FEATURES AND CONTROLS

(1) INPUT (HIGH GAIN)

This 1 / 4'' mono jack is designed to accommodate most any guitar output signal. Input signal gain can be adjusted by the PRE GAIN (7) control (Lead channel only).

(2) INPUT (LOW GAIN)

This 1 / 4'' mono jack is designed to accommodate instruments with extremely high outputs that might overdrive the high gain input. It is -6 dB from the high gain input. If both inputs are used simultaneously, both will be low gain.

(3) VOLUME

This control sets the overall level of the Clean channel.

(4) MODERN / VINTAGE SWITCH

This switch selects the voicing of the Clean channel. The MODERN position reflects the tones of current amplifier design. The VINTAGE position changes the EQ and adds brightness to simulate classic amp design.

(5) CLEAN CHANNEL EQ

These passive controls allow adjustment of LOW, MID, and HIGH frequencies. The tonal changes produced by these controls will vary depending on the position of the MODERN / VINTAGE SWITCH (4). The “o” position is maximum cut; the “10” position is maximum boost.

(6) ACTIVE CHANNEL LEDs

These indicators signify the active channel. Green indicates Clean channel activation; red indicates Lead channel activation.

(7) PRE GAIN

This control adjusts the input gain of the Lead channel. Increasing input gain will increase preamp distortion and sustain.

(8) MODERN / VINTAGE / HIGH GAIN SWITCH

This switch selects both the gain and voicing of the Lead channel. The MODERN position increases gain and notches (cuts) mid frequencies to establish a “hard rock/metal” tone. The VINTAGE position replicates overdriven classic tube amps, while the HIGH GAIN setting increases gain and changes the EQ to allow leads/solos to “cut through.”

(9) LEAD CHANNEL EQ.

These passive controls allow adjustment of LOW, MID, and HIGH frequencies. The "o" position is maximum cut; the "10" position is maximum boost.

(10) POST GAIN

This control sets the overall gain of the Lead channel.

(11) CHANNEL SELECT

This switch selects the channel (Lead or Clean). The ACTIVE CHANNEL LEDs (6) indicate the active channel — green for Clean; red for Lead.

(12) EFX ADJUST

Pressing this control selects the effect. A yellow LED adjacent to the effect name will illuminate to indicate the selected effect. Rotating this control clockwise changes the parameter of the active effect according to the descriptions below. The surrounding LED ring indicates relative value of the parameter being adjusted.

EFX ADJ PARAMETERS

Tremolo - Rate increase Funk Wah - Sensitivity increase

Octaver - Wet/ Dry mix Rotary Speaker - Rate increase

Flanger - Rate increase Phaser - Rate increase

Chorus - Rate increase/deep decrease

EFX amps are built with factory settings loaded into the presets. To return to the factory settings, press and hold both the EFX ADJUST (12) and DELAY (14) controls while turning the amp on.

(13) REVERB

This control adjusts the overall reverb level. The surrounding LED ring indicates level.

(14) DELAY

This control adjusts delay type, time, and volume. Three types of delay are available: SLAP (1 repeat), ECHO (3-4 repeats), or INFINITE (5-6 repeats). The LEDs in each section of the control indicate which type is active and volume level. Pressing the control twice sets the delay time to the interval between presses.

(15) POWER SWITCH

This switch applies power to the unit in the "ON" position. One of the ACTIVE CHANNEL LEDs (6) will illuminate to indicate that the unit is on. Pressing the lower portion of the switch turns the unit off.

(16) REMOTE SWITCH

This eight-pin DIN connector is provided for connection of the PFC 3 footswitch (included). The footswitch cable should be connected before the amp is powered up. See the FOOTSWITCH section of this manual for explanation of footswitch operation.

(17) EFFECTS LEVEL SWITCH

Selects the effects loop operating level: -10 dBV (0.3V RMS) when "out" and o dBV (1 V RMS) when "in".

(18) EFFECTS SEND

Output for supplying signals to external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.

(19) EFFECTS RETURN

Input for returning signals from external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.

(20) PREAMP OUT

The preamp out can be used to route the amplified signal from the preamp to a mixing console, tape recorder, etc. Connect the preamp output to line-level inputs of other equipment using high quality shielded cable. This patch does not affect operation of the amplifier.

(21) POWER AMP IN

Used to connect line-level signals to the power amplifier section. Connect the power amp input to line-level output of other equipment using high quality shielded cable. This patch disconnects the preamp section from the power amp section.

(22) DAMPING

This three-position switch allows for adjustment of the damping factor of the power amplifier. Damping is the ability of an amplifier to control speaker cone motion after the signal disappears. A higher damping factor (TIGHT) reduces cone vibration more quickly than a lower damping factor (LOOSE). This switch works much like the Resonance and Presence controls found on other Peavey amps, if they were to be turned simultaneously. If the Damping switch is changed, the volume level of the amp will also change and may require re-adjustment of the volume.

(23) POWER

This three-position switch selects the power output level of the power amplifier. This switch works like the T. Dynamics® control found on other Peavey amplifiers which provides for a more pronounced tube power compression simulation at lower settings.

(24) SPEAKER OUTPUTS

These paralleled 1/4'' mono (TS) jacks are provided for the connection of speaker enclosure(s). Minimum speaker impedance is 4 Ohms. The CABINET IMPEDANCE switch (25) must be set to match the load of the speaker cabinet(s).

