Channel Select Switch
Use this switch to select between the Clean Channel and the overdrive Channel. When
the footswitch is plugged in it overrides this switch and channel selection is done
through the footswitch alone.
Overdrive Gain and Volume
The Gain control controls the amount of tube saturation in your sound and the volume control
controls the level sent to Master control.
Tone Controls and Vintage/Modern Switch
The Treble, Bass, and Middle tone controls are to help you shape your sound. The
Vintage/Modern switch will give you two choices for the range of frequencies that the
tone controls work in.
Reverb Control
The Reverb control adjusts the overall reverb level. The YGL2 is equipped with an
Accutronics® spring reverb for authentic vintage reverb.
Amp In / Out Send & Return Jacks
The Amp In and Amp Out (send and return) jacks of the
YGL2
allow convenient use of external
effect units. Simply connect a 1/4-inch phone cable to the Send jack of the
YGL2
and then connect
this cable to the Input of your effects unit. To send the processed signal back to the
YGL2
, connect
the output of the effects unit to the Return jack of the
YGL2
.
The Amp Out (send) Jack can also be used as a direct line out (preamp-out). The -10dBu
output is ideal for most guitar effects pedals and professional signal processors. You can
also use this output to slave the YGL2 with another guitar amplifier by plugging into the
Amp In (return) jack of the slave amplifier.
The 1/4 inch TRS Amp In (return) jack is usually used as the return for your effects loop. It
allows an input signal to pass directly to the power amplifier. The master Volume control section
regulates the signal, so you can add Reverb.
Footswitch Jack
Connecting a footswitch to the 1/4-inch TRS Footswitch jack will allow you to defeat the
internal reverb or add a 6dB gain boost to the overall level for a quick solo boost.
The switching is accomplished with internal FETs so there is no audio flowing through the
footswitch cable. Footswitch-induced noise is never an issue. The YGL2 is compatible with
most aftermarket latching dual-footswitch pedals.
External Speaker Jack
The chassis mounted ¼ inch jacks allow convenient connection of an 8-ohm external speaker
cabinet. If you disconnect the internal 12-inch Celestion® speaker, you can connect up to two
8 ohm external cabinets.
