Front Panel 

The KTG- I Tube guitar preamp is designed to operate at the beginning of a rack system. It will 
generate a wide range of guitar sounds, from super clean to radical overdrive. The above front 
panel shows a basic set - up of clean and distorted rhythm and lead sounds. 
 
 

 

Channel and Tone Settings

 

For clean rhythm, use Channel One with no boost engaged. Add "Pull Boost" for clean solos, and 
clean rhythm with a touch of grit. Use Channel Two with no boost engaged for distorted rhythm or 
lead. Add Channel Two” Pull Boost" for fatter, more saturated rhythm or lead tone. Add Channel 
Two "Crunch Boost" for super high-gain solo tone. By experimenting, you can discover which 
combinations will work best for the sounds you need. See the settings on page 

1. 

 
 
 

Channel Switching and Gain Boost Functions 

Channel Switching and Gain Boost functions can be accessed 3 ways; 
1. Manually from the front panel of the KTG- 1 
2. Via the optional Four Function Programmable Footswitch 
3. By using the optional Adapter Cable with any programmable 

MIDI switching device (see page 6)  

Note:

 Any standard 1/4" phone SPST

 

Footswitch will change channels, but can't activate 

the Gain Boost function.
