Front Panel Controls - Laney IRT-Studio IronHeart Instructions Manual

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

15W INPUT: Mono jack socket. Connect your guitar here to get full volume output. Use only high quality guitar cable.
<1W INPUT: Mono jack socket. Connecting your guitar here switches the output stage to under 1W. This allows you to drive
the output stage hard at bedroom volume levels. Note: Both sockets should not be used simultaneously.
PRE-BOOST SWITCH: Switches the input boost circuit on or off. The Pre-Boost circuit increases the input signal to the preamp
tubes, just like placing a boost pedal in your signal path. This drives the preamp tubes harder, resulting in more distortion. This
works on all channels.
PRE-BOOST CONTROL: Controls the level of boost applied to the guitar signal.
PRE-BOOST LED: This LED will illuminate when the Pre-Boost controls are activated.
LEAD GAIN: Controls the level of preamp distortion on the Lead chanel. Turning this control clockwise will add more
distortion to your guitar signal, ranging from light overdrive, to full on metal. Use this in conjunction with the Lead Volume
Control (6) to achieve the correct volume and distortion level you require. With the volume control below 6, you will only get
preamp distortion. Turning past 6 will progressively add power amp distortion.
LEAD EQ CONTROLS: These are a traditional set of passive tone controls. Passive controls have the advantage of always
sounding musical at any of their settings, due to their unique interactive nature. This gives the player a more natural set of
tools to shape their ideal sound. Set these midway at (0) as a good starting point.
LEAD EQ PULL SWITCHES: Pulling on each of the EQ control knobs will shift the response of each control as follows:
Bass: Deep - This extends the low-end frequency response, resulting in a fuller, heavier sound for lower notes.
■
Mid: Shift - This lowers the frequency range of the Mid control to give a tighter sound.
■
Treble: Shift - This broadens the Treble control frequency response, to give a rounder sound to higher notes, especially
■
when used with thin sounding pickups.
