Guided Tour - Front Panel

11BASS - This control provides approximately 15 db of cut or boost at 100 Hz, with a peak (bell) curve. When the knob is at the 12 o’clock ("5") position, there is no boost or attenu- ation (that is, flat response). As it is turned clockwise from the "5" position, the frequency area is boosted; as it is turned counterclockwise from the "5" position, the frequency area is attenuated.

12MID - This control provides approximately 15 db of cut or boost at 2.5 kHz, with a peak (bell) curve. When the knob is at the 12 o’clock ("5") position, there is no boost or attenu- ation (that is, flat response). As it is turned clockwise from the "5" position, the frequency area is boosted; as it is turned counterclockwise from the "5" position, the frequency area is attenuated.

13TREBLE - This peaking control provides approximately 15 db of cut or boost at 5 kHz. When the knob is at the 12 o’clock ("5") position, there is no boost or attenuation (that is, flat response). As it is turned clockwise from the "5" position, the frequency area is boosted; as it is turned counterclockwise from the "5" position, the frequency area is attenuated.

14REVERB – The control knob used to set the level of the internal Spring Reverb.

15.CD IN - Your GT Series amplifier features a CD input which you can use with a portable CD player, cassette, mini disk or MP3 player. You can use the CD input to jam with pre-recorded tracks or to learn a riff from a favorite recording.

16.PHONES - Connect any stereo headphone (600 ohms or less) to this standard 1/4" stereo jack. When a plug is inserted into the headphone jack, the speaker output is disconnected, allowing you to use your GT60 as a practice amplifier. The level of the signal sent to the headphones is determined by the setting of the Volume knob—at the point where a con- nected speaker would clip, the headphones will clip.

WARNING: Because even the smallest GT Series amplifier is capable of generating extremely high headphone signal levels, always start with the Volume knob at minimum and then slowly turn it up. In particular, a clicking sound is an indication of distortion and possible damage to the headphones (and/or your hearing!); don’t let things get to that point!

17.POWER switch - Use this to power the GT Series on or off. When powered on, an LED inside this switch is lit.
