Stereo Simul-Class 295 Operating Manual 1.
Congratulations! You are now the owner of an innovative yet classic kind of power amplifier, designed and built exclusively for the guitarist: the Stereo Simul-Class 295. Like all MESA/Boogie amps, it's an all-tube circuit, because there just isn't a better-sounding way to build a guitar amp.
INPUT CONNECTIONS. Each channel of the 295 has one 1/4” input jack. In addition, a separate 1/4” jack on the rear deck of the chassis (labeled "Parallel Inputs A & B") offers access to both channels simultaneously.
CLASS A / SIMUL-CLASS SWITCHES. These two rocker switches on the 295's rear deck (again, one per channel) allow selection of either the "Class A” Mode or the "Simul-Class" Mode.
BIAS. As with all MESA/Boogie amplifiers, the bias is permanently set during construction and never needs adjustment. This saves you any technician's fee for readjustment when replacing tubes, and prevents the bias from "wandering" or being accidentally set improperly.
