5.2.2. Double Channel Preamp Section and Output
The preamp section in the Double Channel configuration, besides having doubled the
controls we saw in the Single Channel configuration, also has some extra buttons to select
the special working modes we have available with this configuration.
It is located on the right side of the control panel, as was the case in the Single Channel. On
top, we have two VU meters, one for each channel. Their behavior and calibration is
exactly
the same as we described [p.31]
for the one present in the Single Channel.
Right below the VU meters, we have the Input Gain knobs. Again, we now have two, one
for each channel. These knobs control the saturation level (drive) added to the sound. Their
values go from -80dB to -20dB with the default position in -80dB. When we increase this
value, we increase the saturation level.
Below the Input Gain knobs, we have the Output Trim knobs. Like it happens in the Single
Channel configuration, these control the overall volume for each channel, and go from -24dB
to +24dB. Default value is 0dB (no change in volume).
Again, when we work in Stereo (the Stereo Link button is On) any change we make in one
of these knobs will be automatically reflected in the other.
Below the Output Trim knobs, we have a pair of switches for the Transformer type. These do
exactly the same thing the corresponding switch does in the Single Channel. Theoretically,
we can have a different type of transformer for each channel. Although this is possible, it
isn't at all natural, and perhaps even undesirable, so, it's probably better to have the same
Transformer type for both channels.
Below these switches, we have the Stereo Link switch. This is a very important one. It
changes the behavior of the Double Channel configuration. By default, it is On, which means
we are working in Stereo mode.
