saturation and the Volume controls
the level sent to Master.

a line out (preamp-out). The Amp In
(return) is used as the return for your
effects loop.

a footswitch to the 1/4-inch TRS
Footswitch jack will defeat the internal

the ‘Clean and Overdrive’ channels.

an 8-ohm external cabinet. If you
disconnect the internal Celestion®
speaker, you can connect up to two
