amplifiers deliver the tone and features that
today’s musicians demand:
• Two channels with independent tone controls.
• Switchable “More Drive” pre-amp boost for
harmonically rich leads.
• 160 watts of output power @ 4 ohms
(100 watts @ 8 ohms).
• Rear panel Effects Loop jacks for connection
to external effects devices or “add-on” ampli-
fiers.
