinet incorporates a sealed (infinite baffle) 2x12 bottom, with two Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, and an open backed 2x10 top, with two Celestion Vintage 10s. The power rating of these individually is 60 watts RMS, therefore the power rating of the whole cab will be 240 watts RMS. The rear panel sockets and switch allow the cabinet to be configured as either a 4 mono cab, a 16 mono cab or a 2 x 8 stereo cab. To prevent serious damage check that the correct impedance is set on both amplifier and the speaker cabinet each time that they are used. Also make sure that any cables used to connect to the cabinet are proper speaker cables (NOT GUITAR/INSTRUMENT CABLES) and that they are in good working order. When set to 8 stereo, a separate amplifier can drive into each of the sockets, however, when set to mono, either 4 or 16, only one of the two sockets should be used at once. The likely result of driving two amplifiers into the cabinet when set to this configuration could be the destruction of both the amplifiers and speakers.

EMC Warning It is inherent in the design of a loudspeaker and in the design of guitar pickups that they should emit or be affected by electro magnetic fields. Loudspeaker enclosures should not be used less than 2 metres away from equipment which is likely to be affected by electro magnetic interference. Likewise, guitars fitted with electro magnetic pickups should not be used less than 2 metres away from any source of electro magnetic emissions such as loudspeakers. Emissions from loudspeakers are dependent on the frequency characteristic of the drive unit. Levels were measured direct from the drivers of 30 dBuV. These levels are reduced to a safe level at a distance of 1.27 metres from the drivers.

EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) [bestendigheid tegen elektromagnetische storingen] Waarschuwing Het is inherent in het ontwerp van een luidspreker en in het ontwerp van guitaar tastelementen dat zij elektromagnetische velden emitteren of er door benvloed worden. Luidspreker omkastingen dienen niet gebruikt te worden op een afstand van minder dan 2 meter van de uitrusting, daar deze benvloed zouden kunnen worden door elektromagnetische storing. Evenzo dienen guitaren uitgerust met elektromagnetische tastelementen niet gebruikt te worden op een afstand van minder dan 2 meter van een bron van elektromagnetische emissies, zoals luidsprekers. Emissies van luidsprekers zijn afhankelijk van de frequentie die kenmerkend is voor de aandrijfinrichting. Niveaus van 30 dBuV werden rechtstreeks van de aandrijvers gemeten. Deze niveaus zijn verminderd tot een veilig niveau op een afstand van 1.27m van de aandrijvers.

Koska tmn laitteen verkkojohdon vrit saattavat erota liittimen vrimerkinnist, toimi seuraavasti: Vihre & keltainen johto tytyy yhdist pistokkeen liittimeen, joka on merkattu E:ll tai maattosymbolilla tai joka on vriltn vihre tai vihre ja keltainen. Sininen johto tytyy yhdist liittimeen, joka on merkattu N-kirjaimella tai joka on vriltn musta. Ruskea johto tytyy yhdist liittimeen, joka on merkattu L-kirjaimella tai joka on punainen. Kytettess 13 ampeerin (BS1363) pistoketta tytyy siihen laittaa 13 ampeerin sulake. Jonkin muun tyyppist pistoketta kytettess tytyy 15 ampeerin sulake laittaa joko pistokkeeseen, adapteriin tai jakelutauluun.
