LEVEL Control (Channel 1/Ch.1): When used in stereo (two inputs into Ch.1 and
Ch.2 on the back of the unit) this control determines the volume level for Channel 1
output only. When used in MONO (one input into Ch.1 input on the back of the unit)
this control determines the volume level of both Ch.1 and Ch.2 outputs.
RESONANCE Control (Channel 1/Ch.1): This control "beefs up" the lower range
giving the Velocity 100LTD extra performance at the low-end of the sonic spectrum.
When used in stereo (two inputs into Ch.1 and Ch.2 on the back of the unit) this
control determines the amount of RESONANCE for Channel 1 only. When used in
MONO (one input into Ch.1 input on the back of the unit) this control determines the
RESONANCE of both Ch.1 and Ch.2 outputs.
PRESENCE Control (Channel 1/Ch.1): This control opens up the treble and higher
end, offering more "voice" for solo playing. When used in stereo (two inputs into Ch.1
and Ch.2 on the back of the unit) this control determines the amount of PRESENCE
for Channel 1 only. When used in MONO (one input into Ch.1 input on the back of
the unit) this control determines the PRESENCE of both Ch.1 and Ch.2 outputs.
