FRONT PANEL:

1:INPUT: Connect your guitar here using a shielded instrument cable.

CHANNEL A: A high gain channel giving you sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive.

2:GAIN: Sets the amount of compression and distortion from the amplifier. At far left, the sound will have a thick compressed quality. As you turn the control to the right the amount of distortion increases. Use this along with the Shape and Level controls (#3 and 7) to create a wide vari- ety of sounds.

3:SHAPE: Rotate the Shape control until you find the sound you’re looking for. Turning the control towards the left enhances the mid frequencies; turning it to the right enhances the low and high frequencies. Controlled by the Shape Active switch (#4).

4:SHAPE ACTIVE: Boosts the gain of Channel A and activates the Shape control (#3). A footswitch (see #29, rear panel) overrides this switch.

5:LOW: Adjusts the low frequency output level: to the left reduces the low frequency output; to the right increases it. This control allows a range of 10dB at 80Hz.

6:HIGH: Adjusts the high frequency output level: to the left reduces the high frequency output, to the right increases it. This control allows a range of 10dB at 7kHz.

7:LEVEL: Sets the output volume level from Channel A: in the far-left position there is no output; turning the control to the right increases the output. Use this control along with the Gain and Shape controls (#2 & 3) to create a wide vari- ety of sounds.

8:CHANNEL SELECT: When this switch is pressed in Channel A is engaged. Channel B is selected when this switch is out. A footswitch (see #29, rear panel) overrides this switch. The adjacent LEDs indicate which channel is selected.

CHANNEL B: A normal gain channel designed to give you crystal clear sounds.

9:LEVEL: Sets the output volume level from Channel B: in the far-left position there is no output; turning the control to the right increases the output level.

10:LOW: Adjusts the low frequency output level: to the left reduces the low frequency output; to the right increases it. This control allows a range of 20dB at 100Hz.

11:MID: Adjusts the mid frequency output level: to the left reduces the midrange output; turning it to the right increas- es it. This control allows a range of 14dB at 700Hz.

12:HIGH: Adjusts the high frequency output level: to the left reduces the high frequency output; to the right increas- es it. This control allows a range of 27dB at 10kHz.

13:REVERB A: Adjust the amount of reverb for Channel A with this control: in the full-left position the output signal is “dry” (no reverb); rotating the control to the right increas- es the amount of effect.

14:REVERB B: Adjust the amount of reverb for Channel B with this control: in the full-left position the output signal is “dry” (no reverb); rotating the control to the right increas- es the amount of effect.

15:INSERT LOOP: Connect an external effects device via this jack. Use a stereo 1/4” male Y-cord: ring = send, tip = return, sleeve = ground. See the illustration on the panel to the right for more information.

16:CHORUS ON/OFF: Turn the Chorus/Expander on and off with this switch. When the switch is pressed in, the Chorus/Expander is active. A footswitch (see #28, rear panel) overrides this switch.

17:CHORUS/EXPANDER: Select between the built-in stereo chorus or the “expander” circuit with this switch. When the switch is pressed in, the chorus section is select- ed. (The yellow LED next to the Depth control, #18, will glow when the Chorus is selected.) When the switch is out, the amplifier’s expander circuit is activated, giving the sound a wide-open, “spatial” effect. In order for either effect to be active, the Chorus On/Off switch (#16) must be pressed in.

18:DEPTH: Set the intensity of the chorus effect with this control: in the far left position there will be almost no cho- rus; as you rotate the control to the right the amount of effect increases.

19:RATE: Set the speed of the chorus effect with this con-

trol: to the left for slow, smooth “phasing” sounds, to the right for faster “vibrato” sounds.

20:POWER LED: Glows when the amplifier is turned on.

21:POWER SWITCH: Turns the amplifier ON in the up position, off in the down position. The POWER LED (#20) works with this switch as a visual indicator.
