1) GUITAR INPUT: Plug your guitar in
here using a high quality, shielded instru-
ment cable.
2) CHANNEL SELECT: This pushbut-
ton switch is used to step through the chan-
nels in sequential order.
3) CHANNEL 1 VOICING: This group
of three powerful switches gives you the
freedom to TWEAK your tone beyond the
normal EQ controls.
TIGHT: This switch is really GREAT for
tightening up the low end, especially when
pushing the gain. It works by cutting the
deep bass at the beginning of the preamp.
Setting the TIGHT switch to [+] will result
in a clearer, tighter tone.
Setting the switch to [-] will create a fuller,
fatter tone but can tend to get a little
muddy with high gain settings, especially
with humbucking type pickups.
BRIGHT: The [+] setting boosts the high
end. As with most BRIGHT switches,
the effect diminishes with higher settings
of the GAIN knob. Do experiment with dif-
ferent combinations of the BRIGHT on [+]
and TREBLE knob down compared to the
BRIGHT off [-] and the TREBLE up. You
will find that with the BRIGHT on [+] and
the TREBLE down, the tone will be a little
less midrangy compared to the BRIGHT
off [-] and the TREBLE turned up.
GAIN: The [+] setting increases the GAIN
in the preamp. If you are looking for a
huge crystal clean sound set the GAIN
switch to (-). For a more overdriven rock
& roll sort of rhythm, try the [+] setting.
4) CHANNEL 1 GAIN: This controls the
amount of “drive” in the CLEAN chan-
nel. Low settings of the GAIN knob (with
higher settings of the VOLUME knob) will
keep the sound big, full and beautiful. You
can also use higher settings of the GAIN
knob to push the channel into overdrive to
get some really raucous rock & roll crunch
tones. This knob is active when the green
light below it is on.
5) CHANNEL 1 TONE CONTROLS:
This channel features the familiar passive
tone control designs of many revered clas-
sic tube amps. Dial in beautiful, pristine
clean sounds to bold, powerful overdrive
tones. Don’t hesitate to turn the knobs.
You’ll find a vast array of stellar sounds.
6) CHANNEL 1 VOLUME: Adjust the
loudness of CHANNEL 1. The green light
indicates this knob is active.
7) CHANNEL 2 VOICING: This group
of three powerful switches gives you the
freedom to TWEAK your tone beyond the
normal EQ controls.
TIGHT: This switch is really GREAT for
tightening up the low end, especially
when pushing the gain. It works by cutting
the deep bass at the beginning of the pre-
amp. Setting the TIGHT switch to [+] will
result in a clearer, tighter tone. Setting the
switch to [-] will create a fuller, fatter tone
but can tend to get a little muddy with high
gain settings, especially with humbucking
type pickups.
BRIGHT: The [+] setting boosts the
high end. Do experiment with different
combinations of the BRIGHT on [+] and
TREBLE knob down compared to the
BRIGHT off [-] and the TREBLE up. You
will find that with the BRIGHT
on and
the TREBLE down, the tone will be a little
less midrangy compared to the BRIGHT
off and the TREBLE turned up.
GAIN: The [+] setting increases the GAIN
in the preamp. For a mildly overdriven
crunch rhythm sound, try setting the GAIN
to [-]. For a more massively overdriven
tone, set the GAIN to [+].
8) CHANNEL 2 GAIN: This controls
the preamp “drive”. Lower settings of the
GAIN knob (with higher settings of the
VOLUME knob) will produce a mildly
overdriven sound. Great for a powerful
crunch rhythm. Use higher settings of the
GAIN knob to push the channel into over-
drive to get some really raucous rock &
roll crunch tones. Set the GAIN switch to
[+] and crank the GAIN knob for massive
drive and sustain. This knob is active when
the yellow light below it is on.
9) CHANNEL 3 VOICING: This group
of three powerful switches gives you the
freedom to TWEAK your tone beyond the
normal EQ controls.
TIGHT: This switch is really GREAT for
tightening up the low end, especially
when pushing the gain. It works by cutting
the deep bass at the beginning of the pre-
amp. Setting the TIGHT switch to [+] will
result in a clearer, tighter tone.
Setting the switch to [-] will create a
fuller, fatter tone but can tend to get a little
muddy with high gain settings, especially
with humbucking type pickups.
BRIGHT: The [+] setting boosts the
high end. Do experiment with different
combinations of the BRIGHT on [+] and
TREBLE knob down compared to the
BRIGHT off [-] and the TREBLE up.
You will find that with the BRIGHT on and
the TREBLE down, the tone will be a little
less midrangy compared to the BRIGHT
off and the TREBLE turned up.
GAIN: The [+] setting increases the GAIN
in the preamp.
For a mildly overdriven crunch rhythm
sound, try setting the GAIN to [-]. For a
more powerful overdriven tone, set the
GAIN to [+].
