Front Panel Functions
1.
Input Jack
High impedance input to the amplifier. Plug in your instrument here.
2.
Treble Control (Clean & Lead)
- Adjusts the high frequency response. In the full counter-
clockwise position, high frequencies are bypassed to ground. In the full clockwise position, high
frequencies are allowed to pass to the next stage.
3.
Middle Control (Clean & Lead)
- Adjusts the mid-range response. In the full counter-clockwise
position, the tone will b
e somewhat “scooped” of mid-range response, emphasizing the highs and
lows. In the full clockwise position, mid-range frequencies are allowed to pass to the gain stage.
4
. Bass Control (Clean & Lead)
- Adjusts the bass response. In the full counter-clockwise
position, low frequencies are cut. In addition, the response of the treble and mid-range controls is
greatly reduced. In the full clockwise position, low frequencies are allowed to pass to the gain
stage.
5.
Input Gain (Clean & Lead)
- Adjusts the overall gain of the amplifier. Start with this control in
the 12 o’clock position
6.
Master Volume (Clean & Lead)
- Adjusts the output level of the clean and lead channels.
The Lead Channel can be activated by pulling the Lead Master control
.
7.
Reverb (Clean & Lead)
- The front panel reverb control is the return, or mix, control. The
reverb effect is defeated with this control in the full counter clockwise position.
8.
Boost (Clean & Lead)
-
Adjusts a “Solo” option, increasing the volume of each channel. It does
not alter the gain or tone structure. These controls must be set to a level greater than the Master
Volumes to be effective.
Both Clean and Lead Boosts are Foot-Switchable and can be
activated by pulling the Boost Controls.
9.
Contour (Clean & Lead)
-
The contour control is an active wide band sweep. In the 12 o’clock
position, the amps’ frequency response is flat. Counterclockwise rotation reduces high end
response and increases low frequencies. Counterclockwise rotation decreases low end and
increases the high frequency response. This control is very useful for maintaining preamp tone
control settings, while allowing a global adjustment to compensate for differences in room
acoustics, speaker cabinets, or bright to dark guitars (PRS Humbucker to Strat, for example). This
control also actively reduces the articulation available, allowing a softer setting or extremely open
and revealing, depending on your individual style and requirements.
10.
Stand-by Switch
- Should
be in the “down” or “stand-by” position when you apply power to the
