CONTROL PANEL FEATURES CONTINUED
5. Depth Control: This 6-position rotary switch selects the output tube's low-frequency roll-off point. Set fully clockwise for the deepest low-
frequency extension. Lower settings (counterclockwise) expose more midrange texture and detail; the lowest settings emphasize more pres-
ence and bite.The three clockwise settings are voiced for single-coil pickups, and the three counterclockwise settings are voiced for humbuck-
ing pickups.
6. Texture Switch: This 3-position rocker switch selects the output's high-frequency roll-off point. The middle position provides maximum
top-end extension and the most harmonically complex texture; the left position provides subtle high-frequency roll-off for a slightly smoother
texture; the right position rolls-off more high frequencies for the smoothest texture.
7. Send Level: A pedal-friendly low-impedance tube-buffered effects send level control. Normal settings are between half and fully clockwise.
8. Return Level: A pedal-friendly high-impedance tube input effects return. Normal settings are between half and fully clockwise.
9. Tone Control: This control adjusts the balance of the high and low frequencies.
10. Volume Control: Turning this knob clockwise increases the preamp drive and overall sound level.
11. Pull Boost: Pull this knob to partially bypass the internal tone shaping/voicing circuitry, which boosts the preamp gain and increases the
midrange emphasis. This feature can also be accessed by the footswitch.
NOTE: THE BOOST FOOTSWITCH WILL ONLY FUNCTION WHEN THE VOLUME KNOB IS IN THE PULLED POSITION.
12. Input: Pedal-friendly tube input, 1 megohm input impedance.

2. 9V DC Out: Plug the included 9V DC power supply cable into this jack to power your 9V DC pedal(s) or pedal board. The light will illuminate
at all times when powered on, unless the internal 9V DC fuse has blown. Maximum current draw = 1,000 mA.
3. Effects Loop Send and Return Jacks: The post-preamp Effects Loop can accommodate a wide range of effects. The send level is depen-

Return levels for best pedal sound and lowest noise.
