THE FRONT PANEL:
1. High & Low Inputs accept a
standard 1/4” instrument plug
from your electric guitar. The high
input jack is at 0dB level, for gui-
tars with standard pickups. The
low input is padded 6dB to com-
pensate for guitars with “hot” pick-
ups or active electronics.
2. Volume controls the overall
output level of the amplifier. At
lower volume settings the sound
will be clean. As you push the vol-
ume higher and crank your guitar
the sound becomes distorted.
3. Tone controls the overall tonal
character of the amplifier.
Rotating the knob clockwise
increases the higher frequencies,
giving a brighter, more “crisp”
sound. Rotating the control coun-
terclockwise reduces the high fre-
quencies, giving a darker, more
“muffled” sound. The Tone control
offers a cut or boost of 30dB at
4kHz.
4. Tremolo-Speed sets the rate
at which the tremolo effect
“vibrates.” The Tremolo-Intensity
control (#5) must be turned up to
hear the effects of this knob’s set-
ting.
5. Tremolo-Intensity sets the
depth of the tremolo effect. For
slow, smoother vibrato effects try
the Intensity control at around 6
and the Speed control at 1. For
the really wild sounds, crank the
Intensity up towards 8 (or
beyond) and go from there.
6. Reverb controls the amount of
reverberation applied to the sig-
nal. With the control at the “0”
position there is no reverb
applied; as the control is turned
towards “10” the amount of reverb
increases accordingly.
7. Power light indicates the
amplifier is turned on by glowing
an iridescent purple color.
8. Power switch is used to turn
the amplifier on and off.
