OPTIONAL 4 BUTTON FOOTSITCH
TWEED
– When engaged the guitar input is routed to the Tweed channel. The footswitch
button does not work when
the Tweed Channel’s Gain control is pulled because it is a duplicate
function.
DRIVE
– Character Boost feature. When lit, the Drive section of the amplifier is active, not lit,
means the section is bypassed. The footswitch button does not work when the
Drive section’s Gain
control is rotated to zero because it is a duplicate function.
BOOST
– Girth Boost feature, it, adds volume and tone by doing a partial tone stack lift on the
clean channel or a full tone control lift on the Tweed channel. The footswitch button does not work
when:
A.
The Clean channel is active and the Clean preamp’s Bass control is rotated to zero
(because it is a duplicate function).
B.
The Tweed channel is active and the when the Tweed channel’s tone control is rotated
to zero (because it is a duplicate function).
MID (Optional footswitch only)
– Midrange Boost feature. When engaged the size of the
treble capacitor is increased to allow for more upper midrange, at the same time it does a lift of the
midrange control for maximum midrange. The effect can be lessened by pulling the front panel
Volume control which eliminates the midrange control lift. The footswitch button does not work
when position 6 of the rotary MODE switch on the front panel is selected because it is a duplicate
function.
POWER ON/OFF PROCEDURE
1. Check the Standby switch to make sure it is toggled downward for Standby operation.
2. Toggle the main power switch to the up position (this switch is located at the top of the IEC
input module). The front panel pilot light should be lit.
3. Wait one minute and then toggle the Standby switch upwards to the Operate position.
4. POWER OFF
– Toggle the main power switch downward, there is no need to go into
standby first although it will not hurt anything.
