Is there an owners manual I can down load for the s500
NOTE: I moved your post (and renamed the topic).
Here's the S-500 control layout (but with the expander switch as a toggle switch). The expander function on yours is when the volume knob is pulled up.
The
tone controls are called the PTB (Passive Treble and Bass
controls). See this post in the G&L Knowledgebase
Re: Is my PTB circuit faulty?.
For setup information, use this Manual, Version 2 AND one of these posts, based upon your bridge type:
Current Factory setups for DF vibrato G&L guitars or
Current Factory setup for G&L guitars with hardtail bridges.
For posting a photo of your new G&L (which is required as proof your guitar exists
) see
Tutorial: Posting photos.
Hope this helps.
