Preamp Module
The Preamp module is the heart of the 2120's sound. Basically, the Preamp module is a collection of all the Preamp section's individual
modules and their parameter settings (Compressor, Wah, Tube Distortion and EQ, Solid State Distortion and EQ, and Noise Gate) and works
in a very similar matter. When you change a Preamp default, it automatically changes parameters in all of the above individual preamp
modules to specific settings. This means less work and more play. Here are the parameters specific to the Preamp Module itself:
Default - This is a collective setting of all the individual preamp module parameter
settings that make up the basic tone of your program.
TUBEPan - This allows you to pan the tube section of the preamp either left or right in the
Stereo field.**
DISTPan - This allows you to pan the distortion section of the preamp either left or right in
the Stereo field.**
Mix - This is the Master effect mix of the program.
You can even save your own custom Preamp defaults that you can pull up in any other program without having to re-program all these
individual parameters every time. When saving a custom Preamp default, you are saving the collective parameter settings of all the Preamp
module's individual effects along with the Pan settings.
** The pan settings function differently depending on the Effect Configuration used. If used with a Series or Parallel/Series configuration
(one L/R OUTS indicator is lit at the end of the chain), the pan controls the placement of the tube or distortion section through the left or
right side of the effects used. If used with a Parallel/Split configuration (two L/R OUTS indicators are lit at the end of the chain), anything
panned left goes through the top effect(s) in the configuration and anything panned right goes through the bottom effect(s) of the configura-
tion.
