Suggested Settings

(

These settings are general starting points. They are 

designed to get you close to the sound you are looking 

for. If the control is not shown, then it doesn't apply to 

this particular sound. )

Clean Rhythm or Country Guitar - these settings are the basic clean sounds and for general rhythm guitar, country 

lead guitar, and funky/chunky rhythm sounds. Usually, country guitar is a brighter, more trebly edged sound. The 

bottom end depends on what type of guitar you are using. Reverb depends on taste.

Rhythm guitar is mostly a clean full type of sound. A little less treble than the country sound and a bit more 

midrange. Reverb, again depends on taste.

Blues Lead or Mellow Crunch - this setting is particularly useful in blues or softer rock songs and It is good for 

leads as well as rhythm parts. It is good for power chords in back of leads. You need to switch to the lead channel 

to make these settings work. Blues, depending on the guitar you use, usually adds treble but with more midrange 

and a "fat" bottom end. This setting does not have as much gain as full out crunch, adjust the gain control to the 

amount of distortion you desire.  Blues usually has a reverb trail on the notes. Adjust to taste.

Alternative/Harder Edged Rock - this setting will deliver more of a cutting tone. Whether used for rhythm or lead 

sounds, it will "cut"  through the drums and get you heard. If you need more "grunge", increase the gain control for 

more distortion. This style of music requires a  slightly thinner, harder edged tone full of midrange. Less reverb is 

required as it tends to muddy up faster songs. Adjust to taste.

Heavy Metal/Maximum Crunch - this setting is a good starting point for the "notched out middle" sounds 

associated with metal and heavy alternative sounds. Adjust the Treble, Lows, and Reverb to taste. Usually, for a 

rhythm tone, you want to have more lower end and less for leads. Distortion is an integral part of this style of 

music and this amp delivers  it quite well.
