1 . The 6736 is a cathode biased Class A amplifier. This style of amplifier really benefits
from having the master volume turned up to 1 2 o'clock and beyond. This will open up the
amplifier's tone. Adjust the gain controls accordingly.
2. Channel one and channel two are not only voiced differently but their gain structure is
also different. Channel one has a wider frequency response so with it's gain control set at
the same level as channel two it will be quite a bit louder.
3. When setting up the amp I recommend starting with channel two first. Set the master
at about 1 2 o'clock and the channel two gain at a point where you are getting a typical
British rock tone. Adjust the tone controls to your liking. Switch to channel one and set
the gain control to match the volume level of channel two. The gain on channel one
should be somewhat less than the gain on channel two giving channel one a nice clean
and warm tone. Adjust the top cut control to cut any unwanted channel one high end.
4. Obviously there are a ton tonal more options than described above. Experiment.
5. The power scaling feature can be useful but there is a limit to it's effectiveness. Once
you get to a certain point in turning the power scaling down the tone will start to fall apart.
That is your limit. When turning the power scaling down the decrease in volume is not
dramatic through the first half of the control but you will notice the amplifier's tone
changing and the amplifier's feel changing. This is a control that requires some
experimenting to get the hang of. The 6736 will yield the most pleasing tone with the
power scaling set to maximum (fully clockwise).
