Clean Channel
1. Input
Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.
2. Clean Indicator
When the green LED is on, the Clean Channel is selected.
3. Clean Select
Press this switch to select the Clean Channel.
4. Clean Volume
This controls the volume of the Clean Channel. Turning it clockwise increases
the volume. At extreme clockwise settings the preamplifier will start to overdrive,
particularly in the ‘boutique’ mode.
5. Voice
In the out position the Clean Channel has a ‘boutique’ voicing, more focussed to
middle and top end, with the power amplifier damping configured like many traditional
Class A type amplifiers. This mode can produce pleasing levels of crunchy overdrive
at higher settings of the Clean Volume control. With the switch in the in position the
Clean Channel has a more ‘modern’ voicing, with a greater bass response and tighter
sound from increased Class AB style power amplifier damping. The gain structure is
also altered to keep the sound clean at higher settings of the Clean Volume control.
6. Bass
The Bass control adjusts the amount of bass frequencies in your tone. Fully counter
clockwise the sound will be tighter in character. Rotating the control clockwise will
progressively increase the bass response of the channel.
7. Treble
The Treble control allows adjustment of the treble frequencies within the sound. At
low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be warm and darker in character. As
the Treble control is rotated clockwise the sound will become brighter.
Overdrive 1 Channel
8. Overdrive 1 Indicator
When the orange LED is on the Overdrive 1 Channel is selected.
9. Overdrive 1 Select
Press this switch to select the Overdrive 1 Channel.
10. Overdrive 1 Gain
The Overdrive 1 Gain control adjusts the amount of the Overdrive 1 Channel’s
overdrive or distortion. Low settings (counter clockwise) will deliver a clean sound
on the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is increased clockwise the sound
will become more overdriven, moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum
position, a full distorted tone is arrived at.
11. Overdrive 1 Volume
This control adjusts the overall volume of the Overdrive 1 Channel. Turning it
clockwise increases the volume.
Overdrive 2 Channel
12. Overdrive 2 Indicator
When the red LED is on Overdrive 2 is selected.
13. Overdrive 2 Select
Press this switch to select the Overdrive 2 Channel.
14. Overdrive 2 Gain
The Overdrive 2 Gain control adjusts the amount of the Overdrive 2 Channel’s
overdrive or distortion. Low settings (counter clockwise) will deliver a clean sound
on the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is increased clockwise the sound
will become more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum
position, there is a full distorted lead tone.
15. Overdrive 2 Volume
This controls the overall volume of the Overdrive 2 Channel. Turning it clockwise
increases the volume.
Overdrive 1 and Overdrive 2 EQ
16. Bass
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low-end frequencies in your tone. This amp
has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows the tone to be varied from tight
and cutting when counter clockwise, to warm and thumping when fully clockwise.
17. Middle
The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The middle
frequencies are particularly important in setting the amount of ‘body’ your tone has.
With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully counter clockwise) the sound
will be aggressive and scooped, a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing. As the
Middle control is increased (clockwise) the amount of ‘body’ is increased, which is
more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
18. Treble
The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the
sound. At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be warm and darker in
character. As the Treble control is increased (clockwise) the sound will become
brighter. At the maximum settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting.
