Yes that is a PITA. Speaking of that, does anyone know of a workaround for it? How the hell do you bypass that microprocessor? I just talked to Stephen over at Zed Audio (My G5's and SE6100 are over there for tuneups), and he said he's fixed the Grenades up nicely other than he can't get them to power up because of those stupid pins! I could really use detailed instructions on how to bypass that circuit so I can forward them to him. Also if anyone has any wiring diagrams or info that might be helpful to him when going through the SE6100 that would be extremely helpful. Thanks. Zac.

yeah, i used to have a few of the se series 2 and series 3 amps and crossovers back in the day. they were really good in my opinion. i will see if i can did up the manual for it, its a long shot but I might still have one laying around. As far as bridging goes you need to connect one channel to another with a jumper (speaker wire) and use an isolator on one channel of the rca input if I remember correctly.

Hey Blackwidow, can't PM you yet so I thought I'd post here, I've got a mono blade amp that's having some problems and I can't find a manual anywhere. It powers up fine, then the front light blinks on and off, and every 10 seconds or so it will bump the sub it is hooked up to but otherwise there is no output. Any thoughts?

I went to a local thrift shop and found one of these Blade Avanti VTH100 Tube amp. It's in near mint shape. Works perfect, few blemishes ontop, nothing big.
One of the hardest amps to come by.
There was only 25 of them ever made before the company went bankrupt.
Made in Canada. Retail was $3000 Back in 1993.

Blade Avanti VTH100

This one sold last year for $1026 !
