This is where it’s at. Both channels engaged, noise
gate taking the strain, the Tumnus (Ch1) sending
some gorgeous crunch into the Pinnacle (Ch2).
Enjoy. We make no apologies for any time lost
noodling with these settings...

Feeling like laying down some mean and dirty
blues tones? This is where you need to start. Only
Channel 1 is engaged but it sounds so sweet, so
soulful. Put any style of guitar through this and
experience some absolute blues nirvana. Neck
pickups sound especially warm.

Just Channel 2 this time and with a smidge of extra
noise gate you can get very loud with this and
trust us, you will not regret it. Sharp and brutal but
still cutting through your mix - this setup sounds
particularly fantasic with a “Tele style” guitar
snarling through it.
The Fat and the Furious
The Fat and the Furious
Get both channels engaged, put your seatbelt
on, and prepare for some gorgeous fat harmonics
and soaring tones. Andy loves playing his “Strat
style” guitars through this setting - seems to bring
out the best in those single coils with signature
smoothness and power...almost nostalgic in tone.
