Knobs

The functionality of the knobs on the front panel of the plug­in corresponds exactly to the front panel of the real amplifier, except that we have added the foot switch as a “Vib­Trem Off­On” switch.

Vib­Trem Off­On: Turn on the vibrato or tremolo effect by moving this switch clock­wise.

Vib­Trem Speed: Three way switch that sets the speed of the vibrato or tremolo effect.

Vib­Trem Switch: Select between a vibrato and a tremolo effect. Unlike the makers of the Brown amp, the guys who built this amp actually knew the difference between a tremolo effect (amplitude modulation of a signal) and a vibrato effect (frequency modulation of a signal). Although this vibrato effect doesn't sound anything like a real­world vibrato (opera­singer­style vibrato), it's a lovely effect that gives the sound that special touch.

Vib­Trem Volume: Volume control of the Vib­Trem channel. This channel is basically the only one of the three channels that has any preamp distortion worth talking of.

Normal Volume: Volume control of the Normal channel. Except for the fuzz­like poweramp distortion on higher volume settings, this channel is very clean and doesn't change the guitar sound so much.

Brilliant Volume: Volume control of the Brilliant channel, which has a much brighter sound than the Normal channel.

Tip: Use the Vib­Trem Volume to get the distortion you want, and then use the Normal and Brilliant Volume as a bass and treble control. If you want a more fuzz­like distortion, use only the Normal and Brillant channel.

Tone: The Tone knob cuts high frequencies when it's turned clock wise.
