Important Safety Information  
Please note and retain this information. Carefully read and follow all of the safety and oper-  
ating instructions before you use the machine. Be doubly careful to note and follow the warn-  
ings and special safety notices.  
Connections: Only use the connections as described. Other connections can lead to health  
risks and equipment damage.  
Water and Humidity: Do NOT use this machine anywhere near water (for example near a wash  
basin or bath, in a damp cellar, near swimming pools, or the like). In such cases there is an  
extremely high risk of fatal electrical shocks!  
Insertion of Foreign Objects or Fluids: NEVER allow a foreign object through any of the  
machine‘s chassis openings. You can easily come into contact with dangerous voltage or cause  
a damaging short circuit. NEVER allow any fluids to be spilled or sprayed on the machine. Such  
actions can lead to dangerous electrical shocks or fire!  
Opening the Machine: Do NOT open the machine housing, as there is great risk you will  
damage the machine, or – even after being disconnected – you may receive a dangerous elec-  
trical shock!  
Electrical Power: Run this machine ONLY from sources which can provide proper power at the  
prescribed rating. When in doubt about a source, contact your dealer or a professional electri-  
cian. To be sure you have isolated the machine, do so by disconnecting the power cord from  
your wall connection. Be sure that the power cord plug is always accessible. When not using  
the machine for a longer period, make sure to unplug it from your wall power socket.  
Power Cord Protection: Make sure that your power cord is arranged to avoid being stepped  
on or any kind of crimping and damage related to such event. Do not allow any equipment or  
furniture to crimp this power cord.  
Power Connection Overloads: Avoid any kind of overload in connections to wall sockets,  
extension or splitter power cords. Always keep manufacturer warnings and instructions in  
mind. Overloads create fire hazards and risk of dangerous shocks!  
Lightning: Before thunderstorms or other severe weather, disconnect the machine from wall  
power (but to avoid life threatening lightning strikes, not during a storm). Similarly, before  
any severe weather, disconnect ALL the power connections of other machines and antenna  
and phone/internet cables which may be interconnected so that no lightning damage or over-  
load results from such secondary connections.  
Air Circulation: Chassis openings offer ventilation and serve to protect the machine from  
overheating. NEVER cover or otherwise close off these openings. NEVER place the machine  
on a soft surface (carpet, sofa, etc.). Make sure to provide for a mounting space of 4-5 cm/2  
inches when mounting the machine in racks or cabinets.  
Repairs: Unplug the machine and immediately contact a qualified technician when you think  
repairs are needed – or when moisture or foreign objects may accidentally have gotten in to  
the housing, or in cases when the machine may have fallen and shows any sign of having been  
damaged. This also applies to any situation in which the machine has not been subjected  
to any of these unusual circumstances but still is not functioning normally or its perfor-  
mance is substantially altered.  
In cases of damage to the power cord or its plug, first consider turning off the main circuit  
breaker before unplugging the power cord.  
Operate the controls and switches only as described in the manual. Incorrect adjustments  
outside safe parameters can lead to damage and unnecessary repair costs. Never use the  
switches or level controls to effect excessive or extreme changes.  
Replacement/Substitute Parts: Be sure that any service technician uses original replacement  
parts or those with identical specifications as the originals. Incorrectly substituted parts can  
lead to fire, electrical shock, or other dangers, including further equipment damage.  
Safety inspection: Be sure always to ask a service technician to conduct a thorough safety  
check and ensure that the state of the repaired machine is in all respects up to factory stan-  
dards.  
Cleaning: In cleaning, do NOT use any solvents, as these can damage the chassis finish. Use  
a clean, dry cloth (if necessary, with an acid-free cleaning oil). Disconnect the machine from  
your power source before cleaning.

