1. MASTER VOLUME
This knob adjusts the output volume of the line
out jacks and the headphone jack. The master vol-
ume does not adjust the volume of the individual
out jacks.
2. TUBE GAIN
This knob adjusts the level of the EMX-1’s output
signal that is being sent through the vacuum tubes.
As you increase this level, the vacuum tubes will

The effect of the vacuum tubes applies to the line
