CLEAN PREAMP SECTION
The Clean Preamp is designed to imitate (and surpass) all of the “classic” guitar amp preamps
by providing a full range clean tone with plenty of clear overtones and absolute control of the
midrange frequencies.
Volume
–
Typical setting is between 10 and
1 o’clock but experimentation is encouraged,
engages a Bright function when pulled.
Treble Control
-
Adjusts highs (also upper midrange when in Mode position 6).
Middle Control
–
Controls the amount of Midrange frequencies, somewhat interactive with
the Bass Control. Pulls to enable “Deep” which scoops some midrange frequencies and
emphasizes Bass (makes your electric sound more like an acoustic).
Bass Control
– Sets the amount of low end. Can be rotated to zero where it clicks off for a full
tone stack lift
Mode Selector
– A six position rotary switch, it steps through 5 progressively fatter positions of
the midrange center frequency and achieves maximum fat midrange by engaging a midrange boost
in position 6.
LEAD PREAMP SECTION
The Lead Preamp Section is a custom variation of a popular HI GAIN Style preamp with a
smooth to aggressive range of gain choices and endless sustain.
1. The combination of Volume and Gain lets you adjust the character of the channel at various
volume levels for consistency of tone and character in both small and large venue sizes.
2. The BYPASS feature of the Bass control bypasses the tone controls for ev
en more “Girth”.
Volume
– Pulls for channel selection and sets the overall volume of the LEAD channel.
