AVT100 Front Panel Features
15 Overdrive Tone Controls
Your AVT is equipped with rotary Bass,
Middle, and Treble EQ controls which are
shared between the two Overdrive Channels,
OD1 and OD2. This EQ section boasts a tone
circuit identical to the one used in legendary
Marshall valve amplifiers such as the 100 Watt
‘Plexi’ and the JCM800 2203, making it a
foundation stone for that instantly recognisable
and unsurpassable ‘Marshall Sound.’ As was
the case with the Clean channel’s EQ network,
these controls are interactive and, as a result,
allow endless tonal possibilities.
Note:
Remember that in addition to these
three controls, further tonal adjustment is also
afforded by the Scoop button (13) and also the
Master Presence control which is explained
later (17).
II. The Master Section
These controls adjust the power amp
section of your AVT and determine the overall
Volume and Presence of the amplifier.
16 Master Volume
Once you have set the relative volumes of
your AVT’s channels, this control governs the
overall volume of the amplifier.
17 Master Presence
A feature normally only found on
expensive valve amplifiers, the Presence
control affords you increased high frequency
control by altering the power amplifier’s
feedback. Increasing the Presence control will
emphasise high-end ‘fizz’ in overdriven tones
and top-end ‘sparkle’ in clean sounds.
lII. FX Section
A. Parallel FX Loop
Your AVT boasts a rear-panel mounted
Parallel FX loop for use with external effects
devices. This FX loop is Mono so if using a
stereo effects processor you would need to
connect to the ‘mono’ output on the processor.
18 FX Loop Mix Control
(Clean & Overdrive)
When an effects unit is hooked-up to the
aforementioned FX loop, this control adjusts
the FX Mix for all three channels. Turning it
clockwise increases the amount of effect you
hear - from ‘dry’ (0) to ‘wet’ (10).
Please note that the FX mix on your
external processor should be set to maximum
(i.e. ‘wet’).
B. Internal Digital FX
As mentioned in the introduction of this
manual, the AVT100 features a DFX (Digital
Effects) section which adds digital effects to all
three channels.
The DFX section boasts 16 on-board
effects and three controls - DFX Mix, Adjust
and Program.
We chose these particular effects
algorithms to give you a comprehensive palette
of natural sounding options. When developing
the DFX section, our aim was to enhance the
overall sound of the amplifier and, most
importantly, allow the effects to work with you
instead of masking your all-important tone
underneath layers of artificial sounding digital
signal processing.
The first 10 programs offered are all
Reverbs. Reverberation effects recreate the
natural echo reflections found in physical
environments such as halls and rooms or, in