Hook Up  
Hook up  
Be very careful to check that the rear chassis power selection switch is set to the correct  
local line voltage position before using the unit (230V position: 220-240V, 115V position:  
110-120V)! When in doubt about a source, contact your dealer or a professional electrician.  
Before connecting any equipment make sure that any machine to be connected is turned off  
(rear panel power switch). Follow all safety instructions on page 4.  
Place the unit on a level and stable surface. The unit’s enclosure is EMC-safe and effectively  
shielded against HF interference. Nonetheless, you should carefully consider where you place  
the unit to avoid electrical disturbances. It should be positioned so that you can easily reach  
it, but there are other considerations. Try not to place it near heat sources or in direct sunlight,  
and avoid exposure to vibrations, dust, heat, cold or moisture. It should also be kept away  
from transformers, motors, power amplifiers and digital processors. Always ensure sufficient  
air circulation by keeping a distance of 4-5 cm/2 inches to other units and to the sides of the  
unit.  
Rack Mounting  
Be sure that both above and below the machine you maintain a distance of 1U (44mm/  
1.5-2 inches) in order to eliminate electromagnetic or high frequency interference from other  
equipment. Moreover, this will ensure adequate air circulation to prevent overheating. Do  
NOT locate other machines that produce excessive heat below the Transducer. The rear side  
of the machine should be properly supported – especially when transport is involved.  
WARNINGS  
DO NOT PLACE THE MACHINE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT MIGHT COME INTO CONTACT WITH OR SIT  
ON ANY FLUIDS. AVOIDING SUCH CONTACT WILL AVOID HAZARDS FROM FIRE, DANGEROUS  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR MACHINE DAMAGE. DO NOT OPEN THE MACHINE. THE LIGHTNING

Scope of Delivery  
Introduction  
The scope of delivery comprises the Transducer, the power cable and the manual. Please keep  
the original packaging. In case of a service procedure the original packaging ensures a safe  
transport. It also serves as a safe packaging for your own transports if you do not use special  
transportation cases.  
Tonehunter and SPL  
The Transducer is a cooperative developmental effort between the guitar amp firm of  
Tonehunter and SPL. It brings together many years of experience from the professional music  
scene, combining specialized knowledge of electric guitarists and SPL‘s established interna-  
tional reputation in the research and development of analog studio electronics. This mutual  
effort of these two firms has been the basis for new ideas such as the unique Transducer  
concept, which has the potential to revolutionize the working life of both the electric guitarist  
and the recording studio engineer.  
Tonehunter  
The firm Tonehunter has over 15 years of experience pursuing the goal of fulfilling the sonic  
wishes of professional electric guitarists. This includes tube amplifiers, effects units, support  
for live and studio sessions as well as custom set designs from instruments, cables and  
effects machines to pickups, amps and speaker cabinets. The Tonehunter team is comprised  
exclusively of musicians with extensive audio engineering backgrounds who, in contact with  
their customers, are always at the forefront of new, no-compromise developments that fulfill  
the highest user expectations.  
SPL – Sound Performance Lab  
SPL boasts over 20 years of experience in the development and production of analog and  
digital audio processing equipment in the professional music, film, multimedia and broad-  
casting industries. Our products enjoy a first rank, worldwide reputation for innovation, user  
friendliness and consistently superior performance.  
To SPL’s technological milestones belong the first level-independent analog dynamic enve-  
lope shaping tool (the “Transient Designer”), the pioneering introduction in 1998 of the first  
discrete 5.1 surround recording system (“Atmos 5.1“) and the development of the SPL SUPRA  
OpAmps with an unprecedented operating voltage of 120 Volts. These SUPRA OpAmps form  
the basis for SPL‘s Mastering Series for stereo and multi-channel applications and with their  
performance set new benchmarks in audio signal processing that are clearly a step beyond all  
existing analog or digital audio formats.  
Transducer  
The SPL Transducer is an analog cabinet and miking simulator for guitar amplifiers. In studio  
and on stage the Transducer replaces the guitar speaker cabinet and microphone(s) so that  
the time and resource-intensive microphone processing of this loud sonic source is no longer  
necessary. In addition the Transducer offers much more sonic flexibility and variety than a  
single mike and cabinet setup because it allows for varied speaker and mike simulations  
while allowing to retain accustomed features of individual setups (such as the ability to vary  
level-dependent loudspeaker characteristics and microphone distances).  
Do you want to record a fully torqued tube amp in a hotel at night? You’ll stay: with head-  
phones virtually inaudible to anyone else, soundwise with stunning authenticity, and with  
the direct response of latency-free analog gear. The Transducer‘s purely analog design and  
strictly selected components are the key to its extremely fast and complex sonic processing  
– latency problems simply do not exist! It thereby gives the guitarist a direct response with an  
authentic punch. The analog simulation is so lavishly designed and constructed that even the  
most subtle guitar amp nuances are reproduced. With just a few adjustments the engineer  
has at his or her disposal a first class guitar signal for either studio recording sessions or in a  
live P. A. mix.

