Channel Two Controls
Solo Master : This is simply another master volume on channel two that is switchable. Use it for an
increase in volume from the regular master. The solo master also has a gain/clipping switch. Like all of
the master volumes on the CCV, the gain/clipping switches that add gain ala “Jose Master”. The center is
no clipping and the amp will be loud and clean. To the left is mid gain/clipping. To the right is max
gain/clipping. Keep in mind that as you add gain/clipping you are also clipping the signal, so the volume
will drop (this is normal). A cool simple trick to do is set the master on mid (left) gain/clipping and the
solo master on (right) max gain/clipping and use a foot switch to toggle between them. This way the amp
becomes basically 3 channels.
Note: One of THE biggest advantages of having the clipping type gain is the ability to roll back on
the guitars volume. Rolling back lowers the input signal and thus cuts the gain and saturation
of the amp. The amp will sound very clear and clean. Experiment and watch your friends
faces as you go from clean to mean with the turn of the volume knob.
Master Volume : This adjusts the overall volume on channel two only. Above the master volume, as
mentioned previously, is a 3 position switch which adjusts gain/clipping. This switch adds gain ala “Jose
Master”. The center is low gain/no clipping and the amp will be loud and clean. To the left is mid
gain/clipping. To the right is max gain/clipping. Keep in mind that as you add gain/clipping you are also
clipping the signal, so the volume will drop (this is normal). Just adjust the volume up or down to
compensate for any changes.
Bass : This knob controls the lower frequencies. Turn it down to lower the bass; turn it up to increase the
bass.
Middle : This knob controls the mid-range frequencies. Turn it down to lower the mids; turn it up to
increase the mids. The CCV naturally has a lot of mids, so don’t be afraid to set the knob below half way.
Treble : This knob controls the high-end frequencies. Turn it down to lower the treble; turn it up to
increase the treble.
Gain 2 : This knob controls the amount of gain on channel two and works in conjunction with Gain 1.
Turn it down to have low gain, turn it up for more gain. The gain pot has a 3 position switch above it.
This switch adds in treble which adds gain. Center is off, left is the brightest (most gain) and right is less
bright (mid gain). Remember that the higher the knob is turned up, the less noticeable the switches
become.
Gain 1 : This knob controls the amount of gain on channel two and works in conjunction with Gain 2.
Turn it down to have low gain, turn it up for more gain. The gain pot has a 3 position switch above it.
This switch adds in treble which adds gain. Center is off, left is the brightest (most gain) and right is less
bright (mid gain). Remember that the higher the knob is turned up, the less noticeable the switches
become. Note: Use Gain 1 and Gain 2 together to get a myriad of gain options. Set one high, one low,
set one switch to the left, one to the right, both on, both off, etc. Remember that the higher the knob is
turned up, the less noticeable the switches become. Keep this in mind when you set the amp for the most
gain. When adding gain (via the gain/clipping switches above the masters), turn back the gain pots to get
a more noticeable effect from the gain switches (for better cut and more articulation). You can roll them
back to noon and the amp will still have a lot of gain. There is no right or wrong way to set these knobs
or switches. If it sounds good, it is good. Have fun and experiment!!
