3 CHANNELS - THE STANDARD OF THE 9 0 ' s

solid state 

CLEAN for vintage and

contemporary clean tones. The two 

tube channels, 

CRUNCH 

and 

LEAD, are carefully

tuned for a broad overdrive spectrum, from a slight crunch to heavy duty shred.

TWO EFFECTS LOOPS!

The ATTAX features 

two separate loops 

for effects/multi-effects devices: a standard

MONO FX LOOP with SEND and RETURN jacks and a STEREO LOOP with a SEND

and two RETURN jacks (Left/Right).

STEREO SETUP - NO PROBLEM!

The output, effect, and master sections feature stereo circuits enabling stereo setups,

o. g. with a stereo power amp and two cabinets. Stereo effects processors can be

added through the STEREO LOOP for optimum effects utilization.

FREQUENCY-CORRECTED RECORDING OUT JACKS
The two 

Recording Out jacks 

feature frequency-corrected signal paths that simulate

the sound of a miked 4 x 

12"

 cabinet, an ideal tool for home recording, studio

situations, and on stage DI to the mixer.

MIDI - THE ULTIMATE CONTROL FEATURE!
The 

MIDI option 

requires no soldering. Installation is simple, and offers the ATTAX

user all the comfort of MIDI capabilities. All three channels and the effects loop can

be called via MIDI program change messages.

We 

hope you have fun and enjoy success with your 

ATTAX!
