White Amp
White is based on an all­round great amp, a classic that set the industry standard for
classic, distorted rock'n'roll sounds. The genius is
its simplicity. It's stripped down to the bare
essentials – all tubes, only one channel, and no
reverb or any other built­in effects.
Sound­wise, it goes from mad screaming preamp
shred, to warm, speakers­about­to­break power
­
amp distortion. Perfect when you need a charact
­
eristically distorted edge and a powerful roar.
First Usage
Set all parameters in the middle (12 o'clock).
Turn down the
Master Volume a little bit (to 10
o'clock) and play your guitar while changing the Pre Amp Volume . The sound goes from
almost Hi­Fi clean on low Pre Amp Volume settings, to a crunchy distortion ( Pre Amp
Volume in the middle), and finally to a high­gain setting with Pre Amp Volume on max. If
you want an even meaner distortion, turn down the Middle and turn up the Master
Volume .
Tip: The sound will change quite dramatically when you start moving the mic
away from the cabinet, since certain frequencies will cancel each other out
due to interference between the four speaker drivers.
