Without tone controls of any kind, the Champ is about as simple as it gets. To emulate this tone, set Bass
and Treble at ‘0’ and Mid at ‘10’. If you don’t have access to a 6” driver or IR, turn Alt EQ on and use a
single 10” or 12” driver.

This Champ model has a lot more going on with it’s full EQ and an “Overdrive” Channel. Turning EQ Shift
on will simulate the Champ 12’s “Mid Boost” function.
NOTE:
The MGP-1A can’t model the Overdrive channel, but a reasonable approximation will be from Cali,
Mod off, with the Bright Switch turned on. Use the EQ Shift for the “Mid Boost” again here too.
