With slightly more gain and mid/treble boost compared to the Rhythm channel, the Lead channel is dedicated to solos
without the need for any external boost pedal.
GAIN:
Preamp overdrive/distortion
At lower gain settings, the Lead channel still provides good control and clarity for chord work. As you
turn up the gain, single notes will be more bold with plenty of sustain.
At very high settings, bridge humbuckers will sound more bass saturated similar to neck humbuckers.
(You might back the gain off a bit to avoid feedback with some guitars.)
Mode:
3 way preamp mode switch
Wet:
Hi-gain with wet bass
A wet and saturated hi-gain character will make single notes thick and bassy. Bridge pickups get a
darker sound similar to neck pickups. Trebly single coil guitars can be turned into bold distortion
without excessive pick attack.
Tight:
Hi-gain with more low-cut for tight bass response
Balanced hi-gain character with great definition for both single notes and chords, even at maximum
gain for solos. . This mode also works well for single coil guitars with very pronounced pick attack,
which would otherwise be too “ice-picky” for high gain settings.
Diode:
Hi-gain with very tight bass response and attenuated fizz.
Adds clipping diodes to the circuit similar to OD/dist pedals. The treble response is less extended with
attenuated fizz. At lower gain settings, the amp character is darker with a tight and defined bass
response. At very high gain settings, the diodes might “saturate” the notes in the lower register,
especially on neck pickups. This might be a desired effect, and if not, try the “Tight” mode, which
keeps “bassy” single notes clear and defined.
VOLUME:
Power amp overdrive ~ 14:00 o’clock
When turning the “Rhythm” channel volume into slight power amp overdrive, you can turn up the
“Lead” channel volume a few dB higher to bring your lead sound up front. This will also add more bass
overdrive from the power amp to enhance the mids and keep the overall bass level under control.
