Factory Reset

The default factory patches and settings can be restored to your amplifier at any 

time. Simply hold down the MOD, DLY and REV switches simultaneously, whilst 

switching on the amplifier. 
The voice LED will count down to indicate that a factory reset is imminent. If any of 

the MOD, DLY and REV switches are released before the Voice LEDs have switched 

off, then the operation is cancelled and the amplifier will remain unaffected.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 

This process will overwrite any user saved patches and settings.

Front Panel

1. Input

Plug your guitar in here. 

Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.

2. Voice 

The Voice control changes the preamp voicing, ranging from ultra clean to extremely 

overdriven.

 Clean Warm – Classic clean, dynamic

 Clean Bright – ‘Boutique’, will break up when pushed hard

 Crunch – Classic medium gain overdrive

 Super Crunch – More gain and punch than Crunch

 OD 1 – Hot-rodded Master Volume overdrive

 OD 2 – Mid boosted overdrive

This setting is saved when you store a patch.

3. Gain 

The Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion. Low settings (counter 

clockwise) will deliver a clean sound on the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is 

turned clockwise the sound will become more overdriven, moving through beautiful 

crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted tone is achieved. This 

setting is saved when you store a patch.

4. Volume

This controls the preamp volume. High levels of volume will introduce the effect of 

valve power amp distortion and compression. This is a global setting and not saved 

when storing a patch.

5. ISF 

The  patented  ISF  control  allows  you  to  choose  the 

exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully counter clockwise 

has a more American characteristic with a tight bottom-

end and more aggressive middle, and fully clockwise 

has a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and 

less aggressive. This leads to a very familiar, musical 

response. This setting is saved when you store a patch.

6. MOD (Modulation) 

Press this switch to turn the stereo modulation effect on, off, or focus the effect for 

editing. This setting is saved when you store a patch.

7. DLY (Delay)

Press this switch to turn the stereo delay effect on, off, or focus the effect for editing. 

This setting is saved when you store a patch.
