The Drive#1 section can control the amount of character to
add 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 distortion.
Gain Control
– Bypasses the section when rotated to zero, this control sets the amount of
signal for the first gain stage of the section. Low settings are smoother and higher settings are
more aggressive.
Drive Control
– Sets the amount of distortion by controlling the level between the 2 gain
stages of the section.
Level Control
– Sets the output volume of the section. Higher settings are “bigger” and more 3
dimensional.
DRIVE#2 SECTION
Because the amplifier sections are in series left to right, this section can be driven by the clean
channel or the output of Drive #1.
The section’s range of effect is amazingly flexible because of its
dedicated tone controls.
Gain Control
– Bypasses the section when rotated to zero, this control sets the amount of
signal for the first gain stage of the section. Low settings are smoother and higher settings are
more aggressive.
Drive Control
– Sets the amount of distortion by controlling the level between the 2 gain
stages of the section.
