1.Input 1: ¼-inch input jack that is intended for electric guitars but will accept other instruments as well. This input provides the highest gain. It is considered to be the “normal” input.

2.Input 2: This ¼-inch input jack provides 6 dB lower gain so it will allow for a cleaner sound. It can also be useful when using pedals in front of the amp since it provides more headroom. If guitars are plugged into both inputs, they will mix together and both will be 6 dB lower in gain.

3.Gain (Lead): Adjust this control clockwise to increase the amount of distortion. Use in its lower ranges to produce less distorted tones. As you increase the amount of gain, the tonality will shift from a classic rock-type sound to a heavier, modern tone.

4.Volume (Lead): This controls the overall volume level of the Lead channel only.

5.Channel: This switch selects between the Lead and Rhythm channels.

6.Volume (Rhythm): This controls the overall volume level of the Rhythm channel only.

7.Bass: This controls the bass frequencies for both channels. For a “tighter” bass response, set the Bass control in its lower ranges.

8.Middle: This controls the middle frequencies for both channels. For a heavier, more distorted sound, set the Middle control in its lower ranges. For a vintage-style, cleaner tone, set the Middle higher.

9.Treble: This controls the treble frequencies for both channels. Set this control in its higher ranges to brighten up dark- sounding guitars or, alternately, in its lower ranges to reduce brightness.

10.Delay/Reverb: This switch selects between Delay or Reverb effects. Press switch in to choose Delay.

11.Effects: This control increases the effect signal level and mixes it with the instrument’s signal. Turn this control clockwise to add the desired level of effects.

12.Chorus: By pressing in, this switch activates a lush Chorus effect. (Note: When Chorus is activated, it is always mixed with either Delay or Reverb, as selected by the Delay/Reverb switch.)

13.Aux In: This is a 3-conductor, 1/8-inch, stereo jack that allows playback from a Compact Disc, MP3 player or other audio device. The overall volume level will be determined by the audio device, so start with lower volume levels and increase as needed.

14.Headphones: This is a 3-conductor, 1/8-inch jack intended for headphone use. Speaker cabinets will remain active when using headphones. For silent practice, speaker cabinets may be disconnected from the head.

15.Power Switch: This dual-function component is both an On/Off power switch and a status indicator light. When illuminated, it shows that your amplifier is ready to be played. To turn amplifier on, press switch upward. To turn amp off, press switch downward.
