LOW GAIN Function
The LOW GAIN function is accessible in configurations which display “L-GAIN” in the configuration title. The preamp
stage in these configurations provides four distortion types, and can also be used for clean tones.

ESCRIPTION
The GAIN parameter determines the amount of gain in the distortion stage.
The DISTORTION TYPE parameter allows you to select between four different distortion types — Solid
State, Pentode, Triode A and Triode B. The Solid State setting provides the hardest clipping, while the
Pentode type provides a softer clipping and the Triode A and B types provide the softest clipping. Triode
A emulates a triode tube operating in Class A, with non-symmetrical clipping — and therefore more even
harmonics produced. Triode B emulates a pair of triode tubes operating in Class B, with symmetrical
clipping. The differences between these types are most pronounced at moderate gain settings of about 30dB
or less, where Triode B produces the least amount of upper harmonics.
The post BASS LEVEL parameter adjusts the amount of low frequency information at the output of the
current preset. This parameter is also accessible from the “Post EQ (Expert)” function. (In the Post EQ
function, the center frequency and bandwidth of this EQ section are also adjustable.)
The post MID LEVEL parameter adjusts the amount of mid frequency information at the output of the
current preset. This parameter is also accessible from the “Post EQ (Expert)” function. (In the Post EQ
function, the center frequency and bandwidth of this EQ section are also adjustable.)
The post TREBLE LEVEL parameter adjusts the amount of high frequency information at the output of the
current preset. This parameter is also accessible from the “Post EQ (Expert)” function. (In the Post EQ
function, the center frequency and bandwidth of this EQ section are also adjustable.)
The post PRESENCE LEVEL parameter also adjusts the amount of high frequency information at the
output of the current preset. This parameter is also accessible from the “Post EQ (Expert)” function. (In the
Post EQ configuration, the center frequency and bandwidth of this EQ section are also adjustable.)
