RedPlate Magica Operations Guide
The Clean Preamp is designed to imitate (and surpass) all of the "classic" guitar amp preamps
by providing a full range clean tone with plenty of clear overtones and absolute control of the
midrange frequencies.
Mids Selector – A three position switch for selecting 3 variations of the midrange center
frequency, the fattest setting is in the center position.
Volume – Typical setting is between 10 and 1 o'clock but experimentation is encouraged,
engages a Bright function when pulled.
Treble Control - Adjusts highs.
Middle Control – Controls the amount of Midrange frequencies, somewhat interactive with
the Bass Control. Pulls to enable "Deep" which scoops some midrange frequencies and
emphasizes Bass (makes your electric sound more like an acoustic).
Bass Control – Sets the amount of low end, somewhat interactive with the Middle Control.
The Lead Preamp Section is a custom variation of a popular British Style preamp with a classic
to aggressive range of gain choices. The combination of Volume1 and Gain1 lets you adjust the
character of the channel at various volume levels for consistency of tone and character in both
small and large venue sizes. The second set of Volume and Gain controls adds another gain stage
for even more "Girth" and endless sustain.
Volume1 – Sets the volume of the LEAD Gain1 channel. Rotate above zero to activate or it
can be switched on or off with the LEAD button on the footswitch.
Gain1 –This control sets the amount of break up character you desire in your tone. Typical
setting is around 12 o'clock for a hint of break up and above 3 o'clock for crunch tones but
experimentation is encouraged.
Volume2 – Sets the volume of the LEAD Gain2 channel.
