GUITAR ACE SOUNDS

The GUITAR ACE has three sound settings. CLEAN includes high power
sustain and a crystal clear tone with treble boost. SEMI DISTORTION includes
sustain, custom EQ, and just enough grit to create a dirty tube amp sound. (You
can vary the amount of distortion by using the volume control on your guitar.)
HEAVY DISTORTION includes sustain, custom EQ, and serious overdrive to
deliver the sound of a maxed-out stack.

The left push button chooses between the CLEAN and DISTORTION sounds.
When the left push button is in the CLEAN position, the right push button has
no effect. When the left push button is in the DISTORTION position, the right
push button chooses between SEMI DISTORTION and HEAVY DISTORTION.

METAL ACE SOUNDS

The METAL ACE settings & operations are the same as the GUITAR ACE. The
sound that the METAL ACE produces is brighter with a grinding metallic crunch.

BASS ACE SOUNDS

The basic sound of the BASS ACE includes compression and bass tone boost.
The MID BOOST push button adds extra punch to the midrange frequencies.
The TREBLE BOOST push button adds extra snap to the high frequencies.
These push buttons can be used in any combination to create a wide range of
sounds.