Introduction  
Advantages – an Overview  
The Transducer supplants at least four loudspeaker cabinets, two high quality microphones,  
their preamp, a good room ambiance, and at any time, the amplification may be cranked up.  
Moreover, the entire Transducer usage is highly intuitive and requires no prior miking exper-  
tise.  
• The Transducer offers a unique ability for the guitarist during production performance to  
hear a true playback and then adjust his playback to the moment in the control room.  
• Fully analog construction for the highest authenticity in sonic quality and outstanding  
playability throught direct, latency-free response.  
• Critical parts are carefully selected for exceptional sonic characteristics. In these days of  
mass production, we still select our OP amps only after listening to them and rejecting  
those lacking in our required exceptional sonic characteristics. This also applies to our top  
flight foil condensers and individually built High-Z transformers from Lehle.  
• The Transducer replaces all major cabinet and microphone types, thereby enormous  
savings in cost and space in transport, on stage, or in the studio.  
• Processing is independent from absolute volume levels, which means that no recording  
room is necessary and ear-saving work is possible everywhere and at any time.  
• Sonically much more flexible than a fixed cabinet/mike set in that all important loudspeaker  
and cabinet types, as well as dynamic and condenser microphones can be simulated.  
• Multiple guitar tracks can be “stacked” – the doubled layers become “phatter”. In the  
process, there will not be any thinning effect from phase shifts as with digital simulation.  
• 200-Watt Power Soak: The power amp‘s distortion may, as with cabinets, be integrated  
into an authentically distorted sonic design. Please pay close attention to the warnings for  
connecting guitar amps to the Transducer on page 11.  
• Resulting recorded sounds are independent from room characteristics – what you hear is  
what you get.  
• Signals for live mixes are at recording quality level and free from crosstalk from other sound  
sources.  
• As on-stage recording loudspeakers are not needed any in-ear monitoring is done at safe-  
hearing levels as the cabinet must not be drowned out.  
• Significantly less time spent and much more efficiency and convenience in equipment  
setup, preparation, and working with sound variations.  
• Working procedures and connections follow customary standards of amp and cabinet sets.  
• Live application advantage: It is extremely easy to achieve a dry-wet-wet setup. The amp  
signal passes via “Speaker Thru“, for a dry direct signal and the Transducer line out is  
connected to the effects machine; FX left and right out provides a wet signal on stage.  
• Live application advantage: two line outs with separate balancing drivers – the Transducer  
provides for both FOH and stage routings.  
On Stage  
The Transducer’s “Speaker Thru“ option allows a cabinet to be connected without any loss  
in signal quality. The stage sound comes as usual from the stack, while at the same time the  
sound technician receives a top quality recording quality signal without miking – and without  
crosstalk from any other sound source. If on the other hand very low sound levels are required  
on stage, the Transducer can supplant the cabinet. The line or microphone signal of the  
Transducer can then be routed via FOH mixer to either a stage monitor or in-ear system for the  
guitarist.

