Standard 1/4" jack for connection to the output of your guitar or last pedal if using effects before the amp.
Clean Channel Gain and EQ controls
2
Volume control for Clean channel and passive tone controls that regulate the low (bass) and high (treble)
frequencies of the clean channel's tone.

CHANNEL SWITCH

3
Allows selection of the two different channels. The"IN"position of the switch selects the 'LEAD' channel and
the"OUT"position selects the 'Clean' channel.
NOTE: Channel selection may also be achieved by using the included footswitch.
If remote selection is desired, the CHANNEL switch (#2) must be set to the"IN" position.

GATE SWITCH

4
This activates the footswitchable preset input gate function when engaged. Rather than being a simple noise
gate, the intention is that this be used in conjunction with the Lead BOOST (6) to achieve a more "precise"
muting characteristic in the highest gain modes while controlling all of that insane tube gain. The combination
of this switch setting and the BOOST (6) switch setting will determine what the BST+GATE (26) footswitch
jack will toggle on/off when the footswitch is connected. Whichever switches are pushed "in" will also be
controllable via the footswitch with a single push of the button.
TIGHT Switch
5
This activates the footswitchable TIGHT function when engaged. The TIGHT function reduces the gain and
alters the EQ of the Lead channel to provide a quasi-third channel that mimics the CRUNCH channel on the
original Invective 120 head for a more articulate and full sounding high gain option than that of the full blown
onslaught of the Lead channel. This switch setting must be engaged for footswitch operation when connected
to the TIGHT footswitch jack (26).
BOOST Switch
6
This activates the footswitchable preset input boost function when engaged. Like the Invective 120 head, this
Lead Boost is similar to Misha's favorite TS style boost but at a given setting to save front panel space. The
combination of this switch setting and the GATE (4) switch setting will determine what the BST+GATE (26)
footswitch jack will toggle on or off when the footswitch is connected as described earlier.
LEAD PRE-GAIN
7
This controls the input volume level of the LEAD CHANNEL and, therefore, the amount of gain and overdrive.
LOW, MID & HIGH EQ controls
8
These are passive tone controls that regulate the low (bass), mid and high (treble) frequencies of the tone of the
Lead channel.
