3) AUXILIARY GUITAR INPUT: Use this input for a second guitar or other instrument.
This is a parallel input to the Main Guitar Input so they will both play through the "on"
channel.
If you use the Auxiliary Input for a second instrument, the output volume from both
instruments will be reduced. You will have to increase the Master Volume control to
compensate. Also, the instrument that is plugged into the Auxiliary Input will have less
volume than the instrument plugged into the Main Input. If you need both instruments
playing at their loudest volume, you can plug them into a "Y" cord and run them both
through the Main Guitar Input.
If you want to use one guitar playing through two amps, plug your guitar into the Main
Guitar Input and run a normal guitar cable from the Convertible's Auxiliary Guitar Input to
the main input on your second amp.
4) OVERDRIVE: This control dictates the amount of preamp distortion and influences
the volume you want to add to your signal. The lowest setting gives the cleanest signal
and lowest volume. The highest setting gives the most distortion and highest volume.
Technically it controls the gain level applied from Stage 2 to Stage 3 of the preamp,
Although the intensity of overdrive varies with the modules YOU use, the relative effect
is the same: clockwise increases distortion: counterclockwise decreases distortion.
Like all of the preamp controls on this amp, each channel is independent. You can have
a clean setting on one channel and a distorted setting on the other channel.
5) MASTER VOLUME: This control sends the signal volume from the preamp to the
power amplifier. For the cleanest signal, turn the Master Volume up high and keep the
Overdrive low (but not off). For the dirtiest signal turn the Master Volume down (but not
off) and the Overdrive up high.
6) CHANNEL 1 INDICATOR (Red): When your amp is in Channel 1 and the power is
on, this L.E.D. will glow. It's indicating that only the controls on this row will affect your
sound.
7) CHANNEL 2 INDICATOR (Green): When your amp is in Channel 2 and the power is
on, this L.E.D. will glow. It's indicating that only the controls on this row will affect your
sound.
Your Convertible amp uses L.E.D.'s instead of bulbs because L.E.D.'s will last up to 10
times longer than regular bulbs. Under normal usage, your L.E.D.'s should last 10 years.
8) TONE CONTROLS: The two sets of tone controls allow you to get the tone coloration
you want from each channel without affecting the tone of the other channel. The three
tone controls - treble, mid, bass - are a standard interdependent circuit. As you increase
the mid control, the treble and bass will yield less range.
Experiment with these controls to find where they work best with your guitar and the
room you're playing in.
Note: If you turn all tone controls "Off" (farthest to the left), no sound will come out of
your amp.
