Advanced Features
Your ID:Core amplifier has further advanced features which are aimed at more in-
depth users who enjoy getting the most from their amplifier. These features do
not have independent controls on the front panel of the amplifier, but instead are
accessed by using the Tap switch (14) as a ‘shift key’ and using other controls to
access these features.
Resonance – Tap + Bass
The Resonance control sets the overall bass response. At lower settings the cleans
will be tight and funky and overdrives will be focused in their bass response. At
increased settings the clean sounds will be become full and warm, whilst the crunch
and overdrive tones will be more bass heavy and resonant.
Presence – Tap + Treble
The Presence control sets the overall treble response. Percussive high-end can be
accentuated on clean sounds and the amount of aggressive treble controlled with
crunch and overdrive settings.
USB Recording Level – Tap + Gain
As stated in the USB Audio section (see page 15), the output level of the USB audio
signal from your ID:Core amplifier can be controlled independently of your amplifier’s
speaker volume by holding down the Tap switch (14) whilst turning the Gain control
(3) on the front panel.
Effect Speed/Time – Tap + Effects Level
As stated in the Effect Level section (see page 11), the speed/time of the modulation
and delay effects can be controlled by holding down the Tap switch (14) whilst
turning the Effect Level control (13) on the front panel. This can be very useful for
setting a specific accurate effect tempo instead of using the Tap switch.
Global Emulated Output/Headphones Level – Tap + Volume
This controls the overall output volume of the Emulated Out/Phones connection,
allowing you to tailor the level to best suit the connected device, whether audio
interface, PA system or headphones of various impedance. This control can both
cut and boost the level, with the halfway position of the Volume knob (4) being the
default volume.
