K.TIMBRE - Press repeatedly to select an amp character as indicated by the LEDs. Your selection is stored and automatically activated for each channel (Normal, Drive 1, Drive 2).

TIMBRE FILTERS: These pre-set Equalizer curves allow the Dyna–Touch amps to create seven very different voices on each channel. FLAT—Preamp and Power Amp signal without further equalization. BRIGHT—Treble boost, especially effective for brightening the tone of double–coil pickups. DARK—Treble cut, especially effective for traditional Jazz tones with the Normal channel. DEEP—Bass boost, especially effective for beefing up the tone of single–coil pickups. SCOOP—A severe low–mid scoop with bass boost designed for modern distortion tones. SQUAWK—A strong mid peak reminiscent of a partially depressed Wah–Wah pedal; great for distorted solos that need to cut through the mix. ACOUSTIC—Simulates the sound of an acoustic–electric guitar with extreme high treble boost and bass boost; best with the Normal channel. Note: This much Timbre flexibility requires that you use a little common sense! It is possible to get “too much of a good thing,” such as undesirable treble harshness or bass boominess depending on your particular guitar, playing style and knob settings.

L.TUNER - Activates the tuner and mutes audio output. Strike a string and the top row of LEDs indicate the nearest note. Sharp/flat notes are indicated by two LEDs; for example, A and

B light up to indicate A sharp (B flat). The bottom row of LEDs indicate fine tuning.

M.REVERB LEVEL - Adjusts the level of the active Reverb.

N.REVERB TYPE - Selects the active Reverb (see next page).

O.EFFECTS LEVEL - Adjusts the level of the active effect.

P.EFFECTS SELECT - Selects the active effect (see next page).

Q.TIME/RATE - Adjusts the interval length / modulation speed of the active effect (see next page).