Introduction  
Sound Setups  
After cabling is complete, the sound setup functions primarily as one might expect: First,  
guitar amp sound adjustments are prepared as though the cabinet were already connected.  
However, instead of choosing a cabinet and experimenting with microphones and their posi-  
tioning, adjustments need only be made with the Transducer controls. In such cases the  
Transducer interfaces with the guitar amp just as an actual guitar cabinet and microphone:  
When switching the Transducer to a smaller cabinet with a “crispy” speaker, one probably  
also changes the amplifier settings.  
During studio production the guitarist can try out different adjustments, and during play-  
back, immediately hear these settings and their effects on the mix. The operation is based  
on standard procedures, is completely intuitive and independent from room acoustics – what  
you hear is what you get.  
A Complete – Not Approximated – Simulation  
An important aspect of signal processing with guitar sound distortion is the reproduction  
of chords: The string sound should exhibit a fine resolution and homogeneous, musically  
unified sound quality. From this emanates the deep, complex and unified sonic structure  
typical of the best speaker and box assemblies. This aspect is also a prime consideration in  
the Transducer‘s uniquely precise output: Through its new concept in signal processing you  
experience a completely authentic sonic feel.  
The Transducer circuitry also conveys the different time characteristics of guitar speaker low  
and high frequencies. With reduced guitar signal levels, the Transducer nonetheless repro-  
duces the full dynamic range of a guitar amp. Even attack-dependent loudspeaker compres-  
sion characteristics are realistically reproduced. For guitarists there is his playing no change  
in comparison to normal box setups.  
Authentic Variety  
The Transducer‘s flexible switching enables adjustments which allow the creation of complex  
sound and attack characteristics of “classic” electric guitar cabinets and their speakers in all  
frequency ranges. From the small, half open 1x12 inch cabinet with alnico speaker to British  
4x12 inch Rock n‘ Roll cabinets, the Transducer has every sound covered. Even speaker distor-  
tion effects and recording levels may be simulated, including the desired loudness effect.  
Analog Construction – Analog Function  
In working with the Transducer, a guitar amp will be loaded as if with an actual cabinet so that  
the interaction of both components will produce the same results. As the microphone type  
and positioning are adjustable, the Transducer can supplant both cabinet and mike.  
One Transducer output can also be used the same as if it were a microphone standing in front  
of a guitarist‘s cabinet: It can be used with a microphone preamp. Just as it is worth the effort  
to try out different mike preamps with mikes and cabinets, one may do the same with the  
Transducer. Alternatively the Transducer also provides for a line signal output so that addi-  
tional microphone amplification is no longer needed. An internal microphone preamplifier in  
traditional SPL quality is used here for pristine sound results.

Power Connection  
Before you connect the Transducer to any local power source, be SURE to check that the rear  
panel voltage switch is correctly set for your local area (115V position: 110-120V, 230 V posi-  
tion: 220-240V).  
Connect the included power chord to the rear Mains Input. Transformer, power chord and  
case connection conform to VDE, UL and CSA requirements. Power fuse ratings are 200mA  
slow blow (230 volts) or 400mA slow blow (115 volts).

On and Off  
In switching on and off, you need not follow any particular sequence. Even when the amp  
is running and the Transducer is shut off, the latter works as a passive resistance circuit.  
Therefore the amp is not loaded more heavily by a switched off Transducer as it is in the case  
of a connected cabinet.

Signal Connections  
Before first connecting any other equipment – and in all other cases where you are connec-  
ting cables with or from other sources – you should be sure to shut the Transducer and all  
machines to be connected off (rear panel power switch). Otherwise you risk to damage the  
unit, connected gear or your ears.

WARNING: Connecting Guitar Amps and the Transducer  
Many guitar amps are not designed for sustained maximum level operation, and if run this  
way, it can lead to overloads and power amp damage. At high levels, amps can produce high  
frequency oscillations which can destroy output transformers. Moreover, this can cause  
audible unwanted output transformer distortion. Such problems are not a result of Transducer  
use, but reside within the guitar amp.  
Even in situations where you might wish to push the guitar amp to its limit in conjunction  
with the Transducer, you should always be sure to allow for ample power reserves to avoid  
endangering the amp itself!  
In the same way a guitar amp and box should never be run knobs full to the right, so should  
you avoid running the Transducer this way. Therefore we strongly recommend that the guitar  
amp should never be run at over 70% of its maximal signal level!  
Look for the amp‘s “Sweet Spot” as you make adjustments to it. This is almost never in the  
upper level output range. Where the amp‘s bass starts to sound “spongy” and somewhat  
undifferentiated is the place where your master level control should be turned back.  
The guitar amp output must be rated at 8 ohms! Only connect amplifiers rated at a 100W  
maximum to maintain a further 100W reserve for signal peaks. A guitar amp may be used  
ONLY within its normal operating parameters. The Transducer may be loaded up to 200W.  
But please note that a 100W amp at higher volumes, eventually combined with further effects,  
produces peaks far above 100W. Therefore we strongly recommend connecting amps rated at  
a maximum of 100W.

IMPORTANT ADVICE  
Use only one (either an XLR or 1/4" TRS) Line Output 2 connection at a time. Using both  
output connections simultaneously can impair the signal through impedance mismatches  
from the doubled load that can lead to such problems as high frequency damping.  
However, Line Output 1 and 2 can be used simultaneously.

