INPUTS
1. NORMAL jack Plugging your guitar into this input will route your signal through the NORMAL
channel. Top jack for high Input, and bottom jack for low input.
2. TOP BOOST jack Plugging your guitar into this input will route your signal through the TOP BOOST
channel. Top jack for high Input, and bottom jack for low input.
NORMAL
3. VOLUME control This determines the sensitivity of the preamp section in the NORMAL channel.
Depending on where this is set, you can either blend in more gain by turning it
clockwise or you can turn it anticlockwise for a cleaner sound. The NORMAL
volume can be used in conjunction with the MASTER volume which will allow you
to get the perfect balance between distortion and overall volume. I.e. if you keep
the NORMAL volume low and the MASTER volume high, you will get a clean
sound at a high volume. Conversely, if you keep the NORMAL volume high and
the MASTER volume low you will get more distortion at a lower overall volume.
TOP BOOST
NOTE! The tone controls on the TOP BOOST channel are very interactive, eg increasing
the level of the TREBLE control will cut the BASS level. It is best to begin with the
Tone controls at 12 o’clock and experiment to find your perfect tone.
4. VOLUME control This determines the sensitivity of the preamp section in the TOP BOOST channel.
Depending on where this is set, you can either blend in more gain by turning it
clockwise or you can set it lower for a cleaner, “chimey” sound. The TOP BOOST
Volume can be used in conjunction with the MASTER volume which will allow you
to get the perfect balance between distortion and overall volume. I.e. If you keep
the TOP BOOST volume low and the MASTER volume high, you will get a clean
sound at a high volume. Conversely, if you keep the TOP BOOST volume high
and the MASTER volume low you will get more distortion at a lower overall vol-
ume.
5. TREBLE control This controls the high frequencies in your sound—from soft and round when
turned down (counterclockwise) to bright and cutting when cranked (clockwise)
and all points in-between.
6. BASS control This controls the low frequencies in your sound—from thin and light when turned
down (counterclockwise) to warm and heavy when turned up full (clockwise) and
all points in-between.
