10. Treble (OD Channel)
The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the
sound. At low settings (CCW) the sound will be warm and darker in character. As the
Treble control is increased (CW) the sound will become brighter. At the maximum
settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting.
11. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
The ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle and Treble controls. It
allows you to choose the exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully CCW has a more
American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more aggressive middle, and
fully CW has a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.
12. Reverb (HT-5R and HT-5RH only)
The Reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb effect. With the control fully
counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase
the amount of reverb. The HT-5R features digital stereo reverb as found on the HT
Venue Series and HT-1R adding a rich depth to any playing style.
13. Power Indicator Light
The power indicator will light when the amplifier is switched on.
14. Standby
This switch enables the operation of the power amp stage and speaker output.
Always turn this on at least 30 seconds after the Power switch (15). For silent
recording or practise this switch should be put in the standby position. This will
disable the power stage, but the emulated output will continue to work.
15. Power
This switch is used to turn the amplifier on and off. You should always turn this
switch on before turning on the Standby switch (14).
Rear Panel
1. Mains Input
The supplied detachable mains lead is connected here. The lead should only
be connected to a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage, power and
frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. If in doubt get advice from a
qualified technician.
2. Speaker Outputs
The output marked ‘1x16 Ohm’ is for the connection of a single 16 Ohm external
speaker cabinet. The outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ are for the connection

Front Panel
1. Input
Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.
2. Clean Volume
This controls the volume of the Clean Channel. Turning it clockwise increases
the volume.
3. Clean Tone
The Tone control allows adjustment of the balance between treble and bass
frequencies within the sound. At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be
warmer and darker in character. As the Tone control is rotated clockwise the sound
will become brighter.
4. Overdrive Select
Press this switch to select the Overdrive Channel.
5. Overdrive Indicator
When the red LED is on the Overdrive Channel is selected. When the LED is off the
Clean Channel is in operation.
6. Overdrive Gain
The Gain control adjusts the amount of the Overdrive Channel’s overdrive or
distortion. Low settings, counter clockwise (CCW), will deliver a clean sound on
the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound
will become more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum
position, a full distorted lead tone is arrived at.
7. Overdrive Volume
This controls the volume of the Overdrive Channel. Turning it clockwise increases
the volume.
8. Bass (OD Channel)
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low end frequencies in your tone. This amp
has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows the tone to be tight and cutting,
(CCW), to warm and thumping (CW).
9. Middle (OD Channel)
The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The
middle frequencies are particularly important in setting the amount of ‘body’ your
tone has. With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully CCW) the sound
will be aggressive and scooped, a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing. As the
Middle control is increased (CW) the amount of ‘body’ is increased, which is more
suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
