Used to balance the high frequency ratio between

the amplifier and the ToneBone - Hint: start adjustments at the

FLAT

 is the

Recommended position when the amp’s bright switch is on. 

DARK

:   -

6dB @ 3.3KHz, normally used with super bright inputs.

HIGH

Active ‘post-distortion’ tone control. Boost or cut

±10dB @ 4.3KHz from 12 o’clock position.

LEVEL

 control:  

This is used to adjust the output level without

altering any of the tonal characteristics.

Foot-switch
