Button 1 (labeled CH 1/2) will control switching between the two channels (i.e. clean to dirty). Once on Channel 2, button 2 (labeled CH2 A/B) will toggle between the two volume/gain controls on Channel 2. The intended use for the two settings is rhythm/lead so button 1 will take you to crunch and button 2 then takes you to a lead channel. Clearly they can be used for two different rhythm sounds as well if you use outboard rack or pedal effects to obtain your lead tones.
Note: the front panel switches will override the footswitch. Hence, for the footswitch to operate correctly, all front panel switches must be in the “off” position, which is toward the right when facing the front panel.
