1)Input 1—This 1⁄4” input jack provides the highest gain through the amp. It is considered to be the “normal” input.

2)Input 2—This 1⁄4” input jack provides 6dB lower gain through the amp, so it will allow for a cleaner sound. It can also be useful when us- ing pedals in front of the amp, since it provides more headroom through the front end. If a guitar is plugged into both inputs, then they will mix together and will both be 6dB lower in gain.

3)Rhythm Indicator—the word “Rhythm” lights up when the Rhythm channel is active.

4)Rhythm Volume/Pull Bright—The Rhythm Volume control adjusts the gain at the input of the amplifier when the Rhythm channel is active. It is used in conjunction with the Rhythm Master to adjust the amount of distortion and volume for the channel. For cleaner sounds, this con- trol would be set to lower settings and the Master set higher. For slight breakup, the controls would be set in their middle ranges. For heavier distortion, set the Rhythm Volume higher and the Master lower. Pulling the Pull Bright will increase the high frequencies of the signal, while also reducing low frequencies for a chunkier, tighter attack. This function is

very useful for fine-tuning the amp’s tone and feel for different guitars.

5)Rhythm Master—The Rhythm Master sets the overall volume of the Rhythm channel, and can be used to balance the volumes between it and the Lead channel. The inclusion of individual Master volumes for each channel means that the Rhythm channel of the Coupe can be used for slight breakup sounds at lower volumes, rather than strictly being a “clean” channel. These settings are described in detail in the previous section entitled 4) Rhythm Volume/Pull Bright.

6)Channel Selector Switch—When the footswitch is NOT plugged into the footswitch jack, this switch allows the user to select either Rhythm or Lead channels on the Coupe. If the footswitch IS plugged in, it over-rides the front panel switch.

7)Lead Indicator—the word “Lead” lights up when the Lead channel is active.

8)Lead Volume/Pull Bright—The Lead Volume control adjusts the gain at the input of the amplifier when the Lead channel is active. It is used in conjunction with the Lead Master to adjust the amount of distortion and volume for the channel. For cleaner sounds, this control would be set to
