Bright Switch: 3-position switch that varies the overall brightness of the amp. Volume Control: This is the Buxom Betty’s MASTER VOLUME. The more you turn it up the louder it gets. This also adds gain/distortion. Adjust to taste. Don’t be afraid. Treble Control: This adds or takes away treble. Start at 5 and adjust to taste. Middle Control: Adds or takes away midrange. Start at 7-8, lower settings will scoop the mids, higher levels will allow your audience to actually hear the guitar in the mix. Bass Control: This adds or takes away bass or bottom end. As the amp gets louder you may want to back this off a bit. Start at 5 and adjust to taste. Presence Control: This adds or takes away upper mids and highs. Start at about 5 and adjust to taste. Note: This pot will sound scratchy when adjusted – this is normal. Reverb Control: This adds more or less spring reverb. Standby Switch: Turn ON this switch to put the amp in play mode. Wait a minute before turning this on for maximum tube life. Power Switch: Turn this ON to power the amplifier.
