The Top Panel

1. INPUT jack

This is where you plug your guitar into the Brian May Special. Please use a high quality guitar cable.

2. GAIN control

This adjusts the gain of the Brian May Special’s Booster section and, in so doing, affects the overall gain of the amplifier. Turning this control up (clockwise) will produce rich, overdriven tones that range from mildly crunchy to maximum saturation. Also, when this control is turned down to low settings, your sound will clean up nicely. This control is also extremely effective when you are using the BOOSTER OUTPUT (3) to drive the pre-amp of another amplifier.

3. BOOSTER OUTPUT jack

This output allows you to use the Brian May Special’s Booster section to drive the pre-amp of another amplifier. Doing this will “push” the input of the amplifier you connect it to into a smooth, overdriven sound and will add sustain and musical harmonics. Remember, the BOOSTER section of the Brian May Special is an exact emulation of the homemade Treble Booster pedal Brian uses to drive the Normal channel of his AC30s whenever he is playing live or in the studio.
