TIP:
e.g. activate this feature for high preamp overdrive in combination with low Gain
settings (before the 11 o´clock´s position) and set it to the off-position in combination with
high Gain settings (after the 12 o´clock´s position), for a normal Lead-overdrive. For
Crunch-sounds set the Gain control between the 9 and 12 o´clock´s position (depending on
the type of pickup) and deactivate the Gain Lead pushbutton. Generate a heavy Lead with the
Gain control after the 12 o´clocks´position and an activated Gain Lead pushbutton.
CAUTION:
Extremely high gain and volume levels in the Lead mode can produce
strong feedback. Avoid feedback squeals, they lead to hearing loss and damaged speakers!
