Master Section - RedPlate ShredPlate Operation Manual

RedPlate ShredPlate Operations Guide
The HI GAIN Preamp Section is another variation of the popular European Style preamp with
even higher gain and sustain. Like the LO GAIN channel it has the same features:
1. The combination of Volume and Gain 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.
2. The BYPASS feature of the Bass control bypasses the tone controls for even more "Girth".
Volume – Pulls for channel selection and sets the overall volume of the HI GAIN channel.
Gain –This control sets the amount of break up character you desire in your tone. Typical
setting is around noon but experimentation is encouraged.
Treble Control – Adjusts the balance of high and low frequencies.
Middle Control – Controls the amount of Midrange frequencies, somewhat interactive with
the Bass Control.
Bass Control – Sets the amount of low end. Can be rotated to zero where it clicks off for a full
tone stack lift (Tone Controls are Bypassed).
Presence Control – The presence circuit uses global negative feedback to remove low
frequencies which frees up bandwidth for more midrange and highs. The effect of this control is
altered by the setting of the rear panel DEPTH control (See the REAR PANEL section for details).
The control clicks off when rotated to zero for no presence.
Master Volume – This is an active control and actually adds gain at the higher settings. The
cleanest tones are achieved at settings below 2 o'clock. There is a second Master on the rear
panel (See the REAR PANEL section for details).
