TREBLE adjusts the high frequency response in Channel 1.
GAIN 2 adjusts the signal strength coming out of the second gain stage, and going into the third tube stage. Think of this as a
"saturation" control that will impact pick attack, compression, and feel. Depending on the BRIGHT 2 setting, you can also use
this to shape the high and low frequency response of your Chupacabra.
BRIGHT 2 is a high-frequency boost that can be used to add sparkle and gain to your tone. In the middle position, BRIGHT 2 is
defeated. In the left position, it boosts upper mid and high frequencies, and adds noticeable gain. With the toggle switch in the
right position, it boosts extreme high frequencies, and adds less gain boost than the right position. In conjunction with an active
Bright 2, lower GAIN 2 settings will also trim the bottom end. This high frequency boost / low frequency cut is more prominent
as GAIN 2 is turned down, and can cause some unpleasant sounds with low GAIN 2 settings with this toggle to the right.
GAIN 1 adjusts the signal strength coming out of the first gain stage, and going into the second tube stage. Think of this as a
global "gain" control. Depending on the BRIGHT 1 setting, you can also use this to shape the high and low frequency response
of your Chupacabra.
BRIGHT 1 is a high-frequency boost that can be used to add sparkle and gain to your tone. In the middle position, BRIGHT 1 is
defeated. In the left position, it boosts upper mid and high frequencies, and adds noticeable gain. With the toggle switch in the
right position, it boosts extreme high frequencies, and adds less gain boost than the right position. In conjunction with an active
Bright 1, lower GAIN 1 settings will also trim the bottom end. This high frequency boost / low frequency cut is more prominent
as GAIN 1 is turned down.
FEEL changes voicing and feel for Channel 2. With the switch UP, it is defeated. Switching FEEL DOWN will reduce bottom
end, somewhat reduce saturation, increase midrange, and accentuate pick attack.
INPUT is a ¼" jack for instrument cables. Plug your guitar in here.
CHANNEL selects between Channel 1 (DOWN) and 2 (UP). To use the included footswitch, place toggle in UP position.
