Tech 21 SansAmp Character Series Owner's Manual page 4

SPECIALIZED CONTROLS *
MID*
Custom tuned to ±12dB @ 500 Hz.
CHARACTER*
Sweeps through an entire range of tonal
possibilities associated with this style of amp-
lifier. In addition to modifying the frequency
response, the Character control also influences
the attack and drive characteristic of this
particular amplifier style. Therefore, you may
need to adjust your gain and tone settings
after tweaking the Character control.
Settings below 12 o'clock bring you the
Bluesbreaker/JTM45 ® era of British blues--
warm, overdriven tone with the characteristic
bulldog bite.
Nearing 12 o'clock brings you into the Plexi
range with a noticeable throatiness in the mids.
Above 12 o'clock gets you the classic
presence boost of the '70s Metalface.
Full up it goes to 11. That's right, 11.
SPEAKER SIMULATION*
Built in speaker simulation is tuned to match
English Greenback-style speakers.
*Voiced specifically for the British pedal.
Please consult the Owner's Manual for
complete guidance to operation.
