Boost / volume settings 

 
The boost 

[13] 

switch allows you to better set the ‘breakup’ threshold : 

 

In the lower position, the boost is not active. The range of « clean » tones is wider 

 

In  the  upper  position,  the  boost  is  active.  The  range  of  « crunch »  tones  is  expanded, 
break-up is reached earlier. 

 
 
The  volume 

[15] 

control  will  set  the  perceived  volume,  and,  as  described  in  Chapter  5,  will 

influence the power tubes overdrive: 

 

From 0 to 3, the tone stays clean. By adjusting the tone 

[14] setting

, one can venture 

in jazzy tones (by increasing the bass) or even funky tones (by adding more treble). 

 

From 3 to 6, a slight ‘crunch’ appears. Great for classic blues. 

 

From 6 to 10, the perceived volume stays unchanged. The volume 

[15] 

control only 

influences the level of overdrive. You are now in heavy-blues and rock territory.  
 

Note 1 : the above settings are for information only and can vary depending on the pick-ups used 
on your guitar. 
 
Note 2 : when the Classic channel is active, the Channel 

[11] 

indicator is off.
