1) GUITAR INPUT: Plug your guitar in
here using a high quality, shielded instru-
ment cable.

2) CHANNEL SELECT: The pushbutton
switch to select CHANNEL 1 or CHAN-
NEL 2.
3) CHANNEL 1 TIGHT SWITCH: This
switch is really useful for tightening up
the low end, especially when pushing the
115
gain. It works by cutting the deep bass
at the beginning of the preamp. Setting
the TIGHT switch up (+) will result in a
clearer, tighter tone. Down (-) retains a
full, big low end that is great for a really
robust, fat rhythm sound.
4) CHANNEL 1 BRIGHT SWITCH: As
expected, the (+) setting boosts the high
end. Do experiment with different combi-
nations of the BRIGHT on and TREBLE
knob down compared to the BRIGHT off
and the TREBLE up. You will find that
with the BRIGHT on and the TREBLE
down, the tone will be a little less midr-
angy compared to the BRIGHT off and the
TREBLE turned up.
5) CHANNEL 1 GAIN SWITCH: In the
down (-) position, the gain is normal and is
best for really clean tones. The up (+) set-
ting increases the GAIN making it easy to
dial in some excellent rock and roll crunch
rhythm sounds.
6) CHANNEL1 MIDS SWITCH: Now
this is cool. The MIDS switch allows you
to preset either a mid cut (-) or mid boost
(+) and switch it on and off from the foot-
pedal. Some players prefer to keep the mid
cut on for their "normal" pristine clean
tone and switch it off when the rhythm
needs to jump out. Others keep it off on

the pedal and switch in the cut or boost for
an alternate tone.
7) CHANNEL 1 ON (GREEN) LEDS:
Tells you CHANNEL 1 is active.
8) CHANNEL 1 GAIN: This controls the
amount of "drive" in the CLEAN chan-
nel. Low settings of the GAIN knob (with
higher settings of the VOLUME knob) will
keep the sound big, full and beautiful. You
can also use higher settings of the GAIN
knob, along with the GAIN boost switch,
to push the channel into overdrive for
some really raucous rock & roll tones.
9) CHANNEL 1 TONE CONTROLS:
a b
This channel features a variation of the
familiar passive tone control designs of
many revered classic tube amps. Dial in
beautiful, pristine clean sounds to bold,
powerful overdrive tones. Don't hesitate to
turn the knobs. You'll find a vast array of
stellar sounds.
10) CHANNEL 1 REVERB: Adjusts
the amount of REVERB on CHANNEL 1
only. A unique feature of our reverb is the
"spillover" effect. This allows the Reverb
to trail off naturally after you switch chan-
nels.
11) CHANNEL 1 VOLUME: Adjusts the
loudness of CHANNEL 1.
12) CHANNEL 2 TIGHT SWITCH:
This switch is really useful for tightening
up the low end, especially when pushing
the gain. It works by cutting the deep bass
at the beginning of the high gain preamp.
Setting the TIGHT switch up (+) will
result in a clearer, tighter tone. Setting the
switch to (-) will create a fuller, fatter tone
but can tend to get a little muddy with very
high gain settings, especially with hum-
9 10
bucking type pickups. Find the setting that
suits your style.
13) CHANNEL 2 BRIGHT SWITCH:

As expected, the up (+) setting boosts
the high end. Do experiment with differ-
ent combinations of the BRIGHT on and
TREBLE knob down compared to the
BRIGHT off and the TREBLE up. You
will find that with the BRIGHT on and the
TREBLE down, the tone will be a little
less midrangy compared to the BRIGHT
off and the TREBLE turned up.
14) CHANNEL 2 GAIN SWITCH: In
the down (-) position, the gain is reduced
c d
to make the overdrive a bit more manage-
able. Set the GAIN switch to (+) for the
maximum overdrive.
15) CHANNEL 2 MIDS: The MIDS
switch allows you to preset either a mid
cut (-) or mid boost (+) and switch it on
and off from the footpedal. Some play-
ers prefer to keep the mid cut on for their
"normal" heavy rhythm tone and switch
it off when the guitar needs to jump out
for solos. Others keep it off on the pedal
and switch in the cut or boost for alternate
sounds. This tiny switch opens a whole
new world of tones.
16) CHANNEL 2 ON (RED) LEDs: Tells
you CHANNEL 2 is active.
17) CHANNEL 2 GAIN: The gain knob
controls the amount of overdrive (distor-
tion). Use the least amount of gain to get
"your tone". As always, lower gain set-
tings will result in a tighter, more defined
sound. Higher gain settings are more fun
and make an amp easier to play but can get
more compressed and muddy. Remember,
to try the TIGHT switch with high gain.
