The ¼” mono instrument cable that leaves your guitarʼs jack plugs into the Twin
Tube Classicʼs jack marked “Input.” The cable that exits from the “Output” jack on
the Twin Tube Classic goes to the next effect in the signal chain, or to the amplifier.
When first activating the Twin Tube Classic, start with the Rhythm Channel Volume
and Gain control knobs in the full counter-clockwise position. Then, start rotating
the knobs clockwise until the desired volume level and overdrive are achieved.
Next, with the Lead Channel Volume and Gain control knobs in the full counter-
clockwise position, depress the Channel Selector switch. This mutes the Rhythm
Channel and activates the Lead Channel. As with the Rhythm Channel, start
rotating the knobs clockwise until the desired volume level and distortion are
achieved, relative to the Rhythm Channel and to the bypassed sound of the Twin
Tube Classic.
Experiment with different Volume and Gain settings. Some of the coolest tones
are achieved with a little discovery. Because of the Twin Tube Classicʼs incredible
amount of gain and distortion in the Lead Channel, be aware that extreme settings
can result in uncontrollable feedback. And, as always, musicians and audience
members are best advised to use ear protection when exposed to loud volume.
Here are some sample settings to get your started:
