FRONT PANEL LAYOUT
1.
INPUT HIGH/LOW
Insert your guitar into either one of these inputs. The LOW input will
give you more clean headroom and the HIGH will give you more gain.
2.
GAIN control
This controls the preamp volume and will determine the amount of
preamp distortion. For a clean sound, the knob should be set some-
where before 12 o’clock and for more distortion… crank it!
3.
TREBLE control
This controls the high frequencies in your sound—from soft and
smooth when turned down (counter clockwise) to bright and cutting
when cranked (clockwise) and all points in-between.
4.
BASS control
This controls the low frequencies in your sound—from thin and light
when turned down (counter clockwise) to warm and fat when turned
up full (clockwise) and all points in-between.
5.
HOT/COOL Switch
When set to COOL mode the Top Boost channel operates in tradi-
tional fashion with the TREBLE and BASS controls activated and
when set to HOT mode, the tone controls are bypassed providing a
substantial gain boost. HOT mode must be engaged for the footswitch
to work.
NOTE:
When in HOT mode the tone controls still affect the sound slightly.
6.
VOLUME control
This controls the overall volume of your amplifier and because this is
a single ended, class A design it will also have an effect on the amount
of distortion in the power amp.
7.
POWER Switch
This turns the amp on and off! Please ensure the amplifier is switched
off and unplugged before being moved.
8.
Indicator
This will tell you if your amp is on or off!
