THE FRONT PANEL:

1.Power switch is used to turn the amplifier on and off.

2.Power light indicates the amplifier is turned on by glowing an iridescent blue color.

3.Reverb controls the amount of reverbera- tion applied to the signal. With the control at the “0” position there is no reverb applied; as the control is turned towards “10” the amount of reverb increases accordingly.

4.Bass adjusts the output level of the low fre- quencies and offers a cut or boost of 24dB at 50Hz.

5.Mid adjusts the output level of the middle frequencies and offers a cut or boost of 16dB at 800Hz.

6.Treble adjusts the output level of the high frequencies and offers a cut or boost of 12dB at 6kHz.

7.Gain controls the overall output level of the amplifier. At lower volume settings the sound

will be clean. As you push the volume higher and crank your guitar the sound becomes dis- torted.

8.-6dB Input accepts a standard 1/4” instru- ment plug from high output electronic instru- ments. This input is padded 6dB to compen- sate for higher output sources.

9.0dB Input accepts a standard 1/4” instru- ment plug from your electric guitar. This input is at 0dB level.
