TREBLE
Upper-range voicing control of the preamp.
7
LEAD PRESENCE
Special treble control only for the Soft Lead and
the Heavy Lead mode.
This control is important when operating the
Tube toner in combination with a poweramp
that does not feature a Presence control: Set
the Treble pot between the 7 and 12 o´clocks
position it suppresses the gritty upper
frequencies.
4
BASS
Bottom end voicing control of the preamp.
To get an idea of the Tube Toner's sound
capabilities, we suggest you set the tone
control pots Bass (4), Middle (5) and Treble (6)
to the 12 o'clock position.
5
MIDDLE
Mid-range voicing control of the preamp.
BRIGHT
Alters the EQ by boosting the upper treble
range (above 2 kHz) in the Clean Channel and
the Crunch Channel. Effectiveness decreases at
higher Clean Gain (1) settings.
For a crisp glassy tone, set the Bright switch to
the On position. This setting boosts the treble
response of muddy pickups.
1
CLEAN GAIN
Input sensitivity control for the Clean Channel
and for the Crunch Channel.
Gain settings depend on what type of pickups
are installed in your guitar. The recommended
setting for humbuckers or active pickups lies
between the 10 and 1 o’clock positions and 12
to 3 o’clock for single coils for a pure clean
response.

LEAD VOLUME
Volume control for the Soft Lead Channel and
the Heavy Lead Channel.

BYPASS, MIDI 5/10
This circuit is pretty much self-explanatory: the
input signal simply bypasses the preamp. When
you activate Bypass, the input signal is routed
directly to the "Instrument Output" (30) jack as
well as the "Mono Output" (29) jack. The LED
located above the button illuminates when the
bypass circuit is active. The following program
change messages are sent via the MIDI OUT
(19) jack when this button pressed: MIDI
Program Location Number 5 in Bank A or
Number 10 in Bank B.
Note:
When Bypass is active, all control features
(1) through (9) as well as the Bright button (2)
are disabled!
15
POWER
AC power on/off.
10
LEAD GAIN
Gain control for both Lead channels, controls
the amount of distortion in the Lead mode.
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!

8
CLEAN VOLUME
Volume control for the Clean Channel and the
Crunch Channel.
CLEAN, MIDI 1/6
When you press this button, the Tube Toner
Clean channel is activated and a program
change message is routed via the MIDI OUT
jack (19) to select MIDI Program Number 1 in
Bank A or Number 6 in Bank B. The Clean
channel is the default setting when you power
the amp up. The red LED located above the
button illuminates to indicate that the Clean
channel is active.
If you have a MIDI multi-effects processor
handy, you can also use the Tube Toner as a
MIDI control unit: When you switch channels, a
discrete MIDI program location number is
routed to the MIDI output jack. You can
activate five program locations in each bank,
which in turn lets you activate each channel
with a combination of two different effects
(e.g. Clean/Bank A with reverb and Clean/Bank
B with chorus and so forth)
11
CRUNCH, MIDI 2/7
When you press this button, the Crunch
channel is activated and a program change
message is routed via the MIDI OUT jack (19) to
select MIDI Program Number 2 in Bank A or
Number 7 in Bank B. The red LED located
above the button illuminates to indicate that
the Crunch channel is active.
12
SOFT LEAD, MIDI 3/8
When you press this button, the Soft Lead
channel is activated and a program change
message is routed via the MIDI OUT jack (19) to
select MIDI Program Number 3 in Bank A or
Number 8 in Bank B. The red LED located
above the button illuminates to indicate that
the Soft Lead channel is active.
13
HEAVY LEAD, MIDI 4/9
When you press this button, the Heavy Lead
channel is activated and a program change
message is routed via the MIDI OUT jack (19) to
select MIDI Program Number 4 in Bank A or
Number 9 in Bank B. The red LED located above
the button illuminates to indicate that the Heavy
Lead channel is active.
