CRUNCH
This is the amp type to use when you want lightly
overdriven crunch tones. The CRUNCH model simulates
the type of vintage tube amplifiers that are favored for
blues, rock, soul, R&B, and similar styles.
1 Normal/Bright
Selects a normal or bright tonal character.
The [Bright] setting emphasizes the high-frequency
overtones.
2 GAIN
Adjusts the input level applied to the preamp stage.
Rotate clockwise to increase the amount of overdrive
produced.
3 TREBLE/MIDDLE/BASS
These three controls adjust the amplifier’s tonal response
in the high, middle, and low frequency ranges.
4 PRESENCE
Can be adjusted to emphasize the high frequencies and
overtones.
5 OUTPUT
Adjusts the final output level.
DRIVE
The DRIVE amp type provides a selection of distortion
sounds that simulate the tonal character of various
highgain tube amplifiers. From mildly overdriven crunch to
heavy distortion suitable for hard rock, heavy metal, or
hardcore styles, this model offers a wide range of sonic
capabilities.
1
AMP TYPE
Six amplifier types are provided. Types 1 and 2 feature
relatively mild distortion that allows picking nuances to
come through naturally. Types 3 and 4 have more
pronounced overtones, resulting in a fat, soft tone. Types
5 and 6 deliver wilder, aggressive distortion with a tight
attack. The even-numbered amp types have greater
presence and range than the odd-numbered types.
2
GAIN
Adjusts the input level applied to the preamp stage.
Rotate clockwise to increase the amount of distortion
produced
3

4
TREBLE/MIDDLE/BASS

in the high, middle, and low frequency ranges.
5
PRESENCE

overtones.
6
OUTPUT

LEAD
The LEAD amp type simulates a high-gain tube amp that
is rich in overtones. It is ideally suited to playing lead
guitar lines that will project well in an ensemble, but it can
also be set up for crisp accompaniment tones as well.
1 High/Low
Selects the amp output type.
The [High] setting simulates a high-output amp, and
allows the creation of more distorted tones.
2 GAIN

Rotate clockwise to increase the amount of distortion
produced.
3 MASTER
Adjusts the output level from the preamp stage.
4 TREBLE/MIDDLE/BASS
