DRIVE
The DRIVE amp type provides a selection of
distortion sounds that simulate the tonal character
or several high-gain tube amplifiers. From mildly
overdriven crunch to heavy distortion suitable for
hard rock, heavy metal, or hardcore styles, this
model offers a wide range of sonic capabilities.
AMP TYPE
Six amplifier types are provided. Types 1 and 2
feature relatively mild distortion that allows
picking nuances to come through naturally. Types
3 and 4 have more pronounced overtones,
resulting in a fat, soft tone. Types 5 and 6 deliver
wild, aggressive distortion with a tight attack. The
even-numbered amp types have greater
presence and range than the odd-numbered
types.
GAIN
Adjusts the input level applied to the preamp
stage. Rotate clockwise to increase the amount of
distortion produced.
MASTER
Adjusts the output level from the preamp stage.
TREBLE/MIDDLE/BASS
These three controls adjusts the amplifier's tonal
response in the high, middle, and low frequency
ranges.
PRESENCE
Can be adjusted to emphasize the high
frequencies and overtones.
OUTPUT
Adjusts the final output level.

LEAD
The LEAD amp type simulates a high-gain tube amp
that is rich in overtones. It is ideally suited to playing
lead guitar lines that will project well in an ensemble,
but it can also be set up for crisp accompaniment
tones as well.
High/Low
Selects the amp output type. The [High] setting
simulates a high-output amp, and allows the
creation of more distorted tones.
GAIN
Adjusts the input level applied to the preamp
stage. Rotate clockwise to increase the amount of
distortion produced.
MASTER
Adjusts the output level from the preamp stage.
TREBLE/MIDDLE/BASS
These three controls adjusts the amplifier's tonal
response in the high, middle, and low frequency
ranges.
PRESENCE
Can be adjusted to emphasize the high
frequencies and overtones.
OUTPUT
Adjusts the final output level.
HINT
Using the GAIN, MASTER, and OUTPUT
Controls
The tonal character of the DRIVE and LEAD amp types can
be adjusted over a wide range via the GAIN, MASTER, and
OUTPUT controls. GAIN adjusts the level of the signal
applied to the preamp stage, affecting the amount of
distortion produced. MASTER adjusts the output level from
the preamp stage that is then fed to power amp stage. The
GAIN and MASTER control settings have a large effect on
the final sound, and the MASTER control may need to be
turned up fairly high in order to drive the power stage
sufficiently for optimum tone. The OUTPUT control adjusts
the final output level from the amp model without affecting
the distortion or tone, and is useful for adjusting the guitar's
volume without changing any other aspects of the sound.
