TRIAMP MK II - MANUAL

AMP 1 – CHUNKY CLEAN

+ FAT DRIVE CLEAN

The first amp is dedicated to delivering classic clean sounds.

CHANNEL A sounds full and expansive in the great American tradition. It’s forte is classy clean tone that remains unadulterated by distortion even at high gain settings. It delivers the kind of twang that makes you want to put cow horns on the Toyota. This channel’s low end is like a good burger - big, beefy and served up hot.

CHANNEL B cranks out British-approved class A tone with the trademark shimmering top end and extremely subtle harmonic distortion courtesy of EL84 power amp tubes. Even at lower GAIN settings you get pronounced overtones in the high mids. Pushing the AMP 1 TIGHT button cuts mushy bottom end frequencies hard. These indistinct bass frequencies commonly rear their ugly little heads when clean sounds are dialed in. By their very design, combos’ housings tend to suppress these frequencies. Chances are that you will run the TriAmp® MK II into a 4x 12" cabinet.

If you want to simulate the response of a combo, activate this frequency “correction” button.

The AMP 1 MASTER knob affects Channel B only. Channel A, on the other hand, operates much like vintage amps that were not equipped with master knobs. Twist the GAIN A knob to control the volume and saturation level of Channel A.

AMP 2 – CLASSIC BRITISH DRIVE

What will strike you about the second amp is its extraordinary dynamics at every level of distortion. This responsiveness opens up enormous expressive possibilities by reacting sensitively to the subtleties and nuances of different playing styles.

This amp conveys every detail of your attack – this is as honest as an amp gets.

CHANNEL A cranks out the brand of overdriven tone that graced almost every rock production in the ‘80s. It has an open, British flavor that works great for raw-edged riffing and aggressive chord work.

The more you crank CHANNEL B, the bolder it gets, going from gritty and fat to singing with days of sustain at the twist of a knob. It features a special circuit that injects a very desirable sonic additive into your sound - the kind of power amp distortion that players loved about the old Plexis .
