Front Panel

1. Input
Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.

2. Gain
This control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion.

When the Clean Channel is selected, low settings counter clockwise (CCW), will
deliver a clean sound. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound
will move from clean into break-up, until at its maximum position, a full crunch tone
is arrived at.

When the Overdrive Channel is selected, the Gain control adjusts the amount of
overdrive or distortion. Low settings, counter clockwise, will deliver a clean sound
on the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is increased CW the sound will become
more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full
distorted lead tone is arrived at.

3. OD (Overdrive)
Press this switch to select the Overdrive Channel. When the switch is in the Overdrive
Channel is selected. When the switch is out the Clean Channel is in operation.

4. Volume
This controls the volume of the Clean and Overdrive Channels. Turning it clockwise
increases the volume.

5. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
The patented ISF control allows you to choose the
exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully CCW has a
more American characteristic with a tight bottom
end and more aggressive middle, and fully CW has
a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and
less aggressive.

6. DELAY LEVEL
Toggle the DL LEVEL knob to change the time that the Delay Time (mentioned
below) lasts – the higher the DL LEVEL setting, the longer the overall delay effect
will last.

7. DELAY TIME
Toggle this knob to change the amount of time for the DELAY TIME effect – turn the
switch clockwise to increase the delay, and counter-clockwise to decrease the delay.

8. MP3 / Line In
Connect the output of your MP3 or CD player here. Adjust the player’s volume to
match that of your guitar to enable you to play along.

Note: the connection is stereo.
