PULL THICK
Incorporated into the high equallzalion control is a "PULL THICK" switch which drastically alters the tonality of the entire
equalization system. This pull switch adds significant amounts of upper mid frequencies and has the overall tendency to create a lull
-thick" midrange tonality. The pull thick control when used in conjunction with SATURATION’" will produce today’s "rock’ sound. The
thick effect may be obtained only in the lead channel
NOTE
THE NORMAL CHANNEL IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH USE OF THE AUTO MIX'" FOOTSWITCH. THE PULL THICK
FEATURE IS BYPASSED WHEN THE NORMAL CHANNEL ISSELECTED BY THE AUTOMIX ™ FOOTSWITCH. WHEN THE PULL
SWITCH IS ACTIVATED. THE HIGH FREQUENCIES MAY BECOME LESS PRONOUNCED BECAUSE OF THE FULLNESS
ADDED BY THE BOOSTED MIDDLE FREQUENCIES. IN ADDITION. NORMAL TONE CONTROL ACTION (ESPECIALLY THE
MIDDLE CONTROL) IS LESS PRONOUNCED AND EFFECTIVE.
PRESENCE EO CONTROL (J)
To allow total control, we have included an active type presence circuit allowing true boost and cut capabilities This control is
located POST the regular EQ controlsand is provided tor precisely tailoring the extreme highs The presence control is capable of making
the output signal extremely "mellow" but still "lively'' as well as adding tremendous "bite'' in the boost positions it is recommended that
when utilizing the SATURATION 1 " effect, the final edge or presence of the signal be adjusted with this control. Experience has proven that
extreme boosts of the presence frequencies tend to cancel out some of the mellowness of the amp’s overload characteristics. Again,
experimentation is the key to achieving optimum results.
PHASE SHIFTER (K) (L)
The Classic’s 1 "' phase shifter is an entirely new design and one that we feel is the best available today, either built into an amp or
available as an accessory unit.
The depth control sets the amount or "intensity” of phasing effect desired with clockwise rotation ot the control increasing the
intensity . . .
The range control determines the speed ol the phasing effect from a very slow, barely perceptible rate to an extremely fast rate wmen
is very similar to a rotating speaker Rotating the range control clockwise increases the phasing rate.
The range control also features an integral pull switch which is called ’ pull set”. This unique feature allows the player to slop the
’sweep" of the phase circuit at any point in its travel through the frequency spectrum. Whon the switch is pulled to its "out' position, the
automatic phase sweep is stopped. The phaser may now besetat any frequency point in its sweep by manually rotating the pull set/range
control. You will find a whole new spectrum of effects with this feature, especially when the depth control is operated at its higher settings
The phaser is remotely selectable from the AUTOMIX ™ footswitch.
MASTER REVERB CONTROL (M)
This control determines how much delayed signal (reverb) is blended back into the main output signal. Thiscontrol is conventional i n
operation and should present no difficulty. Please remember that the reverb function may be remotely controlled by use of the
AUTOMIX'" footswitch plugged into the remote switch socket on the rear of the chassis.
OPERATIONAL STATUS LED (Green) (N)
The green LED indicates when the amplifier is operational (green onj or is in the standby mode (green off).
PILOT LED (Red) (O)
The red pilot LED (light emitting diode) indicates when the on/off switch has been placed in its “on" position and power is being
supplied to the amplifier. This LED has a virtually infinite life span and should never need replacing throughout the life of the unit.
HI POWER/STAN DBY/LO POWER SWITCH (P)
The Classic" is equ ipped with a three-position switch which yields full power, one-fourth power and "standby’ in the center position.
Please notice that "loudness' differences are not audible as the power switch is changed from hi to lo unless theam p is operated at or near
full power The gain/sensitivity remains the same for both settings and only total output power is varied with the power switch.
ON/OFF SWITCH (Q)
The on/off switch is a simple, iwo-position switch which should present no operational problems.
