FRONT PANEL
Input 1
Plug your guitar in here. This is Channel I and the lower gain of the 2. This is designed to
recreate old-school British crunchy cleans through to singing 60s blues rock.
Input 2
This is the Channel 2 input; higher gain adding a further gain stage for more ‘modded’ 70s
& 80s classic rock and beyond.
Footswitch
The Sheriff 44 comes with a single latching footswitch to switch between Input I and
Input II. To enable this function, the Footswitch needs to be plugged into Input I and your
guitar plugged into Input II.
VOLUME I
This control effectively sets the Gain for Input I. The more it is turned up, the more Gain is
added to the input signal control and adds a classic British crunch to the sound. Use low
settings for maximum clean headroom and higher settings when you want to introduce
more natural valve overdrive to your tone.
Balancing this control with the Master Volume is crucial in delivering the tone and feel
that works best for you.
VOLUME II
When the guitar is plugged into Input II, this control adds more of a modern American
high-gain character to the content of your sound and again should be used in conjunction
with the Master control to achieve the tonal response you desire.
TREBLE
Controls the high frequency content of your sound and is also a powerful tone shaper
when it comes to overdrive character.
MIDDLE
Controls the midrange frequencies in your sound. Run the middle control higher to help
cut through a band mix, or generally fatten and ‘widen’ your sound. Run it lower for a
lighter, less ‘in-your-face’ kind of sound.
