Factory Reset
The default factory patches and settings can be restored to your amplifier at any
time. Simply hold down the MOD, DLY and REV switches simultaneously, whilst
switching on the amplifier.
The voice LED will count down to indicate that a factory reset is imminent. If any of
the MOD, DLY and REV switches are released before the Voice LEDs have switched
off, then the operation is cancelled and the amplifier will remain unaffected.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This process will overwrite any user saved patches and settings.

Front Panel
1. Input
Plug your guitar in here.
Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.
2. Voice
The Voice control changes the preamp voicing, ranging from ultra clean to extremely
overdriven.
 Clean Warm – Classic clean, dynamic
 Clean Bright – ‘Boutique’, will break up when pushed hard
 Crunch – Classic medium gain overdrive
 Super Crunch – More gain and punch than Crunch
 OD 1 – Hot-rodded Master Volume overdrive
 OD 2 – Mid boosted overdrive
This setting is saved when you store a patch.
3. Gain
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
turned clockwise the sound will become more overdriven, moving through beautiful
crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted tone is achieved. This
setting is saved when you store a patch.
4. Volume
This controls the preamp volume. High levels of volume will introduce the effect of
valve power amp distortion and compression. This is a global setting and not saved
when storing a patch.
5. ISF
The patented ISF control allows you to choose the
exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully counter clockwise
has a more American characteristic with a tight bottom-
end and more aggressive middle, and fully clockwise
has a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and
less aggressive. This leads to a very familiar, musical
response. This setting is saved when you store a patch.
6. MOD (Modulation)
Press this switch to turn the stereo modulation effect on, off, or focus the effect for
editing. This setting is saved when you store a patch.
7. DLY (Delay)
Press this switch to turn the stereo delay effect on, off, or focus the effect for editing.
This setting is saved when you store a patch.
