The Front Panel:

Channel A and B are independent of each other up to the DSP and
CD inputs. The text below (#1–9) applies to both channels.

1. INPUT: Connect the output signal from your guitar here by means of

a shielded instrument cable.

2. VOLUME: Use this control to set the clean channel’s output signal

level.

3. CLEAN/OVERDRIVE: Use this switch to select the clean channel

(switch in the out position) or the overdrive channel (switch
depressed).

4. OD GAIN: Use this control to set the overdrive channel’s input sig-

nal gain. This control works in conjunction with the level control (#8)
to set the amount of distortion and the output signal level of the
overdrive channel.

5. TREBLE: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level of the

output signal. This control has a range of 27dB of boost or cut at
12kHz.

6. MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange frequency level of the

output signal. This control has a range of 20dB of boost or cut at
1.5kHz.

7. BASS: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level of the out-

put signal. This control has a range of 28dB of boost or cut at 40Hz.

8. OD LEVEL: Use this control to set the overdrive channel’s output

signal level. (Works in conjunction with the gain control, #4.)

9. EFFECTS: Use this control to set the amount of DSP effects applied

to the output signal.

10. DSP MODE: Use this control to select the type of digital signal pro-

cessing effect(s) applied to the output signal. Each effect and its
location is called out by the markings around the control. The effects
are as described as follows:

BYPASS:

No effect

DELAY 1:

Short delay effect

DELAY 2:

Long delay effect

FLANGE:

Light flanging effect

CHO 1:

Slow chorus effect

CHO 2:

Fast chorus effect

CHO+REV:

Slow chorus effect with reverberation

REV 1:

Small room reverberation

REV 2:

Large hall reverberation

11. DSP LEVEL: Use this control to set the amount of digital effect

applied to the output signal.

12: CD INPUTS LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the level of the signal

applied to the the CD input jacks (#13).

13. CD INPUT JACKS: Use these jacks to connect the output of a CD

or tape player to the amp. (The jacks are internally summed to cre-
ate a mono signal.)

14. HEADPHONES: Use these jacks to connect one or two pairs of

stereo headphones to the amplifier. When the headphones are
used, the internal speaker is disconnected.

15. LED: This LED illuminates when the amplifier is on.

16. POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on and off. The ampli-

fier is on when the top of the switch is depressed; off when the bot-
tom of the switch is depressed.

17. AC LINE CORD(rear panel, not shown)Plug this cord into a prop-

erly wired, grounded, 120 volt, 60 cycle AC outlet. DO NOT attempt
to defeat the ground connection of this power cord! 
If your ampli-
fier was purchased outside of the United States, see the unit’s rear
panel labeling for its power rating, and follow the above guidelines.
