CHANNEL SELECT: This channel selector switch activates either the CLEAN or OVERDRIVE channel. The OVERDRIVE channel is active when the button is pressed.

RED OVERDRIVE LED: The red LED illuminates when the OVERDRIVE channel is active.

MODE: Overdrive Mode button; it allows you to switch back and forth between two distinct overdrive characteristics.

OVERDRIVE GAIN: Controls the amount of distortion in the OVERDRIVE channel.

OVERDRIVE MASTER: Determines the OVERDRIVE channel volume level in relation to the CLEAN channel volume level.

EQ SECTION: Common BASS, MID and TREBLE controls for the both channels. MID and TREBLE controls influence each other, as is standard in tube amps: if you boost the treble, the mids are cut and vice versa. This sound-shaping feature allows you to dial in a wide variety of subtle tonal variations.

FX-MIX: Controls the amount of reverb or delay depending on which effect was preselected.

DELAY: Varies the delay time.

FEEDBACK: This knob controls the amount of feedback for the delay effect.

CHORUS RATE: Controls the rate or speed of the chorus effect.

REVERB: Controls how much integrated reverb is added to the signal. Reverb is automatically adjusted for each channel when you switch channels.

MASTER: Controls the amp‘s master volume level. The LINE OUT signal is unaffected by the MASTER control.

REAR PANEL:

LINE OUT: Use this jack to feed the signal to the input of an

FX processor. You can also route the signal to a second power amp or through a RED BOX to a mixing console.

LINE IN: If you are sending the LINE OUT signal to an FX processor, connect the output from that processor to this jack.

FOOTSWITCH: This jack is for a standard footswitch (e.g. Hughes

&Kettner FS-2) and it allows you to switch back and forth between the CLEAN and OVERDRIVE channels and to switch the effects on/off. When using a footswitch, ensure the CHANNEL SELECT switch on the amp‘s front panel

is set to CLEAN.

PHONES: Headphone jack. The speaker is automatically switched off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

MAINS: Connect the included Euro-norm mains cord to this socket. Ensure the amp's voltage rating matches your local AC voltage rating before you plug the cord into the wall socket.
