MASTER VOLUME
Sets the overall ‘loudness’ of the amplifier.
-
BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE:
These are a traditional set of passive tone controls. Passive controls have the advantage of
always sounding musical at any of their settings mainly due to their unique interactive nature. This gives players a more natural
set of tools to create their ideal sound. (Try them all set at midway (5) as a good starting point)
PRESENCE:
An output stage tone control. This adjusts the high frequency response - it adjusts your sound from being dull
to giving it edge / sounding sparkly.
RESONANCE:
Adjusts level of Power Tube damping.
This allows the player to adjust how tight the bass response is - this
will be dependent on what speaker cabinet used.
The Resonance allows you to adjust the bass damping to your particular
taste
.
STANDBY:
Disconnects the HT supply from the Tubes whilst the heaters still keep them warm. This allows you to switch
out of standby and play without waiting for your amplifier to warm up. This is useful after you have sound checked and you are
waiting to go on stage - leave the amp in standby so its ready to go when performance time comes. Always switch off for
short breaks when you don’t want to wait for the tubes to warm up again.
POWER:
Main power switch for the unit. The GH100L features delay turn on circuitry to increase tube life, the HT supply to
the tubes gets switched on only after they have warmed up and are ready to go - approx 30 seconds.
(Always switch off and disconnect the power cord when not in use)
:
It is useful to experiment with the gain and volume controls.
If you want a very open, warm and semi overdriven sound try reducing the amount of gain and increasing the volume. This
reduces pre amp gain but pushes the power amp section and makes it work harder giving you a very desirable level of power
amp distortion which is a very pleasing “retro” style sound.
