CONTROLS

FRONT PANEL

1. INPUT SOCKET
Plug in the input jack from your guitar here, suits any standard 6.3mm mono jack.
2. BOOST CONTROL
The boost control is an additional gain setting that acts as a boost pedal in front of your DUALTOP,
driving your signal for more distortion. The LED above the control indicates when it is active and will
work on both channels simultaneously. Ensure the switch is set to on when using a footswitch to
control it. It's especially pleasing when used to push the clean channel into slight breakup.
3. CHANNEL 1 SETTINGS
Gain and volume settings to control your desired level for channel 1. The Gain Character Switch (GCS)
can either be clean, asymmetrical or symmetrical, allowing for refined control over the distortion
characteristics of the channel.
• CLEAN – Least amount of compression with this setting, more open tone with softer clipping.
•
ASYM – Provides asymmetrical wave clipping adding more distortion whilst retaining some
clarity and dynamics. Plenty of second harmonics
•
SYM – Symmetrical wave clipping giving a more aggressive distortion for a high gain,
compressed sound.
4. CHANNEL SWITCH
Switch between the two channels. Ensure channel 2 is selected when using the footswitch to control
channel.
5. CHANNEL 2 SETTINGS
Gain and volume settings to control your desired level for channel 2. Channel 2 has more gain and a
voicing switch which can be set to either neutral, bright or dark.
•
NEUTRAL – No change to your signal
•
BRIGHT – Extends the high frequencies and slightly dulls the low-end.
•
DARK – Boosts the low-end frequencies adding some warmth to your tone, whilst reducing the
power of the high frequencies.
6. EQ SETTINGS
A 3-band passive EQ stack to further modify your sound. The three controls are linked so however
you tweak them, the DUALTOP will always provide you with a musical tone.
• BASS – Adjusts the strength of the low-end response, gives a deeper sound when turned
clockwise.
•
MIDDLE – Adjusts the strength of the mid-range response, giving a fuller sound when turned
up.
