Channel Two is like owning a second, modern hot-rodded amp with more soaring gain than previously found in a Fender tube amp. The signal from pin 9 of Relay K1B feeds through the Channel Two Gain control (R25) to the first (V3A) and then second (V3B) stage of the overdrive circuitry.

’94 TWIN AMP THEORY OF OPERATION(CONT) Reverb return circuit uses JFET Q1. Without a footswitch connected to the footswitch jack, diode CR17 enables the reverb to function. V6A amplifies the reverb return signal. Note that V6A should provide a minimum gain of 49. The output from V6A drives the Reverb control (R62), then sums with the dry signal through R63.
’94 TWIN AMP THEORY OF OPERATION(CONT) switch from +454Vdc to +230Vdc. This voltage change only affects the four output tubes. The high voltage supplies for the preamp tubes are tapped off prior to the output switch (S9). When switching the high voltages at the power tubes, the negative Bias voltage must also be switched.
