1. INPUT: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable.
2. -15dB/0dB SWITCH: This switch, when depressed, attenuates the level of the input signal by 15dB. If the
Peak LED (#4) flashes with the Gain control (#3) near fully counter clockwise, depress this switch.
3. GAIN: Use this control to adjust the input signal level for the amplifier. For the best signal to noise ratio, set
the Gain control so the Peak LED (#4) flashes only on strong signal peaks.
4. PEAK LED: This LED illuminates when the input signal level nears clipping. Adjust the Gain control (#3) so
a strong signal from your instrument causes this LED to flash.
NOTE: If the Peak LED flashes frequently with the Gain control (#3) at a low setting, depress the -15dB/0dB
switch to engage the attenuator, then readjust the Gain control.
5: CONTOUR SHAPE: Use this control to further expand the tonal characteristics of the amplifier. This lets
you “dial in” the exact sound you’re looking for. The Contour effect cuts the mid frequencies by 12db, while at
the same time it cuts or boosts the highs – in the counter clockwise position, the mid cut is at 1kHz, and the
highs are attenuated; in the clockwise position, the mid cut is at 400Hz, and the highs are boosted. This con-
trol is only active when the Contour Active switch (#6) is depressed.
6. CONTOUR ACTIVE SWITCH: This switch, when depressed, activates the Contour circuitry. The Contour
Shape control (#5) is effective only when this switch is depressed.
7. GRAPHIC EQ: Use these sliders to adjust the output signal to best suit your playing style, to compensate
for room acoustics, and to achieve the best sound. Each slider control is centered at the frequency listed
beneath it.
8. MASTER LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the amplifier.
9. LIMIT LED: This LED illuminates when the internal limiter circuit is activated. The limiter circuit prevents the
power amplifier from clipping at high output levels. Clipping results in distortion that may damage your speakers.
10. DSP MODE: Use this control to select one of the built-in digital effects. The effects are as follows:
DELAY:
Slapback delay effect
ECHO:
Long delay effect with regeneration
CHORUS:
Chorus effect
FLANGE:
Light flange effect
FUNK-WAH:
Touch-sensitive wah-wah (“T-Wah”) effect
OCTAVE:
Adds a secondary note one octave lower than orignal
CHO/HALL:
Chorus effect combined with large hall reverb effect
RM:
Small room reverb effect
HALL:
Large hall reverb effect
