1 HI INPUT: 'Hi' stands for high gain. This input is designed for the connection of low output level guitars making it well
suited for guitars with single coiled or low gain humbucker type pickups. Use of high gain pickups in this input may drive the
preamp too hard causing a "mushy" sound. Only use good quality guitar cable.
2 LO INPUT: ' Lo' stands for low gain. This input is attenuated down approximately 50% from the Hi input and is designed for
high output level guitars. It is useful in obtaining output that is "tight" not "mushy" from high gain humbucker type pickups
Only use good quality guitar cable.
DRIVE: Sets the level of tube preamplifier drive or how dirty your sound is. This control should be used in conjunction with
3
the Volume (6) Setting low levels of gain with high levels of volume will give a clean preamplifier sound with tube output stage
overdrive. Setting a medium drive level and medium volume will give a nice crisp bluesy tone, again with the ability to drive
the output stage at higher volume settings. Setting a high level on the Drive control and a low setting on the Volume will give
you a punchy hard rock tone, with the ability to again drive the output tubes at higher Drive volume settings. Having set the
Drive and Drive Volume controls to your desired sound try backing off your guitar volume and tone controls for lots of other
cool sounds. Good tube amplifiers have the unique ability to produce a wide range of sounds by using only your guitar
controls, playing weight and style.
