BlackVerb Jr
Operations Manual
Welcome to the RedPlate Family, thank you for your purchase of a RedPlate BlackVerb Jr
amplifier. Please take a moment and review this manual for an understanding of all the
available features (or just put all the knobs at noon and play).
This Manual applies to BlackVerb Jr models produced after 011/01/2013.

FRONT PANEL:
Input Jack
– Typical High impedance input to the amplifier. Designed to be “Pedal Friendly” for
use with all your favorite pedal choices.
The Clean Preamp is designed to imitate (an
d surpass) all of the “classic” guitar amp preamps.
The BlackVerb Jr preamp gives the player the ability to do two unique things:
1. Shift the midrange center point frequency.
2. Do a full tone stack lift. (See
Bass Control description
).
Bright Switch
– Center = OFF, Down = sound of new strings, Up = normal Bright response.
Volume
–
Typical setting is between 3 and 5 but experimentation is encouraged
Treble Control
-
Adjusts highs (also upper midrange when the Mode Switch is rotated to
position 6).
Middle Control
–
Controls the amount of Midrange frequencies, somewhat interactive with
the Bass Control.
