HIGH GAIN INPUT

Used for most electric guitars. It is 10 dB louder than Low Gain input.

LOW GAIN INPUT

Provided for instruments that have extremely high outputs, which can result in overdriving (distorting) the 
High Gain input.  If both inputs are used simultaneously, the levels are the same (both are Low Gain).

PREAMP VOLUME

Controls the input volume level of the preamp

BASS, MIDDLE AND TREBLE EQ

Passive tone controls that regulate the low, mid, and high frequencies of the amplifier.

BOOST

Acts as a frequency selective extension to the VOLUME control (8).  When depressed, this switch boosts 
the overall volume level. 
This feature can be controlled via an optional footswitch (#00579720).  
NOTE:  Activating this feature is comparable to turning up the VOLUME control, thus increasing loudness.

EFFECTS SEND

1/4” output jack for supplying signals to external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.  
NOTE:  The effects loop can be defeated using the optional footswitch.

EFFECTS RETURN

1/4” input for returning signals from external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.  This is a 
switching jack.  Inserting a plug into this jack will break the signal path until it is returned via the 
EFFECTS SEND jack.

MASTER VOLUME

Controls the overall output level of the amplifier.

RESONANCE

This patented feature, available only from Peavey, is used to fine-tune the low-frequency response and 
damping factor of the power amp section.  At higher settings, the speakers are allowed to move more 
freely at low frequencies, resulting in more apparent low end with slightly less signal clarity at maximum 
settings. 

PRESENCE

This control is used to fine-tune the high-frequency response and damping factor of the power amp sec-
tion. At higher settings, the speakers are allowed to move more freely at high frequencies, resulting in 
more apparent high end.
