Knobs
The functionality of the knobs on the front panel of the plugin correspond exactly to the
front panel of the real amplifier.
Presence
: The presence is used to control the feedback loop and thus the amount of treble
in the power amp. Turn it up to get a high frequency boost.
Bass, Middle, and Treble
: These knobs are the tone control of the amplifier. This circuit is
located after the preamp distortion and is used to shape the sound of the preamp distortion.
Master Volume
: This knob controls the amount of power amplifier distortion. The power
amp distortion is usually a little bit dirtier than the preamp distortion and gives a crunchier
sound that sounds amazing for chords. Set the
Pre Amp Volume
to a low setting and turn
up the
Master Volume
to the max to get that typical power amp distortion.
Pre Amp Volume
: This knob controls the amount of preamplifier distortion, but since a high
output from the preamplifier also makes the power stage distort, this also affects the power
amplifier distortion. The preamp distortion is typically much “tighter” than the crunchy power
amp distortion. To get a tight preamp distortion, you'll have to turn down the
Master
Volume
while maxing the
Pre Amp Volume
.
