This channel offers Plexi-style tones, definitely focused on rock styles. 
 

 

Tone settings 

 

The Bass 

[6]

Middle 

[7] 

and Treble 

[8] 

controls allow you to shape your tone in greater detail. 

The range has been limited to  +/- 6 dB though, in order not to alter the Plexi-specific tone. 
 
The Raw 

[5]

 switch, once set in the upper position, bypasses the Bass 

[6]

Middle 

[7] 

and Treble 

[8]

 controls. You instantly get the Plexi-specific tone applied to your raw guitar signal. The tone 

has more ‘bite’ and reflects even better the personality of your guitar. 
 
The Bright 

[4] switch 

adds some treble, independently from the Bass 

[6]

Middle 

[7] 

and Treble 

[8]

 settings. This can be used to give more sparkle to a humbucker pickup.  

 
 

 

Gain / volume controls 

 

The  gain 

[9] 

control sets the preamplifier distortion level. 

 
The volume 

[10] 

control allows to set the perceived volume ;  above 6 (approximately) it sets the 

power amp distortion (overdrive).  
 
By  playing  with  these  2  controls,  you  will  be  able  to  dial-in  the  right  mix  between  preamp 
distortion and power amp distortion. 
 
Note : when the Rock channel is active, the Channel 

[11] 

 indicator is on. 

 
 

8. Footswitch 

 

The footswitch allows to control certain functionalities from the tip of your feet. On the 

Crunch 

Machine

, 2 functionalities are selectable : 

 

 

The boost on the classic channel 

 

The active channel 

 
Below is a picture of the footswitch :
