GUITAR AMPLIFIER
1: INPUT: Connect your guitar here by means of
a shielded instrument cable.
OVERDRIVE CHANNEL: A high gain channel
designed to give you sounds from a slight edge
to serious overdrive.
2: GAIN 1: Use this control to adjust the amount
of moderate compression and distortion for the
Overdrive channel. With the control rotated fully
counter clockwise the sound will have a thick
compressed quality. As you rotate the control
clockwise the amount of distortion increases.
Gain 1 produces less intense distortion than
Gain 2 and is active when the Gain Select switch
(#5) is in the out position.
3: GAIN 2: Use this control to adjust the amount
of intense compression and distortion for the
Overdrive channel. With the control rotated fully
counter clockwise the sound will have a thick
compressed quality. As you rotate the control
clockwise the amount of distortion increases.
Gain 2 produces more intense distortion than
Gain 1 and is active when the Gain Select switch
(#5) is depressed.
4: SHAPE: Working in conjunction with the Gain
2 control, rotate the Shape control until you find
the sound you’re looking for. Rotating the control
counter clockwise enhances the mid frequencies. Rotating the control clockwise enhances
the low and high frequencies. (Only affects Gain
2 when active.)
5: GAIN SELECT: Use this switch to select Gain
1 (switch in the out position) or Gain 2 (switch
depressed). A footswitch (#18) overrides this
switch.
6: LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency output level of the Overdrive channel.
This control allows an adjustment range of 11dB
at 80Hz.
7: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency output level of the Overdrive channel.
This control allows an adjustment range of 10dB
at 10kHz.
8: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output
volume level of the Overdrive Channel. Use this
control along with the Gain and Shape controls
(#2, 3 & 4) to create a wide variety of sounds.
9: CHANNEL SELECT: Use this switch to select
the Clean channel (switch in the out position) or
the Overdrive channel (switch depressed). A
footswitch (#21) overrides this switch. The adjacent LEDs indicate which channel is selected.
CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel
designed to give you crystal clear sounds.
10: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output
volume level of the Clean Channel.
11: LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency output level of the Clean channel. This
control allows an adjustment range of 22dB at
80Hz.
12: MID: Use this control to adjust the mid frequency output level of the Clean channel. This
control allows an adjustment range of 14dB at
600Hz.
13: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency output level of the Clean channel. This
control allows a range of 28dB at 10kHz.
14: REVERB LEVEL: Use this this control to
adjust the amount of reverberation. With the
control rotated fully counter clockwise the output
signal is “dry” (no effect). As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of effect increases.