Overview  
Control Elements  
Controls, LEDs and Switches from left to right  
4*(ꢌ  
Signal LED  
The signal LED indicates the presence of a signal at the Transducer‘s input. It is activated at a  
-20dBu level.  
WARNING  
If an amplifier is connected and the Signal LED illuminates though a signal is not present or  
too much noise from the amp is not the reason, the lighted LED can indicate a high frequency  
resonance of the amp.  
In this case turn down the master volume of the amp until the LED goes out. High frequency  
resonances can overload and damage the guitar amp!  
Such problems are not a result of Transducer use, but reside within the guitar amp.  
Speaker Action  
This simulates speaker cone characteristics at different levels. With a moderately driven  
guitar box (Speaker Action from 0%-35%), speakers ideally reproduce the signal clearly  
without too many side effects. As levels increase, overtones are added by the overdriven  
speaker, producing its characteristic “rasping” distortion effect. Speaker Action allows for  
the simulation of this effect.  
4
Speaker Actions is, as with Miking Level and Output Gain, a level control. Turning it to the left  
allows only low levels to pass, just as with a cabinet driven at low levels. If a small Speaker  
Action is wanted, it must be compensated for with a comparable increase in Miking Level – in  
principle the same as you would need to do in working with a cabinet.  
Please pay attention to the information under “Leveling the Transducer” on page 20.  
Speaker Cabinet  
0QFO  
This switch toggles between an open and closed guitar cabinet characteristic.  
“Open” sounds definitely more open, brilliant and direct, as the signal contains more tran-  
sients and produces less punch as with the “Closed” setting, wherein the sound has more  
punch and with its added compression more closely creates the impression of the compressed  
air in a closed box, though with less brilliance and detail.  
$MPTFE  
4QBSLZ  
.FMMPX  
Speaker Voicing  
This offers the choice of sound and attack characteristics from either alnico speakers (Sparky)  
or the British ceramic construction (Mellow). The “Sparky” setting produces a lively, more  
responsive sound with additional overtones, while the “Mellow” setting sounds warmer and  
softer.

Control Elements  
Miking Level  
A microphone produces a different sound at lower sound levels than at higher ones. With the  
Transducer‘s Miking Level one can simulate these differences. Increasing the Miking Level  
effect produces a stronger compression level and a denser sound canvas. This builds an effect  
of increasing loudness.  
A lower miking level produces a more refined and at the same time, marked high frequency  
production with reduced mids.  
Please pay attention to the information under “Leveling the Transducer” on page 20.  
$POEFOTFS  
%ZOBNJD  
Microphone Selection  
This provides for selecting either condenser or dynamic microphone characteristics.  
Depending upon the cabinet these microphone choices will affect the sound right from the  
start, and clearly this will continue to contribute to the overall available guitar sound.  
A condenser microphone normally sounds more open and transparent, though less punchy  
than a dynamic. It is also unforgiving, and, for example, can quickly single out weaknesses  
in loudspeaker microphoning. A dynamic microphone has more punch, though it sounds  
less clear than a condenser. It can be more forgiving and withstands higher sound pressure  
levels.  
$MPTF  
Microphone Distance  
The sound dispersion characteristics of guitar speakers varies with microphone distance, with  
slightly distanced microphoning adding more ambience. With Microphone Distance settings  
it is possible to simulate these different sonic characteristics.  
"NCJFOU  
The Close setting provides a more direct sound and tends to sit in the front of the mix. With  
sharply defined corners and angles, full detailing and overtone rich, this sound is suited for  
soloists. In contrast, the Ambient setting is ideal for a “wall of sound“ – and is sonically less  
direct, softer, but with more push and punch.  
Output Gain  
This controls the Line Output 1 and 2 output levels; the Mic Level Output is not influenced by  
this control. Please pay attention to the Information under “Leveling the Transducer” on page  
20.  
This LED illuminates 3dB before the internal microphone preamplifier stage is overloaded. In  
this case, be sure to lower the Output Gain until the OVL LED goes out.  
NOTE: The Mic Level Output is independent from the Output Gain control.  
07-  
Overload LED  
Line Output 1 and Line Output 2 only. This LED illuminates 3dB before the internal microphone  
preamplifier stage is overloaded. In this case, be sure to lower the Output Gain until the OVL  
LED goes out.

Setup 1  
This is the simplest setup for recording situations. The guitar amp is connected normally to  
the Transducer. In this case either the Transducer Mic Level Output can be routed to a micro-  
phone preamp or its Line Output can connect to an external line in. Both of these outputs may  
be used simultaneously.

