Q1/Q2- This
switch allows you to choose between 2 completely different equalization settings.
Q1
is a lower gain setting, with extended midrange and bass available when used in conjunction
with the middle and bass controls as well as the deep switch. This setting is suitable for any style
requiring a pure clean tone with a nice round bottom and plenty of headroom.
Q2
is a higher gain setting, allowing a greater signal level to pass to the lead channel. This setting
is suitable for any style requiring a clean to slightly distorted tone in clean mode, and more gain in
the lead mode.

Lead Gain
- Adjusts the input level (gain) of the lead channel.
14.
Lead master
- Adjusts the output level of the lead channel.
15.
Lead Channel Switch
- Sends the instrument signal through the lead circuit, adding extra
stages of gain to the signal and enabling the lead gain and lead master controls. To enable foot
switch control of this function, switch must be in the down position.
16.
Bypass Switch
- This switch bypasses the tone controls, increasing both level and mid-range
response. To enable footswitch control of this function, switch must be in the down position.
17.
Contour Control
- The contour control is an active wide band sweep. In the 12 o’clock
position, the amps’ frequency response is flat. Counterclockwise rotation reduces high end
response and increases low frequencies. Counterclockwise rotation decreases low end and
increases the high frequency response. This control is very useful for maintaining preamp tone
control settings, while allowing a global adjustment to compensate for differences in room
acoustics, speaker cabinets, or bright to dark guitars (PRS Humbucker to Strat, for example). This
control also actively reduces the articulation available, allowing a softer setting, or extremely open
and revealing, depending on your individual style and requirements.
18.
Stand-by Switch
- Should be in the “down” or “stand-by” position when you apply power to the
unit. After a few seconds, place the switch in the “up” position to use the amplifier. You may leave
the unit “powered up” and place this switch in the “stand-by” position to mute the output.
19.
Indicator Lamp
- This lamp will illuminate when the power switch is in the “up” position,
indicating the unit is receiving A/C power.
NOTE: All switches are ON in the “up” position
