PLUGGINGIN

WerecommendstartingtheampwiththeBasson

Setthegainaround8andthenbringthemaster
totaste.Afterpluggingin,you

remarkablywellwiththeguitar’svolumecontrol
evenwiththeamponhighergainsettings.

WhilethePinkTacowasprimarilydesignedasa
highgainamp,thePinktacowillsurpriseand
impressyouwithallthedifferenttonesavailable.
Ifyouwantamoreclassicrocksoundfromthe60s
