1.INPUT: Use this jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier using a shielded instrument cable.

2.VOLUME: Use this to adjust the output level of the Clean Channel.

3.CHANNEL Select: Depress this switch to activate the Overdrive channel. The Clean channel is active when the switch is in the out position.

4.GAIN: Use this to adjust the gain for the Overdrive channel. With the control turned counter-clockwise, the gain is low and very little distortion is present. As you rotate it clockwise, the gain increases, producing more overdrive distortion, and a higher output volume level.

5.BOOST: Push this switch in to boost the output by 10 dB at 900 Hz. This adds more punch to the midrange frequen- cies.

6.LEVEL: Use this to adjust the output level of the Overdrive channel.

7.TREBLE: Use this to adjust the output level of the high frequencies of the selected channel. The adjustment range is 12 dB at 6 kHz.

8.MIDDLE: Use this to adjust the output level of the mid frequencies of the selected channel. The adjustment range is 10 dB at 1 kHz.

9.BASS: Use this to adjust the output level of the low frequencies of the selected channel. The adjustment range is 8 dB at 150 Hz.

10.PRESENCE: Use this to adjust the over- all brightness and punch of the output signal.

11.REVERB: Use this to adjust the amount of reverb for the selected channel. Fully counter-clockwise is “dry” (no reverb).

Rotate clockwise to increase the amount of reverb.

12.LAMP: This illuminates when the ampli- fier is turned on.

13.ON/STANDBY Switch: Use this switch to activate the amplifier after the On/Off switch (14) is turned on.

Always turn this switch OFF first, and ON last! Turn the On/Off switch (14) on at least 30 seconds before turning on the standby switch.

During short breaks, you should turn this switch off, and leave the On/Off switch on. This will help prolong the life of the amplifier tubes.

14.ON/OFF SWITCH: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on and off.

Always turn this switch ON first and OFF last! Turn the Standby switch (13) on at least 30 seconds after turning on the On/Off switch.
