[VOLUME] knob
Adjusts the volume. If BOOST is off, settings of 0–6 will provide
undistorted clean sound, and settings of 6–12 provide a light
crunch sound with some power-amp distortion.
* The settings shown above are approximate. The setting at which
distortion begins and the degree of distortion will depend on
the guitar that's connected.
[BOOST] button
Turning the [BOOST] button on produces a thick and solid distorted
sound based on a circuit that produces distortion in the preamp
tube.
[TONE] button
Turning the [TONE] button on produces a sparkling high range
that's based on adjusting the capacitors of the volume circuit and
feedback circuit.
