Setting-up a Pedal/Pedal Board  
into a Single Channel

•  Normal Channel - plug in pedal(s) or pedal 

board  for effects that sound good with this 
channel’s warmer tone like some bright 
Overdrive and Distortion Effects.

•  Bright Channel - plug in pedal(s) or pedal 

board when you need the extra punch to 
cut through the rest of the band 

Setting-up a Pedal/Pedal Board  
into a Linked Channel  

•  The link allows you to blend the Normal and 

Bright Channels 

•  Experiment with your pedals to obtain your 

unique sound 

Setting up a Foot-switchable A/B 
box so you can Switch Channels  

A - Normal channel will be warmer

B - Bright channel will be brighter (for 
example, set this up louder than the Normal 
channel so you can instantly switch between 
two very different sounds and levels)

PEDALS LOVE HIWATT

“ The sound of Hiwatt amps is bold, with plenty of headroom and bottom end.  

They are especially great platforms for a pedal based rig.”
