Vintage TDM/RTAS manual White Amp, First Usage

White Amp

White is based on an all­round great amp, a classic that set the industry standard for classic, distorted rock'n'roll sounds. The genius is its simplicity. It's stripped down to the bare essentials – all tubes, only one channel, and no reverb or any other built­in effects.

Sound­wise, it goes from mad screaming preamp shred, to warm, speakers­about­to­break poweramp distortion. Perfect when you need a characteristically distorted edge and a powerful roar.

First Usage

Set all parameters in the middle (12 o'clock). Turn down the Master Volume a little bit (to 10 o'clock) and play your guitar while changing the Pre Amp Volume. The sound goes from almost Hi­Fi clean on low Pre Amp Volume settings, to a crunchy distortion (Pre Amp Volume in the middle), and finally to a high­gain setting with Pre Amp Volume on max. If you want an even meaner distortion, turn down the Middle and turn up the Master Volume.

Tip: The sound will change quite dramatically when you start moving the mic away from the cabinet, since certain frequencies will cancel each other out due to interference between the four speaker drivers.
