HI INPUT:

.  

:  

 It is useful to experiment with the gain and volume controls.  If you want a 

very open, warm and semi overdriven sound try reducing the amount of gain (3) and increasing the volume.  This reduces pre

  ‘Hi’ stands for high gain.  This input is designed for the connection of low output level guitars making it well suited 

for guitars with single coiled or low gain humbucker type pickups.  Use of high gain pickups in this input may drive the preamp 
too hard causing a "mushy" sound

.

  Only use good quality guitar cable.

Lo’ stands for low gain.  This input is attenuated down approximately 50% from the Hi input and is designed for 

high output level guitars.  It is useful in obtaining output that is "tight" not "mushy" from high gain humbucker type pickups  
Also use this input for the cleanest full range sound with extended low end response. Only use good quality guitar cable.

GAIN:

 Sets the level of tube preamplifier gain or how dirty your sound is for the drive channel - Channel B.  This channel is 

designed to produce full stack style distortion.   This control should be used in conjunction with the Volume (4) Setting a low 
gain level and medium Volume will give a nice crisp bluesy lead tone, again with the ability to drive the output stage at higher 
Volume settings.  Setting a medium level on the Gain control and a medium setting on the Volume will give you a punchy hard 
rock lead tone, with the ability to again drive the output tubes at higher Volume settings, while setting a high level on the Gain 
control and a low setting on the Volume will give you a full on metal lead tone, with the ability to again drive the output tubes at 
higher Volume settings   Having set the Gain and Volume controls to your desired sound try backing off your guitar volume and 
tone controls for lots of other cool sounds.  Good tube amplifiers have the unique ability to produce a wide range of sounds by 
using only your guitar controls, playing weight and style.

Sets the overall ‘loudness’ of Channel B
