FRONT PANEL FEATURES
Input Jack – Designed to accept a standard 1/4-inch mono phone plug. For
best results use a high quality shielded cable to connect your instrument to
the amplifier. The input is buffered and will handle standard passive, high
level active, and piezo input signals.
Mute switch – Mutes all the outputs except the Tuner Out, allowing for
silent tuning. Lead singers and guitarists love this feature! The indicator to
the left of the switch lights up when Mute is ON. This switch is duplicated
on the footswitch.
Compressor Bypass switch – Disengages the compressor circuit. The
indicator to the right of the switch lights up when the compressor is
disengaged. This switch is duplicated on the footswitch.
Gain Control – Regulates the first gain stage of the preamplifier and
controls the amount of signal available to the system.
Set Level Indicator – This light helps the user set the appropriate amount of
gain. When set properly, the indicator should light on your loudest/lowest
notes. We’ll go over this in more detail later in the manual.
Compressor Ratio and Threshold Controls –The WTX1000N's internal,
studio-quality compressor uses a dbx-style, state of the art compressor chip
with a fully adjustable Ratio and Threshold. Ratio sets the amount of
compression, while Threshold determines when compression will take place.
Tube Character Control – Controls the amount of tube “grit” in your
sound. This unique feature allows you to set up the exact amount of edge, or
tube-style distortion, you need for your sound. The effect produces a subtle,
soft asymmetric (single-sided) distortion. It operates like a vacuum tube in a
light overload condition, producing a warm character. The overall effect is
much more pronounced at higher input levels. With the control set at the far
left position (sine wave), there is no effect on the signal. As you turn the
control toward the right side (square wave), the effect becomes more
noticeable.
Enhance Control – Called the “Magic Knob” by some, this complex
control simultaneously boosts the very low bass, upper middle, and high
frequencies while putting a dip in the lower middle frequencies.
It is flat when set to its minimum level (fully counterclockwise).
