MASSIVE
Speaker selector
EFX LOOP
The EFX-LOOP sockets (4-rear and 5-rear) are used to connect sound effects in
the preamp path. They are led out after the EQ. and DRIVE section, are mainly
used for effects such as Delay, Octaver, Volume Pedal, Noise Gate and
Equalizer. The SEND in EFX LOOP section sends a signal to the external effect
INPUT, while the RETURN is used to connect the signal return from the external
effect OUTPUT.
The MASSIVE option that's a unique feature of the amp, which makes the guitar
sound very saturated with a great sustain. MASSIVE is activated by a switch (12-
front). In the middle position MASSIVE is OFF, in positions 1 and 2 two different
saturation levels are to choose from. MASSIVE perfectly complements guitar
sound, especially improves the performance of Single Coil pickups. The signal
of this pickups usually is too weak to achieve strong distortion. MASSIVE
changes this situation, making each configuration of pickups sounding much
richer and warmer.
The amplifier is equipped with an unique feature that allows connect not only a
guitar cabinet but also a full-range PA as well as a Hi-Fi cabinet. The analog
module with the SPEAKER CABINET SELECTOR switch is used to choose one
of the options.
If a guitar cabinet has to be used, set the switch (9-front) to the GUITAR position,
if a broadband cabinet, set the switch
(9-front) in the FULL RANGE position. Then the simulation of a guitar cabinet will
be turned on, which will make the guitar sound on a PA (or Hi-Fi ) cabinet the
same as throughout guitar cabinet.
If a full-range speaker is used, the background music signal played from the
BLUETOOTH device will be reproduced as recorded, in full range (wide-band)
but the guitar will join the backing track with its own path with a sound
characteristic of a guitar cabinet.
The amplifier detects the impedance of the speaker itself, adjusting the
parameters of the amplifier to the connected cabinet. 4-8-16ohm speakers can
be use, in each case the amplifier power remains at the same level.
