ENGLISH MUFFY GUIDE TO CONTROLS
(
in order of signal flow)
Independent SansAmp Section:
DRIVE A and DRIVE B
Adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive, similar to when the
output section of a tube amp is being pushed. The first half of the rota-
tion will increase the volume as well as the overdrive.
CHAR A and CHAR B
Both Char A and Char B have the same range as each other. They
sweep through an entire range of tonal possibilities associated with
HiWatt-style amplifiers. In addition to modifying the frequency re-
sponse, Character also influences the attack and drive characteristics.
Therefore, you may need to adjust your gain and tone settings after
tweaking the Character control.
Range of Settings:
• Below 12 o’clock yield clean, classic Hi-Watt-style tones.
• Nearing 12 o’clock brings you into crunchier territory associated
with ‘70s Who-style tunes such as Who Are You, Baba O’Riley, andWe Won’t
Get Fooled Again.
• Above 12 o’clock accentuates upper mids for Gilmour/Floyd-style leads.
• Full up may cause your mate or your lead singer to flee the premises,
which could be desirable in certain circumstances.
LOW, MID, HIGH
On-board post-EQ section gives you full control, like having a studio
mixing board at your fingertips. Unlike passive tone controls that only
cut, these active controls cut and boost.
Shifting MID is tuned to +12dB @ 400 Hz. to -12dB @ 750 Hz.
LOW and HIGH emulate ‘70s British console EQ:
LOW is tuned to +22dB boost or -12dB cut @ 120 Hz.
HIGH is tuned +30dB boost or -12dB cut @ 3.2 kHz.
VOL A and VOL B
Adjusts the volume of the SansAmp section.
Independent Muff Section:
SUSTAIN
Adjusts the overall amount of fuzz.
TONE
Based on the original ‘60s stompbox design, this very musical, special-
ized passive filter tilt is centered at 1kHz.
LEVEL
Adjusts the level of the Muff section.
SPEAKER SIMULATION
Speaker simulation is an integral part of the SansAmp circuitry. It is de-
signed for a smooth, even response as would be achieved by a multiply-
miked cabinet, without the peaks, valleys, and notches associated with
single miking. The shape of the speaker curve will not adversely effect
or interfere with the frequency response of your own cabinet. The
speaker simulation works in tandem with the EQ controls to custom
tailor the overall sound.
