Yeah, I read that already. I love '80s hair metal. Can this amp do that?
- Hell yeah! Put the GAIN controls at 12:00, both BRIGHT switches to the left. Select ERA in the right ('80s)
position. Turn the MASTER up to about 1:00. Turn MIDRANGE all the way up, start with BASS around
11:00, TREBLE around 2:00. PRESENCE and RESONANCE around 10:00. Make sure you have your
spandex handy.
Wait, I actually love metal. Can this amp do that?
- Hell yeah! Put Gain 1 at 1:30, Gain 2 at 11:00. Both BRIGHT switches to the left. Select ERA in the left
(modern) position. Turn the MASTER up to about 3:00. Start with BASS around 9:30, MIDRANGE around
11:00, TREBLE around 2:00. PRESENCE around 11:00 and RESONANCE around 1:00. Make sure your
neck is properly stretched beforehand.
Sorry, I just want to rock. Classic-like. Can this amp do that?
- Hell yeah! To get the sound of a classic Plexi, try the following: Set GAIN 2 around 9:30. Set BRIGHT 2 to
middle position. Turn RESONANCE all the way counter clockwise. Set TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS, and
PRESENCE to taste. Turn BRIGHT 1 to far right position. Turn up the MASTER all the way, and use GAIN 1
as a traditional channel volume on a non-master volume Plexi. Make sure your school boy uniform is clean.
Do I need to use a matched and balanced phase inverter?
- It is not necessary. Feel free to experiment with different tubes (of the same type) in your Chupacabra,
though!
