Front Panel Functions
NOR Input Jack- High impedance input to the amplifier. Plug in your instrument here.
FET Input Jack-This input sends the signal through a single FET(Field Effect Transistor) stage.
PREAMP Section
Volume- - Adjusts the overall gain of the amplifier. Start with this control in the 12 o'clock position. Keep in mind that the
amount of gain set here determines the signal level feeding the lead channel. Low gain settings of this control will require
higher lead gain settings for the same amount of overdrive.
Bright- Boosts the high frequency response. This is most effective when the input gain is set at 12 o'clock or lower. The ef-
fect is less dramatic as the input gain control is adjusted past the 12 o'clock position.
Mid- Boosts the mid range frequency response.
This switch allows you to choose between 2 completely different equalization settings. JAZZ is a
Rock/Jazz-
lower gain setting, with extended midrange and bass available when used in conjunction with the middle and
bass controls as well as the deep switch. This setting is suitable for any style requiring a pure clean tone with a
nice round bottom and plenty of headroom. ROCK is a higher gain setting. This setting is suitable for any style
requiring a clean to slightly distorted tone in clean mode, and more gain in the lead mode.
Treble Control- Adjusts the high frequency response. In the full counter-clockwise position, high frequencies are bypassed
to ground. In the full clockwise position, high frequencies are allowed to pass to the next gain stage.
Middle Control- Adjusts the mid-range response. In the full counter-clockwise position, the tone will be somewhat
"scooped" of mid-range response, emphasizing the highs and lows. In the full clockwise position, mid-range frequencies are
allowed to pass to the next gain stage.
Bass Control- Adjusts the bass response. In the full counter-clockwise position, low frequencies are cut. In addition, the
response of the treble and mid-range controls is greatly reduced. In the full clock¬wise position, low frequencies are allowed
to pass to the next gain stage.
Overdrive Section
Level- Adjusts the input level (gain) of the lead channel.
Ratio- Adjusts the output level of the lead channel.
Power Amp Section
Master- Adjusts the overall output level of the amplifier.
Adjusts the contour of high-frequency response. The high-frequency response will increase as you
Presence-
advance the control clockwise.
Indicator Lamp- This lamp will illuminate when the power switch is in the "up" position, indicating the unit is receiving
A/C power.
NOTE: All switches are ON in the "up" position
