Front Panel 1. INPUT Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar cable. 2. VOLUME This controls the overall gain (input volume) of the amplifier's preamp in both the Clean and Overdrive mode. Turning the control clockwise increases the gain and harmonics. 3.
(This is bypassed when the footswitch is plugged in) 10. MASTER 2 The Cub V amplifier has two independent master volume controls. Like Master 1, this controls the overall amplitude and volume of the amplifier. You can set one Master for rhythm volume and the other for lead solo volumes.
5. FOOTSWITCH The supplied 2-button footswitch is connected here. The footswitch enables you to switch between EF86/12AX7 and Master 1 / Master 2. 6. FX LOOP SEND This output jack sends a -10dB low impedance signal to your effects devices, regardless of if it is a pedal, a rack unit, or an entire chain of effects.
