8. Crunch Select
Press this switch to select the Crunch Channel.
9. Crunch Gain
The Crunch Gain control adjusts the amount of the Crunch Channel’s overdrive or
distortion. Low settings, counter clockwise, will deliver a clean sound on the edge
of break-up. As the Crunch Gain control is increased clockwise the sound will
become more overdriven, moving through beautiful crunch tones.
10. Super Crunch Switch
The Super Crunch switch allows the selection between a lower gain crunch with a
looser bass response (Super Crunch – out) and a higher gain crunch setting (Super
Crunch – in), which has a tighter bottom-end for modern rhythm playing.
11. Crunch Volume
This controls the volume of the Crunch Channel. Turning it clockwise increases the
volume.
Clean and Crunch Channel EQ
12. Bass
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low-end frequencies in your tone. This amp
has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows the tone to be tight and cutting,
counter clockwise, to warm and thumping, clockwise.
13. Middle
The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The middle
frequencies are particularly important in setting the amount of ‘body’ your tone has.
With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully counter clockwise) the
sound will be aggressive and scooped, a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing.
As the Middle control is increased (clockwise) the amount of ‘body’ is increased,
which is more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
14. Treble
The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the sound.
At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be warm and darker in character.
As the Treble control is increased (clockwise) the sound will become brighter. At the
maximum settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting.
