RedPlate BlackVerbDuo Operations Guide

CLEAN PREAMP SECTION
The Clean Preamp is designed to imitate (and surpass) all of the “classic” guitar amp preamps.
The BlackVerbDuo gives the player the ability to do two unique things:
1. Shift the midrange center point frequency.
2. Select the amount of Bass gain appropriate to your guitar choice (via Humbucker/Single coil
switch covered in the
Rear Panel
Section of this manual).
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. Pulls to
switch the Tweed Boost to a more conventional Mid Boost (this topic is covered in the
Other
Features
Section of this manual).
Treble Control
-
Adjusts highs (also upper midrange when the Tweed Boost is engaged).
Middle Control
–
Controls the amount of Midrange frequencies, somewhat interactive with
the Bass Control. Pulls to enable “Deep” which scoops some midrange frequencies and
emphasizes Bass (makes your electric sound more like an acoustic).
Bass Control
– Sets the amount of low end. Can be rotated to zero where it clicks off for a full
tone stack lift.
Mode Selector
– A six position rotary switch, it steps through 5 progressively fatter positions of
the midrange center frequency and achieves maximum fat midrange by engaging Tweed Boost in
position 6 (see the
Other Features
section of this manual for details).
EDGE DRIVE SECTION
The EDGE Drive section is used to add character
to the clean tone. The section’s range of
effect can be just a hint of early break up or a full on aggressive heavy metal rock style distortion.
