WARP 7 MANUAL

2.0 CONNECTIONS AND CONTROL FEATURES

INPUT: Input jack for guitars. It input sensitivity is designed to take guitars with even very high output levels, so feel free to slap this input silly with powerful signals. Totally bulletproof (in this respect, that is), it is built to take everything your guitar can dish out and more.

CLEAN VOLUME: Determines the level of the CLEAN channel. Even at high settings, the amp’s output signal will remain virtually free of distortion. You may want to take pity on your band mates and hand out earplugs before the next rehearsal.

BASS, MID, TREBLE: The CLEAN channel’s 3-band EQ. Again, this channel has oodles of headroom, delivering tremendous clarity and packing the kind of punch it takes to get heavily processed signals across load and clear. If you don’t use many effects, you’ll come up with the best results if you turn the BASS knob well up and the TREBLE knob to just to the left of the 12 o’clock position. Then adjust the MID knob to tune the tone to your guitar and taste.

YELLOW WARP LED: Illuminates to indicate the CLEAN channel is active.

CHANNEL SELECT: Switches from the CLEAN channel to the WARP channel. The WARP channel is active when the pushbutton is pressed.

RED WARP LED: Illuminates to indicate the WARP channel is active.

WARP GAIN: Controls the WARP channel’s

saturation level. This knob is your grit selector: Go from merely dirty but tremendously punchy tone at lower settings to an evil roar at higher GAIN settings.

WARP MASTER: Controls the level of the WARP channel; use it to dial in the desired balance bet- ween the CLEAN and WARP channels. If you want to send your band buddies home with bleeding ears, this is the knob to use. Witticisms aside, though: The WARP 7™ is a truly loud amp and your hearing is extremely sensitive. Please use common sense and exercise restraint with volume levels

BASS, MID, TREBLE: 3-band EQ for the WARP channel. You’ll find an example setting in section 2.0 above describing the WARP channel.

PRESENCE: Fine-tunes the upper mids (1,100 to 1,800 hertz). This frequency range has a considerable influence on the overall flavor of your sound. The amount of “bite” varies depending on this knob’s setting. With a little experimentation, this knob will soon help you discover the sonic secrets of the big boys.

FX-SEND: If you want to employ an effect device, connect this jack to the signal processor’s input. (More on this in section 4.2). You can also use this output to send the signal to another power amp or a RED BOX® for the purposing of patching your signal into a mixer. (More on this in section 4.3)

FX-RETURN: Connect this jack to the effect device’s output.
