B-52 LS-100 FEATURES
The B-52 LS-100 represents the latest in the ever expanding line of highly
acclaimed B-52 guitar amps. New, user-friendly features combined with the
latest advancements in preamp technology makes the LS-100 an outstand-
ing choice for the professional player and the weekend warrior. The clean
channel now has the innovative B-52 “Mid Cut” feature. This pushbutton
allows you to select the classic, warm vintage sound or a pristine, almost
acoustic-like tone with tons of headroom. The overdrive channels go from
moderate classic breakup to monstrous gain, totally controllable thanks to
the individual gain and master controls for each overdrive mode. The over-
drive channels now feature the new, B-52 assignable Contour control. This
allows you to preset the Contour control and have it automatically activate
on the gain channel of your choice. You can set one overdrive channel for
a punchy midrange tone with the Contour off and turn the Contour on the
other overdrive channel for a massive, totally scooped out metal tone.