(25) CABINET IMPEDANCE

This three-position switch allows for appropriate selection of speaker cabinet impedance. If two enclosures of equal impedance are used, the switch should be set to half the individual value. For example, two 16 Ohm enclosures necessitate an 8 Ohm setting, while two 8 Ohm enclosures would require a 4 Ohm setting. Minimum speaker impedance is 4 Ohms.

(26) GROUND POLARITY SWITCH

This three-position rocker switch should normally be placed in the center (o) position. If hum or noise is noticed coming from the speaker enclosure(s), the switch may be placed in the “+” or “-” position to minimize hum and noise. If changing the polarity does not alleviate the problem, consult your authorized Peavey dealer, the Peavey factory, or a qualified service technician.

(27) IEC MAINS CONNECTOR

This is a standard IEC power connector. An AC mains cord having the appropriate AC plug and ratings for the intended operating voltage is included in the carton. The mains cord should be connected to the amplifier before connecting to a suitable AC outlet.

MODE SELECT

The PFC 3 footswitch operates in two modes: EFX Select mode and Preset Select mode. Pressing the MODE SWITCH (28) selects between the two modes. The active mode is indicated by the MODE LED (29). Illumination of the LED indicates EFX Select Mode; a dark LED indicates Preset Select Mode. Controls and indicators 30-35 perform different functions relative to the active mode.

PRESET SELECT MODE

In this mode, all three switches control effects presets. Their corresponding LEDs indicate which preset is active. Once desired settings are achieved utilizing the effects controls on the front panel, double-click one of the Preset switches (30, 33, or 35) to store the settings. To return to the last saved settings for a Preset, press the desired Preset switch once.

For a detailed explanation on creating and storing presets, refer to the TWEAK FEATURES section of this manual on the following page.

EFX SELECT MODE

NOTE: When entering this mode, the current preset will remain active. In this mode, SWITCH 1 (30) selects between the Lead and Clean channels. The CHANNEL LED (31) will illuminate when the Lead channel is active. SWITCH 2 (33) toggles between two effects and their respective settings. This switch may be used as an on/off switch if one of the settings has no effects active. To use the MODULATION LED (32) as a status indicator, the “off” (or lower setting) should be made with the LED dark, and the “on” (or higher setting) made with the LED illuminated. SWITCH 3 (35) toggles between two reverb and delay settings. As with effects settings, this switch may be used as an on/off for reverb and delay. Both functions change simultaneously when this switch is depressed.

Tweak Features

EFX amplifiers offer hidden features to further adjust the parameters of the digital effects. In addition to the adjustments described in the EFX ADJ PARAMETERS section of this manual, additional tweaks may be made to customize effects to user preference. Tweaks are made by pressing and holding the EFX ADJUST (12) control while simultaneously rotating the REVERB (13) control. The EFX ADJUST control must be pressed for at least one second to enter Tweak Mode. Reverb setting will not be affected while in Tweak Mode. The LED ring surrounding the control will now reflect the value of the effect being tweaked. As in standard parameter changes, the effect being tweaked will be the active effect as indicated by the LED adjacent to the effect name.

TWEAK ADJ PARAMETERS

Tremolo - Intensity

Funk Wah - Decay time

Phaser - Depth

Flanger - Depth

Rotary Speaker - Wet/Dry mix

Chorus - Wet/Dry

mix

To recover the factory settings for both Standard and Tweak Modes, press the EFX ADJUST (12) control and hold for one second to enter Tweak Mode, then press the DELAY (14) control.

CREATING AND STORING A CUSTOM PRESET

The following steps explain the creation and storage of two different effects/settings, as well as two different settings for Delay/Reverb. The Flanger and Octaver effects were selected at random. These steps will accomplish custom presets using any of the effects.

1. Assure the footswitch is in the EFX Select Mode by pressing the MODE SWITCH (28) if necessary. The MODE LED (29) will illuminate.
2. Use SWITCH 1 (30) to select Lead or Clean channel. The CHANNEL LED (31) will illuminate for Lead channel.
3. Select the position of SWITCH 2 (33). The MODULATION LED (32) may be illuminated or dark at the discretion of the user.
4. Select Flanger and adjust rate to preference using the EFX ADJUST (12) control on the front panel (standard adjustment).
5. Press and hold the EFX ADJUST (12) control while adjusting Flanger depth to preference with the REVERB (13) control on the front panel (tweak).
6. Press SWITCH 2 (33) to change to the other Modulation position. The MODULATION LED (32) will illuminate or go dark depending on its status in step 5.
7. Select Octaver and adjust wet/dry mix to preference using the EFX ADJUST (12) control on the front panel (standard adjustment).
8. Select the position of SWITCH 3 (35). The DELAY/REVERB LED (34) may be illuminated or dark at the discretion of the user.
9. Adjust reverb to preference using the REVERB (13) control on the front panel.
10. Press SWITCH 3 (35) to change to the other Delay/Reverb position. The DELAY/REVERB LED (34) will illuminate or go dark depending on its status in step 10.
11. Adjust delay type, time, and volume to preference using the DELAY (14) control.
12. Set the position of SWITCH 2 (33) and SWITCH 3 (35) to the settings preferred as defaults. (Default setting is the one that is active when the preset is selected.)
13. Press the MODE SWITCH (28) to return to the Preset Mode.
14. Double-click PRESET 1, 2, or 3 (30, 33, or 35) to store the settings in that location.
