OVERDRIVE SECTION
DRIVE LEVEL
The Overdrive 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
more aggressive distortion.
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.
MASTER SECTION
MASTER PRESENCE
Master Volume
– This control sets the overall volume of the amplifier.
Presence Control
– The presence circuit uses global negative feedback to remove low frequencies which frees up bandwidth for more
midrange and highs. Think of it as a tone control to balance the relationship between highs and lows, especially when the amplifier is
naturally producing increased low end at louder volumes.
