Input (1)
Used for most electric guitars. It is 6 dB louder than the Low Gain input.
Low Gain (2)
Provided for instruments that have extremely high outputs, which can result in overdriving (distortthe High Gain input. If both inputs are used simultaneously, the output levels are the same (both
gain).
Clean Channel
Volume (3)
Controls the output level of the Clean channel.
Bright Switch (4)
When activated (pressed in), this switch provides a 6 dB boost to the extreme high frequency portion of your signal.
Select Switch (5)
This switch selects between the Clean and Lead channels. The “in” position selects the Lead channel and the “out” position selects the Clean. Channel selection may also be achieved by using the remote footswitch. The Select Switch must be in the “in” position for the footswitch to operate. Use of the footswitch will also allow you to select between the Crunch and Lead channels.
Low, Mid, and High EQ (6)
This section is a passive tone control for the clean channel. Adjusting these knobs clockwise will pass more low, mid, or high frequency content of the Clean channel to the internal power amps.
4
Crunch Channel Pregain (7)
Controls the input level of the Crunch channel. Adjusting this control clockwise will increase the input level, thus increasing distortion.
Thrash Switch (8)
When activated (in), this switch attenuates a preset portion of the mid range resulting in a more “heavy” sound and an apparent increase in distortion.
Gain Switch (9)
When activated (in), this switch boosts the pregain of the Crunch channel resulting in increased distortion. This effect is often used to get intentional feedback and increased sustain.
Post Gain (10)
Controls the output level of the Crunch channel. Adjusting this control clockwise will result in increased volume. The desired tone and distortion level should be obtained prior to adjusting this control for proper level. Consider this control the volume control for the Crunch channel.
Lead Channel
Pregain (11)
Controls the input level of the Lead channel. Adjusting this control clockwise will increase the input level, thus increasing distortion.
Mid Boost Switch (12)
When activated (in), this switch boosts the mid frequencies. This effect is often desired when miking an amp that is producing distorted guitar signals. Selecting the Mid Boost will bring the signal up in the overall mix during lead passages.
Gain Switch (13)
When activated (in), this switch boosts the pregain of the Lead channel resulting in increased distortion. This effect is often used to get intentional feedback and increased sustain.
Post Gain (14)
Controls the output level of the Lead channel. Adjusting this control clockwise will result in increased volume. The desired tone and distortion level should be obtained prior to adjusting this control for proper level. Consider this control the volume control for the Lead channel.
Low, Mid, and High EQ (15)
This section is a passive tone control for the Crunch and Lead channels. Adjusting these knobs clockwise will pass more low, mid, or high frequency content of these to the internal power amps .
Reverb (16)
Adjusting this control clockwise will result in more reverb content in the output of the amp regardless of the channel. The reverb can be defeated completely by rotating the control counter clockwise.
Rate (17)
Adjusting this control clockwise will result in an increase in the sweep rate (frequency) of the chorus effect. The chorus can only be disabled from the footswitch.
5
Depth (18)
Adjusting this control clockwise will result in an increase in the depth or intensity of the chorus effect. This control adjusts the amount of chorus you actually hear from the output of the amp.
T. Dynamics® (19)
This control adjusts the usable power of the internal power amps from 10% (counter clockwise) to 100% (clockwise). Rotating this control clockwise will result in more available power. This effect is often set to lower levels in order for the power amp compression simulation to be more apparent, allowing you to overdrive the power amp at lower volume levels, achieving a tube power amp clipping/compression quality.
Power LED (20)
Illuminates when power is supplied to the amp. If this LED is lit, the amp is on.

AC LINE CORD—120 V PRODUCTS ONLY (26)
For you safety, we have incorporated a three-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding facilities. It is not advisable to remove the ground pin under any circumstances. If it is
necessary to use the equipment without proper grounding facilities, suitable grounding adapters should be used. Less noise and greatly reduced shock hazard exists when the unit is operated with the proper grounded receptacles.
NOTE: FOR UK ONLY
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
•The wire which is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter E, or by the earth symbol, or colored green or green and yellow.
•The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N, or the color black.
•The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L, or the color red.
