2.0 JACKS AND CONTROL FEATURES
2.1. FRONT PANEL:
INPUT: Input sensitivity is broad enough to handle guitars
equipped with humbuckers, active pickups, or single coils.
CLEAN VOL: Determines the CLEAN channel's volume.
Depending on the type of pickups in your instrument, the
amp will begin to clip somewhere around the 12 o'clock
setting (SoftClick).
CHANNEL SELECT: This channel selector switch activates
either the CLEAN or LEAD channel. The LEAD channel is
active when the button is pressed.
RED LEAD LED: The red LED illuminates when the LEAD
channel is active.
LEAD GAIN: Controls the amount of distortion in the LEAD
channel.
LEAD MASTER: Determines the LEAD channel volume level
in relation to the CLEAN channel volume level.
EQ SECTION: Common BASS, MID and TREBLE controls for
the both channels. MID and TREBLE controls influence each
other, as is standard in tube amps: if you boost the treble,
the mids are cut and vice versa. This sound-shaping feature
allows you to dial in a wide variety of subtle tonal variati-
ons.
REVERB: Controls how much integrated reverb is added to
the signal. Reverb is automatically adjusted for each chan-
nel when you switch channels.
MASTER: Controls the amp‘s master volume level. The LINE
OUT signal is unaffected by the MASTER control.
LINE OUT: Use this jack to feed the signal to the input of an
FX processor. You can also route the signal to a second
power amp or through a RED BOX to a mixing console.
LINE IN: If you are sending the LINE OUT signal to an FX
processor, connect the output from that processor to this
jack.
FOOTSWITCH: This jack is for a standard footswitch (e.g.
Hughes & Kettner FS-1) and it allows you to switch back
and forth between the CLEAN and LEAD channels. When
using a footswitch, ensure the CHANNEL SELECT switch on
the amp‘s front panel is set to CLEAN.
PHONES: Headphone jack. The speaker is automatically
switched off when a plug is inserted into this jack.
2.2 REAR PANEL:
MAINS: Connect the included Euro-norm mains cord to this
socket. Ensure the amp's voltage rating matches your local
AC voltage rating before you plug the cord into the wall
socket.
