VOLUME: Controls volume level.
TREBLE AND BASS: Controls respective high-frequency and low-frequency signal levels.
REVERB: Controls reverb effect level. No reverb effect is heard when this control is turned fully counterclockwise. Reverb can also be turned on and off using the included two-button footswitch.
SPEED: Controls rate of the tremolo effect. Tremolo can also be turned on and off using the included two-button footswitch.
INTENSITY: Controls depth of the tremolo effect. No tremolo effect is heard when this control is turned fully counterclockwise.
