Middle control is increased (clockwise) the amount of ‘body’ is increased, which is
more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
20. 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.
21. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
The patented ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass,
Middle and Treble controls. It allows you to choose the exact
tonal signature you prefer. Fully counter clockwise has a
more American characteristic with a tight bottom-end and
more aggressive middle, and fully clockwise has a British
characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.
Unlike conventional ‘contour’ controls and parametric equalisation systems, the
Bass, Middle and Treble controls remain interactive with each other just like in a
traditional guitar amplifier tone stack. This leads to a very familiar, musical response.

22. Reverb
The Reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb effect. With the control fully
counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase
the amount of reverb.
23. Resonance
The Resonance control sets the overall bass response of the amplifier. At lower
settings the cleans will be tight and funky and overdrives will be focussed in their
bass response. At increased settings the clean sounds will become full and warm,
whilst the crunch and overdrive tones will be more bass heavy and resonant.
24. Presence
The Presence control sets the overall treble response of the amplifier. Percussive
high-end can be accentuated on clean sounds and the amount of aggressive treble
controlled with crunch and overdrive settings.
25. Volume
This controls the overall volume of your amplifier. Turning it clockwise increases the
volume.
26. Power Indicator Light
The power indicator will light when the amplifier is switched on.
27. Standby
This switch enables the output stage. Always turn this switch on at least 30 seconds
after the Power switch (28). During short breaks in playing use just this switch to
turn ‘off’ and ‘on’ the amplifier’s output.
28. Power
This switch is used to turn the amplifier on and off. You should always turn this
switch on before turning on the Standby switch (27).
Rear Panel
1. Mains Fuse
The value of the Mains Fuse is specified on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the
incorrect value or attempt to bypass it.
2. Mains Input
The supplied detachable mains lead is connected here. The lead should only be
connected to a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage, power and frequency
requirements stated on the rear panel. If in doubt get advice from a qualified technician.
3. H.T. Fuse
The value of the H.T. Fuse is specified on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the
incorrect value or attempt to bypass it.
4. Speaker Outputs
The output marked ‘1x16 Ohm’ is for the connection of a single 16 Ohm extension
speaker cabinet.
The outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ are for the connection of either a
single 8 Ohm extension cabinet or two 16 Ohm cabinets.
The outputs marked ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8 Ohm’ are for the connection of either a single
4 Ohm extension cabinet or two 8 Ohm cabinets. Also, the internal loudspeaker of
the HT Stage 60 combo can be plugged in here if it is used with an 8 Ohm extension
cabinet.See table below.

WARNING:
The output marked ‘1x16 Ohm’ should never be used at the same
time as any of the outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ or ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8
Ohm’ outputs. The outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ or ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8
Ohm’ outputs should never be used at the same time. Failure to correctly match the
impedance of the amplifier and speakers will damage the amplifier.
