P a g e
The Master Volume control is positioned after the phase splitter valve and so turning up
the Input Volume control allows for overdriving the first part of the power output stage.
Reverb Volume
The V140 has a built-in full-length valve-driven Spring Reverb and this control varies the
amount of Reverb added to the guitar signal.
Reverb Tone.
This control adjusts the high frequency content of the built-in spring Reverb. Again,
please experiment to get the desired effect.
Bass
The Bass controls the low frequency content of your sound. Higher levels of bass can be
good at low volumes, but take care when running the amp louder
–
you may find you
need to reduce the bass control. As with all the EQ pots, adjust to taste!
Mid Kick switch
Works with the middle EQ pot for two additional levels of stronger, more focussed upper
mids, either clean or driven. 1 is a subtle kick, 2 is more strident and projecting.
Middle
Controls the midrange frequencies in your sound. Run the middle control higher to help
cut through a band mix, or generally fatten and ‘widen’ your sound. Run it lower for a
lighter, less ‘in
-your-
face’ k
ind of sound.
Voice I/II switch
Switched to Voice I, the V140 has a relatively flat response for an American Style sound.
Switching to Voice II adds more upper mid-range frequencies into the mix for a more
traditional British Style sound.
Treble
Controls the high frequency content of your sound and is also a powerful tone shaper
when it comes to overdrive character.
