1.INPUT SECTION

This is where you plug in your guitar.

2.AMP SECTION

Here’s where you make your settings.

AMP selector switch

This selects one of the amp type models. As mentioned earlier, each model repli- cates the preamp (with its gain and tonal response), the power amp operation (class A or AB), negative feedback circuitry (or lack thereof), and the response of the tone controls and their placement within the circuit. The all-important power amp stage is also reconfigured according to the original. The amp types include the legendary VOX AC30TBX, and provide eleven models that faithfully simulate classic valve amps. For details, turn to “Amp models and effects” (page 17). Preset mode (when the PRESET LED is lit) lets you select preset programs that contain typical sound and effect settings for each amp type.

GAIN

This adjusts the preamp gain. Higher settings will give you more distortion

VOLUME

This adjusts the volume.
