Sample Settings

Dynamic Style

SELECT : LEAD

DYNA AMP is an original amp that uses relative picking strength to create changes in distortion depth.

First, adjust the GAIN knob so that a clean tone is obtained with soft picking and deep distortion is obtained when you pick hard.

Now, mixing arpeggios played with a gentle touch along with firmly picked chords and solos results in a guitar sound with huge dynamics.

Now, to create a broader, more open sound, cut the midrange and raise the low end and presence.

Using this in combination with the EFX and delay and reverb creates a sound with an even greater feeling of scale.

Country Twang

SELECT : LEAD

Mersey Beat

A dry, distinctive country sound.

The BLACK PANEL amp has a powerful midrange supported by a thick, solid low end, providing a clean sound that is punchy and sweet.

By adjusting the sound while maintaining the balance between the low and high ends, and in some cases cutting back on the midrange, you bring out the guitar's bright resonance even more.

Adding deep tremolo and reverb creates a good effect on guitars equipped with single-coil pickups.

On guitars equipped with humbucking pickups, turning down the highs creates a sweet sound that is perfectly matched for jazz and similar genres.

SELECT : LEAD

This is the famous Liverpool sound from the past.

This sound features a mild distortion that still lets all the notes in a chord come through clearly and distinctly.

Raise the midrange and presence on the BRIT COMBO amp to create a lively, energetic sound.

Adjust the GAIN knob so that sound does not distort too much when you play chords.

Use of a rear pickup provides a powerful sound with no muddiness, producing a beautiful resonance when mixing open strings with chords.

The sound may distort excessively when a guitar equipped with humbucking pickups or other high-output guitar is used. If this occurs, you can reduce the gain in order to get a good balance between the guitar sound and the distortion sound, or alternatively, you can adjust the sound by cutting back the low end.
