Summary

Front Panel Controls Overview

High Gain Input (1)

Used for most electric guitars, providing 6 dB louder output than the Low Gain input.

Low Gain Input (2)

For instruments with extremely high outputs to prevent overdriving the High Gain input.

Level (3)

Controls the normal channel's volume level, unaffected by SuperSat or Post Gain.

Bright Switch (4)

Provides a preset +6 dB boost to treble frequencies when activated.

Channel Select Switch (5)

Selects between the lead or normal channel, can also be operated by remote footswitch.

Supersat™ (6)

Simulates tube distortion (soft clipping) and requires the lead channel to be activated.

Post Gain (7)

Controls the overall volume level of the lead channel for final adjustment.

Effects Send (8)

Output for supplying signals to external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.

Effects Return (9)

Input for returning signals from external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.

Low, Mid & High EQ (10)

Passive tone controls that regulate the low, mid, and high frequencies respectively.

Presence (Active) (11)

Active tone control (+/-15 dB) varying the extreme high frequency range.

Master Reverb (12)

Controls the overall reverb level of the amplifier.

Power LED (13)

Illuminates when AC power is being supplied to the amplifier.

Ground Switch (14)

Three-position switch to minimize hum; not functional on 220/240 Volt models.
