Rear Panel Functions What they do and how to use them

Mid: Use this push/pull control to dial in your midrange frequencies. Mids are the most active part of the EQ circuit. Cutting scoops your tone, sort of like creating a “V” in a graphic equalizer. Boosting them will add more fundamental guitar frequencies.

•Pull “Modern”: This radically changes the EQ of your ampliﬁer. Pulling this control will slightly reduce the mids while raising the bass and treble frequencies. It works best in the Drive mode with the Mid control at a minimum setting.

Treble: Use this control to dial your treble frequencies. Typically, guitars that use single coils will require less treble and humbuckers more.

Drive: This controls the overall distortion of your ampliﬁer.

•Lower settings will offer a blues type of gain

•Mid settings are good for crunch

•Higher settings are great for solo work

Rhythm: Use the Rhythm Control to adjust the gain of your Rhythm Channel

•“Pull Brite”: This control adds brilliance to the Rhythm channel. Use this to create shimmery clean tones and also to give your treble a boost when using guitars with humbuckers and darker-sounding woods.

Input: This is where you plug in your guitar cable.

Footswitch: Plug your Budda single-button footswitch cable here to switch between the Rhythm and Drive channels of your amp. If you forget your switch at the gig, you can pull the Master control to access the Drive channel.

Effects Loop: Superdrive amps have passive series loops. This is where you plug in your effects devices.

Send: Use this jack to send your signal to an external effect unit input, or to another ampliﬁer’s effects return input. This signal comes from the preamp and includes the EQ section and Master Volume control of your ampliﬁer.
