    The Controls BASS & TREBLE Bass/treble controls. Add bass for more punch or roll off a bit for a tighter sound on big cabinets. Add treble to cut through a dense mix or reduce to aim for a softer tone. Gain Controls the amount of gain. Lower settings give tight distortion for rhythm parts. Higher settings are ideal for singing leads. LEVEL Sets the overall level.

Unmount the old battery and attach the new battery to the battery clip making sure the polarity is correct. Then remount the back-plate.
