Controls and Functions

CLEAN
This amp type is optimized for clean tones, effectively
simulating the tight brilliance of transistor amplifiers.
The tonal character of this amp model provides an
ideal platform for recording with multi-effects. It also
features built-in chorus and vibrato effects.
VOLUME
Adjusts the amplifier's input level.
DISTORTION
Adjusts the depth of distortion produced.
TREBLE/MIDDLE/BASS
These three controls adjusts the amplifier's tonal
response in the high, middle, and low frequency

[Bright] setting emphasizes the high-frequency
overtones.
