1. Channel selection
Switch to change channels of the
amplifier. It works only when Jack is
unplugged from the Footswitch socket.
In position “up” the clean channel is on,
whereas, in position “down” the
distorted channel is on.
2. Footswitch
S
ocket to connect a
footswitch, with
controlled
Channel
switching and
Gain
selecting. TRS Jack
socket (T – tip:1, R
– ring: 2, S –
sleeve: 3), where
tip changes channels, ring - changes
masters, sleeve is ground.
It uses
“stereo” cable, which can be also
replaced by “mono” cable, however
then, the
Gain
switch will not be active
and, in the amplifier, only potentiometer
Gain 2
will be active.
3. Input
Input jack socket to connect to the
guitar.
4. Bright
High frequency boost for the clean
channel.
5. Clean Volume
Volume of the clean channel.
HINT:
At a low setting of this
potentiometer, you get a clean sound.
When you boost the clean
potentiometer, you get sound that is
more saturated
until some crunch is
achieved. When you turn the
Master
down and boost the
Clean
, you obtain
more crunch. So you can get crunch on
both channels, which, at the same time,
differ in character and dynamics.
6. Gain 1
Gain control for the distorted channel.
HINT:
With a little value you can obtain
crunch effect or overdrive. By adding
gain, distortion is added until reading
high gain. For guitars with Humbucker
pick-ups and high output signal, it is
possible, that turning the knob to the
right, does not cause more distortion.
It
only gives more noise of the amplifier.
It is designed that way, because each
guitar has a different output signal
level, and the value of gain was set up
that way, that in the case of guitars
with less signal, it is also possible to get
more distortion.
7. Gain 2.
Second gain control for the distorted
channel which is only available when
the footswitch is used.
This is a duplicate of
Gain 1
. They both
can be set independently and selected
with the use of a footswitch.
HINT:
This potentiometer can be used
to boost distortion, e.g. while soloing.
To achieve such effect, set
Gain 2
knob
in such a way that after switching from
Gain 1
, the more distortion is heard.
8. Drive Volume
Distorted channel volume. Proportions
between clean and distorted channel
can be set by this potentiometer.
9. Bright
High frequency boost for distorted
channel.
Apart from high frequency
boost, the switch also changes
distortion character. It is possible that
using certain controls of equalizer or
gain, high frequency boost will be less
noticeable.
