to and putting both Lead channels into high gear. This doubles the
number of basic sounds in Main Channel 2. The Soft Lead setting suffices for high-
output pickups - even for playing leads - so you can leave off if your guitar is
shred-approved. settings also work for chugging rhythm riffs or as
alternative crunch sounds, so give 'em a try. But by all means, for scorching ultra high-
gain lead sounds with truckloads of sustain or for power chords with a monster
bottom-end, go for the Heavy Lead variant with activated.
This knob determines the Lead II channel's input sensitivity and preamp saturation
level.
Extremely high gain and volume levels in Lead mode can produce powerful
feedback. Avoid feedback squeals; they can lead to hearing loss and damage
speakers! At higher volumes, back off the Gain and Treble levels and possibly Presence
levels of a connected poweramp in order to prevent unchecked feedback!
The two Lead channels' fundamental tones are not worlds apart: boasts a bit
more gain and bottom end than , and works very well for fat, in-your-face solos
and chunky riffs with a big bottom end with plenty of low-frequency punch. Its
response is not quite as speedy as , and the low-end can turn muddy at high
Gain settings in combination with high-testosterone pickups.
This is the preamp voicing section's passive low-frequency EQ for Main Channel 2's
Lead I and Lead II modes.

This is the preamp voicing section's passive high-frequency EQ for Lead II mode.
To help you get acquainted with the preamp's fundamental sounds, I recommend that
you set all tone controls to about the center or 12 o'clock position. For higher-gain,
high-volume lead sounds, your best bet is to turn the Treble knob down to prevent the
pickups and speakers from generating feedback (a setting in the 9-to-1 o'clock range is
recommended).
If your power amp - say, an ENGL tube power amp - features a Presence knob, you
could turn up the preamp's Treble knob a bit and back off the power amp's Presence
knob when in Lead mode. If your power amp is not equipped with a Presence knob
(meaning that the power amp's frequency response is fairly linear), it is recommended
that you set the two Treble knobs to relatively low values in order to prevent feedback.
Besides, over-the-top Treble settings result in overly aggressive, piercing lead tones.
