FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS

CHANNEL SELECTION
The amplifier has 4 channels - Clean, Crunch, OD-1 & OD-2. Pressing the Clean/Crunch switch (3) selects between the Clean (Green Light) and Crunch (Red Light) channels. Pressing the OD-1/OD-2 switch (5) selects between the OD-1 (Green Light) and OD-2 (Red Light) channels.

MODES
The amplifier operates in two modes - Preset and Manual. To change between these two modes, you must hold the Tap switch (10) down for at least two seconds. When in manual mode the Store switch (12) lights red and the selected channel light (3 or 5) will start to flash.
The amplifier will remember the last mode it was in after power off and revert to it the next time it is powered on.

Preset
