Dialing in Channel 1 (Clean)

Your clean channel is capable of a huge array of tones ranging from full, round crystal cleans to vintage classic rock crunch including blues/Texas blues tones and everything in between. Our suggestions?

Start for true clean tones first. Set the gain around 2, dial your tone controls to 5, bring your volume up to the desired level, then work your tone knobs.

For blues tones or more break up, try a few things. Try bringing the gain up first leaving the volume in place. Now, pick any spot on the gain setting (above at least 3) and varying the volume controls. For a punchier, rounder blues tone, you’ll find lower gain settings with high volume to be great. For more break up, bring the volume not quite as high, but drive the gain more.

For classic rock tones, try the gain knob anywhere from 6-8 and vary the volume control (same principle – high volume lower gain is punchier and tighter, lower volume, more gain is grittier and meaner.

NOTE: Work your guitar’s volume knob and listen to how well the amp cleans up. Try a setting with more gain, then roll off your guitar’s volume to clean it up, rolling the volume back up for grittier passages or leads.
