
Crunch – Classic medium gain overdrive

Super Crunch – More gain and punch than Crunch

OD 1 – Hot-rodded Master Volume overdrive


This setting is saved when you store a patch.
3. Gain
The Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion. Low settings (counter
clockwise) will deliver a clean sound on the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is
turned clockwise the sound will become more overdriven, moving through beautiful
crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted tone is achieved. This
setting is saved when you store a patch.
4. Volume
This controls the preamp volume. High levels of volume will introduce the effect of
valve power amp distortion and compression. This setting is saved when you store
a patch.
5. 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). This setting is saved when
you store a patch.
6. 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. This setting is
saved when you store a patch.
