STAGE 112SE FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS

A. INPUT 1 -A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in connection for instruments.
B. INPUT 2-A plug-in connection for instruments. This input exhibits lower input impedance and sensitivity than INPUT
1, and is useful with active pre-amp guitars. This input will provide a darker tone with passive guitars. Both inputs are
identical when used simultaneously.
C. VOLUME - Adjusts overall volume of the NORMAL channel.
D. NORMAL CHANNEL INDICATOR - This L.E..D. is illuminated when operating in the NORMAL channel.
E. TREBLE - Adjusts the amount of high frequency boost or cut in the NORMAL channel.
F. MID - Adjusts the amount of mid frequency boost or cut in the NORMAL channel.
G. MID SHIFT - When this button is depressed, it moves the frequency center of the NORMAL channel MID control up
an octave. The tonal effect is a slight increase in bass response and a slight reduction of upper mids for a cleaner
sound.
H. BASS - Adjusts the amount of low frequency boost or cut in the NORMAL channel.
I. GAIN - Adjusts the amount of distortion in the DRIVE channel. Lower settings provide a gradual compression
distortion, while higher settings provide more sustain. This control works in conjunction with the DRIVE channel
VOLUME control (item 0) to set the overall volume of the DRIVE channel.
J. DRIVE CHANNEL INDICATOR - This L.E.D. is illuminated when operating in the DRIVE channel.
K. CONTOUR - Adjusts the overall tone quality of the DRIVE channel. Low CONTOUR settings will emphasize mid
frequencies. A higher setting will notch the midrange to produce the "crunch" sound characteristic in most heavy
metal music.
