LED VOLUME
6.
Controls the Lead channel volume. Experiment with different combinations of the GAIN
and VOLUME controls to achieve different sounds. Reducing the GAIN while increasing
the VOLUME will result in a warm, open, overdriven sound as the power amp is driven
harder, while reducing the VOLUME and increasing the GAIN will give a tighter, more
modern sound with more distortion. Once set, try using your guitar's volume controls to
interactively adjust tone and distortion levels.
CHANNEL SWITCH
7.
Switches between the LEAD and CLEAN/RHYTHM channels with status LED's to see the
current state at a glance.
CLEAN/RHYTHM SWITCH & CLEAN VOLUME
8.
This switch activates the CLEAN mode on the RHYTHM channel. When operated, the CLEAN
VOLUME control becomes active, while RHYTHM GAIN (9) and RHYTHM VOLUME (12) are
removed from the signal path. When using CLEAN mode, the preamp gain is lowered, resulting in
a cleaner tone. In CLEAN mode, the green LED to the right of the CLEAN VOLUME control
illuminates.
In RHYTHM mode the CLEAN VOLUME control is disabled with the RHYTHM GAIN (9) and
RHYTHM VOLUME (12) taking control of the channel. The green LED to the right of the CLEAN
VOLUME control turns off.

DYNAMICS
13.
This allows control over the response of the amplifier at lower frequencies. Turning this
control clockwise gives a looser low end, while lower settings provide a tighter response
with the optimal setting dependant on the speaker cabinet used.
