Drive: 

Feeds  the  input  to  the  power  section.  With  Power  at  10  it  acts  as  a 

master  volume.    As  a  rule  of  thumb,  when  you  turn  down  the  Power 

always  set  the Drive control  within  2 numbers  of  the Power  setting.  If 

you  set  the  drive  lower  than  the  power  it  will  sound  brighter,  like  a 

"master volume" amp.   

Note:

  Keeping  the  Drive  within  2  numbers  of  the  Power  setting  will 

retain  the  natural  amp  overdrive  characteristics  all  the way  down  to  1 

watt.

WARNING:

 Setting the Drive control more than 2 numbers higher  than 

the Power  setting will  cause the output  section  to clip beyond what  is 

typical  and may produce artifacts  and  compression  that  the user  may 

or may not find appealing.

Power:

Power  Scaling  emulates  the  tonal  response  of  a  high  wattage 

amp  on 10,  at  manageable volumes. Power  controls the voltage 

that  feeds  the  output  section  and  in  turn,  the  wattage.  As  you 

lower  the  voltage  of  the  power  section  you  are  reducing  the 

amount of signal  it can handle before clipping the output section. 

To  compensate  for  this  we  use  the  "Drive"  control  so  you  can 

easily scale down to 1 watt without losing tone & feel.

Tone controls: 

Bass, Middle and Treble tone controls for  each  channel are post-

gain  and  passive  cut-style.  We  recommend  starting  around  5 

and  dialing  to  taste.  As  you  increase  Gain  and/or  Drive  we 

recommend  dialing back  the Bass  to retain  clarity and definition 

in the low-end.

Gain:

 

Controls  the  amount  of  preamp  gain  by  controlling  2  cascading 

gain stages simultaneously to drive the input stage.

ON/OFF:

 

With  the  Power  switch  in  the 

OFF  position  and  the  Standby 

switch in  the STANDBY  position, 

flip  the power switch to ON. Wait 

6 0  s e c o n d s ,  t h e n  f l i p   t h e 

Standby  switch  to  the  ON 

position.  This  will  prolong  tube 

life.  To  power  down,  simply 

switch  the  power  switch  to  the 

OFF position.
