Use this in conjunction with the “MV” to set both the volume level and degree of power amplifier saturation. In other words, nail
the vibe and the level!
CHANNEL
switches between the two channels. In the UP position, it is the high-gain tone that made this amplifier famous. In
the DOWN position, the tone is more traditional, not far off from a 2203 or 2204 series amplifier.
Note, that when in the DOWN position, GAIN 2 is not engaged.
“GN2” (GAIN 2)
adjusts the gain in the high gain mode. Specifically, this controls the signal going into the third (of four) gain
stages in the high gain channel.
As mentioned above, when in the low gain mode, GAIN 2 is not active.
“PKR” (PEAKER)
is a high-frequency boost that can be used to add sparkle
and gain
to your tone. In the middle position, PKR
is defeated. In the UP position, it boosts upper mid and high frequencies, and adds noticeable gain. With the toggle switch in
the DOWN position, it boosts extreme high frequencies, and adds less gain boost than the UP position. In conjunction with an
active PKR, lower “GN1” settings will also trim the bottom end. This high frequency boost / low frequency cut is more
prominent as GN1 is turned down.
“GN1” (GAIN 1)
adjusts the signal strength coming out of the first gain stage, and going into the second tube stage. Think of
this as a global “gain” control for both channels. Depending on the PKR setting, you can also use this to shape the high and
low frequency response of your amplifier.
