GAIN 1 adjusts the signal strength coming out of the first gain stage, and going into the second tube stage. Think of this as a
global "gain" control. Depending on the BRIGHT 1 setting, you can also use this to shape the high and low frequency response
of your Chupacabra.
BRITE 1 is a high-frequency boost that can be used to add sparkle and gain to your tone. In the middle position, BRITE 1 is
defeated. In the left position, it boosts upper mid and high frequencies, and adds noticeable gain. With the toggle switch in the
right position, it boosts extreme high frequencies, and adds less gain boost than the right position. In conjunction with an active
Brite 1, lower GAIN 1 settings will also trim the bottom end. This high frequency boost / low frequency cut is more prominent as
GAIN 2 is turned down.
GAIN 2 adjusts the signal strength coming out of the second gain stage, and going into the third tube stage. Think of this as a
"saturation" control that will impact pick attack, compression, and feel. Depending on the BRITE 2 setting, you can also use this
to shape the high and low frequency response of your Son of Yeti.

MASTER sets the overall volume of Son of Yeti.
ERA provides 3 tonal options for the SOY. You can think of this covering 3 different decades of tone. In the middle position,
the amplifier will be cleaner, less compressed, and very woody. We consider this our late '60s, or Plexi mode. The right
position is our '80s voicing. This adds saturation and compression, and is reminiscent of '80s modded Plexis coming out of LA.
The left position is our modern voicing and adds even more saturation, and also evens the top end and overtones. We love this
mode for all things metal and soloing.
