In position "up" the clean channel is on,
whereas, in

then, the Gain switch will not be active
and, in the amplifier, only potentiometer
Gain 2 will be active.

guitar.
4. Bright
High frequency boost for the clean
channel.
5. Clean Volume
Volume of the clean channel.
HINT: At a
potentiometer, you get a clean sound.
When you
potentiometer, you get sound that is
more saturated until some crunch is
achieved. When you turn the Master
down and boost the Clean, you obtain
more crunch. So you can get crunch on
both channels, which, at the same time,
differ in character and dynamics.

6. Gain 1
the Gain control for the distorted channel.
HINT: With a little value you can obtain
crunch effect or overdrive. By adding
the
gain, distortion is added until reading
high gain. For guitars with Humbucker
pick-ups and high output signal, it is
possible, that turning the knob to the
right, does not cause more distortion. It
only gives more noise of the amplifier.
It is designed that way, because each
with
guitar has a different output signal
level, and the value of gain was set up
that way, that in the case of guitars
with less signal, it is also possible to get
– more distortion.

Second gain control for the distorted
channel which is only available when
the footswitch is used.
This is a duplicate of Gain 1. They both
can be set independently and selected
with the use of a footswitch.
HINT: This potentiometer can be used
to boost distortion, e.g. while soloing.
To achieve such effect, set Gain 2 knob
in such a way that after switching from
Gain 1, the more distortion is heard.
