Vintage TDM/RTAS manual Green Amp

Green Amp

Green is packed with character and produces a pleasant guitar sound with warm yet intense poweramp distortion. Its edginess makes it shine through in mixes, without drowning out other instruments.

Green is based on a famous brit­pop amplifier from the middle of the 60's. It has three different channels (“Vib­Trem”, “Normal” and “Brilliant”) with two inputs each, and normally a guitar player will connect the guitar to the “Vib­Trem” input and patch the signal to the other two channels. We have simulated the amplifier exactly this way; the guitar connected to the “Vib­Trem” input and patched to the other two channels.

To complicate things further, this amp doesn't have a normal tone stack (EQ) but a single tone

control which attenuates high frequencies when turned clock­wise (different to what one would expect of a tone control). The previous owner of the original amp was so kind as to carve out “HI” and “LO” in the metal panel so that he would remember this. We have of course included this feature in Amp Room.

First Usage

Turn on the Vib­Trem effect (Vib­Trem Off­On) and select the tremolo effect (Vib­Trem Switch pointing at “Trem”). Set the Vib­Trem Volume knob in the middle position and all other knobs in the minimum position. Now adjust the Brilliant Volume to get a good balance between the tremolo effect and a clean sound.
