FRONT PANEL:
1. INPUT: Plug your guitar in here. We recommend that you always use a high-quality shielded guitar
cable to prevent any background noise interference or unwanted feedback.
2. VOLUME: This control determines the output volume of the amplifier's clean setting.
3. (Overdrive) GAIN: This control determines the distortion intensity of the amplifier's overdrive setting.
Adding GAIN will make your guitar sound more distorted.
4. (Overdrive) SWITCH: This switch activates the amplifier's built-in overdrive function, which adds
distortion to the signal.
5. (Overdrive) VOLUME: This control determines the output volume of the amplifier's overdrive setting.
Adding VOLUME will make your distorted guitar sound louder and clearer.
6. TREBLE: This control determines the level of high frequencies in the output signal. Adding TREBLE will
make your guitar sound brighter and sharper.
7. MID: This control determines the level of middle frequencies in the output signal. Adding MID will make
your guitar sound rounder and fuller.
8. PARAMETRIC MID: This control allows you to fine tune your guitar sound by cutting or boosting the
mid frequency parameters of the output signal. At a low level, the PARAMETRIC MID control will emphasize
the lower mids, while increasing the level will bring out the upper mids. The PARAMETRIC MID control can
help you explore a wide variety of different guitar tones.
9. BASS: This control determines the level of low frequencies in the output signal. Adding BASS will make
your guitar sound warmer and heavier.
10. BUILT-IN EFFECT:
•SPRING REVERB (40 GA R only):
This is the reverb intensity control. This controls the amount of
reverb that is added back to the original dry signal. Adding REVERB will produce a reverberation effect
in your guitar sound, as though you were playing in a large hall. A little can go a long way in adding that
special depth to your sound. If engaged, the reverb is always active in either overdrive or clean mode.
•DSP (40 GA DSP only):
- Volume: This control determines the mix level of the amplifier's internal DSP effects in relation to the
dry signal when DSP is engaged.
- Program: This selector enables the user to choose among 16 internal DSP effects: 1-Long dry Delay •
2-Flanger + short Reverb • 3-Flanger + long Reverb • 4-Short Delay w/ multiple repeat + medium Reverb
• 5-Medium Delay w/ multiple repeat + long Reverb • 6-Short Reverb 2 • 7-Medium Reverb 2 • 8-Deep
Chorus + medium Reverb • 9-Normal Chorus + short Reverb • 10-Short Delay w/ short repeat • 11-Slap-
back Delay • 12-Cathedral • 13-Large Hall • 14-Short Reverb 1 + very light Chorus • 15-Medium Reverb 1
• 16-Medium wet Delay w/ multiple repeat.

WARNING:
This amplifier must be earthed. Please check that the supply voltage details given on the
rating label (located on the rear panel) are in accordance with your electricity supply.
1 MAINS INPUT: This is the input socket into which the mains power cable must be connected. This
amplifier is supplied with a power cable with a moulded-on plug. If the socket outlets in the home are
not suitable for this plug, use an appropriate plug adapter that can handle the power required for the
amplifier.
2 POWER FUSE: In the event of the power fuse having to be replaced, first unplug the power cable
from the mains outlet. Then remove the fuse cover and replace the power fuse with another fuse of the
same type and value. Never plug the power cable back into the mains outlet without the fuse cover. If
the power fuse blows up again when powering on the amplifier, take the apparatus to a suitable service
centre for repair.
