FEEDBACK -
The Feedback control is essential to the sound and function of this pre amp. It affects
the sound and function of the amplifier in many ways. THD, frequency response, and gain change
considerably with varying feedback. Using the Feedback in combination with the Gain control
creates a wide range of tones - thick, bright, lots of color - choose your tone!
PAD -
Use Pad to run Gain and Feedback controls near full or increased low end and harmonic
distortion.
THICK -
The thick adds a gentle (well maybe not so gentle!) low frequency rise for warmth and
roundness. The effect varies slightly with the load on the pre amp and has a bit of life of its own!
48 VOLT SWITCHING - 48 volt switches phantom power.
PHASE - Reverses the polarity of the pre amp's output.
DI/UNBALANCED IN - This is an unbalanced input for guitar, bass, samples, etc. Simply throw
the toggle switch and you're off. Jack directly into the Class A circuit to provide a tone different
than a standard direct box.
Controls and Features
GAIN/GERMANIUM DRIVE - A gain switch in 3dB, is the standard input level type control. The Gain
interacts with the feedback control to offer a variety of tones. Driving this control tends to accent
low frequency and gives a thicker tone.
