  • Page 6: Introduction

    1. INTRODUCTION This manual first describes the terminology used, so that you can fully understand the ULTRATWIN and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

  • Page 8 Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection.

  • Page 9 MID BOOST MORPHING PRESENCE VOLUME Use both VOLUME controls to optimize the volume ratio of the two channels, so that no volume differences can be heard when switching from one channel to the other. This setting is also effective on the level-dependent digital effects! BASS TREBLE Please note that with all three EQ controls in the OVERDRIVE channel set fully to the left, there...
  • Page 10 numbers will be stored with the channels and can be recalled using the footswitch or the front panel buttons. When MIDI is on, this assignment feature will be disabled, so that in this mode both channels and effects can be selected separately. DOWN When you start editing a preset, the decimal point in the 2-digit display starts flashing.
  • Page 11 EXT. LEFT EXT. RIGHT INTERNAL OFF Since speakers can have quite an impact on the sound of a guitar amp, both the headphones and LINE OUT/TAPE OUT signals are frequency-corrected (Speaker Emulation). Without this frequency correction, extreme treble frequencies would deteriorate the sound. You can still tap the unprocessed signal directly after the pre-amp (INSERT SEND jack), without interrupting the signal path in the amplifier (INSERT RETURN jack may not be used in this case).
