CONTROL PANEL
A. INPUT 1: Normal sensitivity input ideal for use with most
guitars. Either input jack can be used with any type of
guitar depending on the tonal character you prefer.
Experiment and use the input that sounds best to you.
B. INPUT 2: Lower sensitivity input (-6dB) provides cleaner
response with high-output and pre-amplified guitars. You
can use input 1 and Input 2 simultaneously with two
guitars or a guitar and a microphone, for example. Input
sensitivities become equal when used simultaneously.

tones of NORMAL channel.
