BRIGHT (3-Position)
Whether you are plugging straight in, or using your favorite pedals, Bella’s 3-position
bright switch is designed to accommodate a variety of signal path set-ups.
•
In the down position: the Bright switch is out of the circuit.
•
In the middle position: Bella introduces a modest amount of brightness that brings
out the guitar’s upper frequencies.
•
If you desire an organic chimy tone, set Bella’s Bright switch to the up position.
This position naturally opens up the top-end, allowing all of your guitar’s higher
frequencies to shine through.
NOTE: Setting Bella’s Volume control to 10 , bypasses the Bright switch.
VOLUME
Bella’s volume control adjusts both output and preamp gain levels. At higher settings
this control changes Bella’s breakup characteristics.
•
At settings between 1-6, Bella provides pure clean tones, with a nice round low-
end and plenty of sustain - ideal for a variety of Jazz, R&B and Pop playing styles.
•
At settings between 7-10, Bella retains a tight punchy low-end while adding a bit of
bark to the mids while introducing sparkle to the top-end - great for churning out
some down home Country rhythm playing.
