HIGH GAIN Function
The HIGH GAIN function is accessible in configurations which display H-GAIN in the configuration title. The preamp
stage in these configurations is designed to provide high gain levels for maximum sustain and distortion.
High Gain parameters

ESCRIPTION
The GAIN parameter determines the amount of gain in the distortion stage.
The VARIAC ADJUST parameter adjusts the level at which the preamp stage in the Artist begins to distort.
A Variac is a voltage attenuating device that plugs into an AC wall outlet and allows you to adjust the
voltage level to any device that is plugged into it. For years, many guitarists have plugged their amplifier
heads into a Variac and reduced the voltage coming into the amplifier from the AC wall outlet. This allows
the amplifier tubes to reach saturation at a lower input level and increases the gain produced. The VARIAC
ADJUST parameter operates in a similar manner as a conventional Variac — where lowering the parameter
value lowers the level at which saturation will take place.
The post BASS LEVEL parameter adjusts the amount of low frequency information at the output of the
current preset. This parameter is also accessible from the “Post EQ (Expert)” function. (In the Post EQ
function, the center frequency and bandwidth of this EQ section are alsoadjustable.)
The post MID LEVEL parameter adjusts the amount of mid frequency information at the output of the
current preset. This parameter is also accessible from the “Post EQ (Expert)” function. (In the Post EQ
function, the center frequency and bandwidth of this EQ section are also adjustable.)
The post TREBLE LEVEL parameter adjusts the amount of high frequency information at the output of the
current preset. This parameter is also accessible from the “Post EQ (Expert)” function. (In the Post EQ
function, the center frequency and bandwidth of this EQ section are also adjustable.)
The post PRESENCE LEVEL parameter also adjusts the amount of high frequency information at the
output of the current preset. This parameter is also accessible from the “Post EQ (Expert)” function. (In the
Post EQ configuration, the center frequency and bandwidth of this EQ section are also adjustable.
