Activating
in the Clean channel increases the gain level significantly, enough
to push the preamp into overdrive. This brings out and tightens up the middle
frequencies to conjure a more assertive sound for classic-style rhythm workouts.
Activating
in the Lead kicks up the gain level considerably, saturating the
preamp to give you far more sustain and much thicker tone. This means you can coax
blazing lead tone out of the amp without having to connect an outboard gain
enhancer or overdrive pedal. And the sound quality may well send your stomp-boxes
into retirement.
