Getting Y our Sound: The Overdrive Level and
Gain and the Clean Level controls (#2, 3 & 4)
can be used together to obtain a wide variety of
sounds. The following guidelines will help you
get the sound you’re looking for.
Clean Sounds: Keep the Gain control “off” (the
Overdrive Level control will be inactive). Use the
Clean Level control to set the output level.
“Crunch” Sounds: Set the Overdrive Level
control around “4”, turn the Gain on and set it to
“2”. Use the Clean Level control to set the output level. (A lower setting of the Clean Level
control is needed as the Overdrive Level and
Gain controls are increased.)
Rhythm Distortion: Set the Overdrive Level
control around “4”, Gain at or near “10”. Use the
Clean Level control to set the output level.
Lead Distortion: Set the Overdrive Level and
Gain controls at or near “10”. Use the Clean
Level control to set the output level.
