FRONT PANEL
INPUT: Plug in your guitar here.
CH1 GAIN: This control effectively sets the gain on channel 1
BRIGHT SWITCH: Adds subtle top end to channel 1 (does not affect channel 2 !)
HOT/MILD SWITCH: Switches between a cleaner and crunchier sounds.. Like switching
CH2 GAIN: The overdrive sounds are harmonically rich full and fat.
Turning back the gain to around twelve o’clock and the CH2 MASTER at full and you will get a
more Plexi style sounds with endless sustain, very Gary Moore. With the GAIN around 3 o’clock
and CH2 MASTER around 3 o’clock you will find some great Metal overdrive sounds.
BASS: This controls the low frequency content of your sound. Low levels of bass can be good
at low volumes, to capture naturel tone, sustain and feel of higher volume setting.
MIDDLE: Controls the midrange frequencies in your sound. Run the middle control higher to
help cut through a band mix, or generally fatten and ‘widen’ your sound. Run it lower for a
lighter, less ‘in-your-face’ kind of sound.
TREBLE: Controls the high frequency content of your sound and is also a powerful tone shaper
when it comes to character.
CH2 MASTER: This master volume works only on channel 2. It helps you level the volumes of
Channel 1 and 2 but it also colours your tone. The best tonal results are obtained by setting the
CH2 Master between 12 and 15 o’clock. Tech Talk: Just like the JCM800’s this master is
placed before the phase splitter tube.
PRESENCE: This controls a different part of the high frequency response of your amplifier than
the treble control. It helps you tame or enliven your tone depending on your situation, without
having to change your EQ. Tech-talk: As the presence is in the negative feedback line in the
power section of your amp it works most effectively when the (SVC) Volume is cranked up.
VOLUME 1 (=SVC): All Kool Amps are equipped with our acclaimed “Seamless Volume Control”
system (SVC). It enables the amp to produce 0,1 Watt bedroom volume levels yet retaining
great tone and sustain. The (SVC) Volume control is used to set the overall volume of the amp.
If the (SVC) Volume is turned to maximum the amp becomes a non-master volume amplifier.
Tech-talk: The (SVC) Volume is positioned in the power section of the amp after the phase
splitter tube.
