Elmwood Amps
LET’S MAKE SOME SOUNDS
Boost
The Boost function is a Gain Boost that operates on both Channel 1 and Channel 2.
To activate the Gain Boost; press the switch marked "Boost" on the footswitch so that the
Led lights up. The toggle switch ”Boost" on the front panel should be set to position
"OFF" . This is the footswitch operation mode for the Boost function. ¨
When playing on Channel1 at a clean sound you can add a little distortion by activating
the Boost function. If playing with more distortion on Channel 1 - the Volume knob
adjusted beyond 12 to 1 o'clock - you can go from Blues Rhythm to Blues Lead by
activating the Boost function.
Even with the Boost activated the amplifier will restore its touch sensitivity and dynamics.
When playing on Channel 2 you can go from crunchy Rhythm to singing Lead by
activating the Boost function.
The different settings with the Boost toggle switch
The toggle switch marked "Boost" on the front panel of the amplifier is a three way
switch.
When set to:
ON:
The Boost is activated at all time. This is to be able to activate the Boost without
having the Footswitch connected.
OFF:
This is the default mode when having the Footswitch connected. You can now
switch the Boost on or off by pressing the switch marked Boost on the Footswitch.
Master 1:
When set to this position the Boost will automatically be activated when Master
1 is chosen from the Footswitch (More about Master 1 and Master 2 later).
Even in this position you can still activate / deactivate the Boost function by
pressing the Boost switch on the Footswitch while playing on Master 2 .
Note:
Since the Boost function is a Gain Boost it will not affect
the overall output Volume much.
Note:
The Boost Led on the Footswitch will not light up when
Master 1 is activated .In this mode the Boost might affect the
output Volume . Make sure to adjust the
Master 1 properly.
