(6)INPUT

Input jack will accept signals from all types of guitar pickups. Be sure to use a high quality shielded instrument cable to connect the guitar to the amplifier.

(7)VOLUME

Controls the volume level of the Clean channel and is not affected by the Lead, Pre or Post Gain controls.

(8)PRE GAIN

Controls the input volume level of the Lead channel. The Pre Gain can be used to control the distortion level in the Lead channel. To obtain more distortion simply increase the Pre Gain and set the Post Gain (9) to the desired volume level.

(9)POST GAIN

Controls the overall volume level of the Lead channel. The final level adjustment should be made after the desired sound has been achieved.

(10)MODERN/VINTAGE SWITCH

This switch allows you to instantly change the voicing to reflect the tones of modern and vintage amplifiers. The MODERN position maintains a warm, standard voicing. The VINTAGE position changes the overall function of the EQ and adds a hint of brightness to emulate some classic amp designs. Experiment with this switch, along with the EQ (11) adjustments, to capture your desired tone. You may refer to the Recommended Settings on page 6 for some creative starting points.

(11)LOW, MID AND HIGH EQ

Passive tone controls that regulate the low, mid and high frequencies, respectively.

(12)CHANNEL SELECT

This switch selects the channel (Lead or Clean). The ACTIVE CHANNEL LEDs (13) indicate the active channel — green for Clean; red for Lead.

(13)ACTIVE CHANNEL LEDs

These indicators signify the active channel. Green indicates Clean channel activation; red indicates Lead channel activation.
