FRONT PANEL – INPUT

SECTION

1.0dB INPUT JACK: This input accepts a standard 1/4” phone plug and is suitable for any low to line level signal source such as an electric guitar.

2.-6dB INPUT JACK: This input jack also accepts a standard 1/4” jack but is padded 6 dB for hotter inputs such as tape decks or guitars with hot pickups. If both jacks are used, this input is not padded and will be equal to the 0 dB input jack.

CHANNEL A CONTROLS:

3.GAIN CONTROL: This control sets the amount of gain for Channel A and is used to vary the amount of distortion. Minimal distortion is achieved with this control rotated counter-clockwise. A fully clockwise setting creates maximum distortion.

4.LEVEL CONTROL: The overall volume of Channel A is controlled with this knob and should be used in conjunction with the Gain Control (3).

5.SHAPE CONTROL: This is the overall tone control for Channel A. When turned to the left, a setting with heavy emphasis on mid range is achieved. When rotated to the right, the amp creates a “fat” sound with extra boost on lows and highs.

6.CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH: This switch is used to select between Channel A and Channel B. When using the optional footswitch (23), this switch is inoperative.

CHANNEL A CONTROLS:

7.VOLUME CONTROL: This control sets the overall listening level of Channel B. This control is independent of any setting made in Channel A.

8.LOW CONTROL (Bass): The desired amount of “Bottom” or “Warmth” may be increased or decreased with this knob.

9.MID CONTROL (Mid): The tonal qualities of the midrange are very important to a good guitar sound. This knob can “thin-out” the sound when turned down, or “fatten-up the sound when larger amounts are used.

10.HIGH CONTROL (Treble): This knob will affect the upper harmonic range of the guitar. Boosting it sharpens or adds crispness to the sound. For additional effect, use this control in conjunction with the Bright Switch (11).

11.BRIGHT SWITCH: This switch affects the brilliance of the guitar’s sound by adding additional “bite” or sharpness. This switch affects both Channel A and B.

12.DEPTH CONTROL (REVERB): This control allows the player to alter the apparent acoustical qualities of a room. The sound can be altered from very “Flat” or “Dry” when the control is turned off, to that of a concert hall when used in larger amounts.

CHORUS SECTION

13.CHORUS SWITCH: This switch turns on the stereo chorus when depressed. It must be in this position to enable the chorus footswitch (24).
