PHANTOM OWNER’S MANUAL 

(rev.2)

 

PAGE 13 OF 17 

 
Button 1 (labeled CH 1/2) will control switching between the two channels (i.e. clean to dirty).  
Once  on  Channel  2,  button  2  (labeled  CH2  A/B)  will  toggle  between  the  two  volume/gain 
controls on Channel 2.  The intended use for the two settings is rhythm/lead so button 1 will 
take you to crunch and button 2 then takes you to a lead channel.  Clearly they can be used 
for  two  different  rhythm  sounds  as  well  if  you  use  outboard  rack  or  pedal  effects  to  obtain 
your lead tones. 
  

Note:  the front panel switches will override the footswitch.

  Hence, for the footswitch to 

operate  correctly,  all  front  panel  switches  must  be  in  the  “off”  position,  which  is  toward  the 
right  when  facing  the  front  panel.    The  front  panel  switches  are  made  to  override  the 
footswitch in the event of an emergency (probably caused by your bass player). 
 

                                    

 

          

ALTERNATE SWITCHING METHODS 

 
Your amp’s TRS switching jack on the back panel allows you to control your amp with any 
device  that  conducts  simple  latching  tip  to  ground  switching  functions  (e.g.,  the  Diamond 
Amplification/RJM Music MAC-2, a Bradshaw (Custom Audio Electronics) switching system, 
an RJM Music Amp Gizmo, a TC Electronic G-System, a GCX switching system or a simple 
latching footswitch).  The three jacks correspond exactly with the front panel switches. 
 
To get the most of your amp if you’re a MIDI kinda player, we recommend our MAC-2, which 
will allow you to use this jack and switch your amp with any standard MIDI controller!  MIDI 
In/Thru also allows you to control your MIDI effects and your amp at the same time from one 
controller.  The MAC-2’s 4

th

 jack is a TRS jack for this purpose.  

 
If  your  switching  device,  whatever  it  is,  does  not  utilize  TRS  switching  jacks,  try  using  a 
stereo  “insert”  cable  (available  at  most  music  stores  and  generally  used  in  PA’s),  which  is 
TRS at one end (connect this to the amp) and “Y’s” out to two mono jacks at the other end 
(connect to your switching device).
