Quad X-Amp

2.2 The Channel 1 Control Group

The Channel 1 LED and Volume Control
The Ch 1 LED lights whenever Ch 1 is active. Use the
VOLUME 1 control to set the level of channel 1 relative to
the other channels. The normal setting of each channel
volume is "3". To adjust your volume always use either the
Stereo (or Mono) Master level control at the far right of the
top row of controls. As a rule, you should always set the
master volume higher than the channel volume controls.
LO, MID, and HI Tone Controls
These three tone controls let you adjust the bass, middle and treble tone balance for channel 1.
Like all the controls in this group they affect only this channel. The normal (flat) setting is "5"
for each control. Be careful though, all the tone controls on the Quad X-Amp are quite
powerful; use them sparingly. Unlike amps with passive tone controls, starting out with all the
tone controls at "10" would be a mistake.
2.3 The Channels 2 and 3 Control Group
Channel 2 LED and Volume Control—for CLEAN
The LED next to the VOLUME 2 control lights
whenever Ch 2 is selected. Use the VOLUME 2
control to set the level of channel 2 relative to the
other channels. The normal setting is "3". Adjust
your overall volume using the STEREO OUT control
at the far right of the top row of controls.
Channel 3 LED and Volume Control—for
OVERDRIVE
The LED to the left of the VOLUME 3 control lights whenever channel 3 is the active channel.
Use VOLUME 3 to set the level of channel 3 relative to the other channels. The normal setting
is about "3". If you use the overdrive control set low you will probably need to raise the Ch 3
volume a little higher to make up for the light overdrive level. If you prefer the overdrive set
high then you will need a lower setting of the Ch 3 volume to match the volume of the other
channels. Experiment! Remember though, adjust your overall volume using the STEREO OUT
or MONO OUT control, not at the channel volume.
