Pressing this button ups input sensitivity, thereby increasing the amplification factor
and the amount of distortion in both Main Channel 2's Lead I and Lead II modes. The
LED above this button lights up to indicate is active. This feature can also be

When activated, supercharges the amplification factor, switching from
to and putting both Lead channels into high gear. This doubles the
number of basic sounds in Main Channel 2. The Soft Lead setting suffices for high-
output pickups - even for playing leads - so you can leave off if your guitar is
shred-approved. settings also work for chugging rhythm riffs or as
alternative crunchsounds, so give 'em a try. But by all means, for scorching ultrahigh-
gain lead sounds with truckloads of sustain or for power chords with a monster
bottom-end,gofortheHeavyLeadvariantwith activated.
This knob determines the Lead II channel's input sensitivity and preamp saturation
level.
The two Lead channels' fundamental tones are not worlds apart: boasts a bit
more gainand bottom end than , andworks very well for fat, in-your-face solos
and chunky riffs with a big bottom end with plenty of low-frequency punch. Its
response is not quite as speedy as , and the low-end can turn muddy at high
Gainsettingsincombinationwithhigh-testosteronepickups.
This is the preamp voicing section's passive low-frequency EQ for Main Channel 2's
LeadIandLeadIImodes.