Setup 2  
This is the simplest setup for live applications and when it should be quiet on stage. Connect  
the amp to the Transducer. The guitarist receives a monitoring signal (in-ear or through a  
monitor box) from the Transducer Line Output through the live mixer.  
The PA may also be fed from the mixer or a Transducer output (Line Output, or Mic Level  
Output).

Setup 3  
If an on-stage guitarist wishes to have his cabinet sound, the signal should be routed to his  
box via the Transducer Speaker Thru. In this case the amp signal power is reduced by 8dB  
enroute to the box; here saturation (that is, power amp distortion) begins to occur at moderate  
listening levels.  
The two separate Transducer Line Outputs may be used simultaneously to feed both an FOH  
mixer and monitor mixer.

Setup 4  
If the guitarist does not need the 8dB Speaker Thru signal reduction, he may connect both  
the guitar box and Transducer simultaneously with the guitar amp loudspeaker outputs  
(assuming this is an amp option).  
IMPORTANT ADVICE: In such cases the guitar amp impedance must be reduced by half. For  
example: In connecting to the Transducer (8ohms) and guitar box rated at 8ohms, the guitar  
amp must be set up at 4ohms. The two separate Transducer Line Outputs may be used to  
feed both an FOH mixer and monitor mixer simultaneously.

Leveling the Transducer  
All three Transducer level controls influence output levels. Therefore it is important to under-  
stand their existing mutual effects and the overall results. These controls have been designed  
purposefully with a percentage scaling, as one structured in dB is in fact not possible. The  
input signal itself – coming from the guitar amp – is a power signal that is no longer measur-  
able or depictable in dB. Thus a “0dB” input level is not definable, and thus other levels  
may not be derived from it. Because this reference point is lacking, it is also impossible to  
construct subsequent controls in dB scaling.  
1. As an initial setting, move the Speaker Action, Miking Level and Output Gain controls to  
50%.  
2. In order to provide the following peripherals with proper levels, adjust the Outupt Gain*  
control appropriately.  
3. For desired adjustments to the Transducer sound you have available the four toggle switch  
options provided by Speaker Action and Miking Level controls.  
With a more limited Speaker Action a signal will sound cleaner and have more definition.  
A higher Speaker Action offers stronger compression and more overtones which begin to  
introduce light speaker cone distortion.  
A limited Miking Level provides both more highs and refinement in overtones with some-  
what reduced mids. As Miking Level is increased, the signal thickens. Mids and bass are  
compressed and moved to the foreground.  
4. You can adjust overall level controls that are effected by Speaker Action and Miking Level  
with the Output Gain* control.  
*: The Output Gain control functions only with the Line Outputs. If you are routing from the  
Mic Level Output, use the control in your following mic preamp to adjust the overall level.  
It is important to consider added power amp distortion, as it is the basis for the Transducer‘s  
concept with its ability to process up to a 200 Watt, 8 ohm cabinet-amplified signal. Avoid too  
much mental separation in what should be your integrated Transducer level control thinking,  
as just with past situations that employed traditional guitar amp and cabinets, you must  
consider the interaction with a guitar amp – and here especially in relation to the preamp  
and master gain. This is really the only way you can achieve the effects you‘re looking for (in  
particular, the distortion from pre and power amps).  
Please pay attention to the instructions for connecting guitar amps to the Transducer on  
page 11!  
Presets  
Setting Examples for Clean, Crunch and Lead Sounds  
Just as you would choose a cabinet matching your amp you can use the settings of the  
following presets. Our presets correspond to the respective amps and provide a first orienta-  
tion for your individual settings.  
Speaker Action and Miking Level controls determine both the basic sound and leveling; indi-  
vidual experimentation is always required here. The Transducer delivers a full bandwidth  
signal from 20Hz to 20kHz, so we recommend to create the basic sound without further EQ  
processing first. Once you have found your sound you can go ahead with any desired effects.  
WARNING  
If an amplifier is connected and the Signal LED illuminates though a signal is not present or  
too much noise from the amp is not the reason, the lighted LED can indicate a high frequency  
resonance of the amp.  
In this case turn down the master volume of the amp until the LED goes out. High frequency  
resonances can overload and damage the guitar amp!  
Such problems are not a result of Transducer use, but reside within the guitar amp.
