Note1:
Output A is designed to sound slightly different
than
Output B. OUTA is a little
more transparent and truer
sounding
.
Output B is deeper and thicker sounding. The musician can experiment with both outputs while the instrument is plugged
into INA. (This also gives a nicer stereo sound spread when used in stereo).
Note

:
Fast Speed
and Slow Speed knobs are set at factory so 12 o’clock is the actual speed of a Leslie (knobs are offset)
