CHANNEL 2
Channel 2, always a little dirty, offers a range of Marshall
®
, Mesa/Boogie
®
and
Vox AC30
®
styles.
Weep™
Increases the amount of even harmonics and thickens the sound. It provides a
“singing” quality like that of a Class A tube amp. The effect is particularly responsive
to the attack of individual notes and directly proportional to how hard you pick. For
the most pronounced effect, we recommend setting Drive at least half-way (12
o’clock) and varying your pick attack as you listen to the effect.
Drive
Adjusts the amount of “power amp” distortion. Since Channel 2 is not designed for
clean sounds, this Drive has no unity gain position, and increases from the minimum
point (7 o’clock).
Growl™
This is a powerful and sophisticated mid-range control. It gives you that scooped-out,
heavy sound without making your guitar sound thin --and without any loss of volume.
Increase from the minimum point (7 o’clock).
Level
Adjusts the volume level of Channel 2.
MASTER SECTION EQ
The two technologically coordinated channels enable them to share the Master EQ
section. Specifically voiced for guitar, these
active controls set the tonal balance of
the amp relative to your environment. The Trademark 60 is designed for optimal
sound quality with Low and High at 12 o’clock. If your taste differs or if you are in a
less than optimal environment, you can compensate accordingly.
In addition to Punch in Channel 1 and Growl in Channel 2, Low and High work
together to alter the mid-range content. By boosting Low and High, you get a
“smiling” frequency curve (mid-range cut), while cutting Low and High gives you a
bell-shaped curve (mid-range boost).
Low
Boost or cut ±12dB by turning from the center point (12 o’clock).
High
Boost or cut ±12dB by turning from the center point (12 o’clock).
5
Boost
For solos, you can remotely increase your output level via the Footswitch. This
“clean” boost only changes the volume level, not the tonality or amount of overdrive.
Increase from minimum (0dB) to maximum (9dB). Note: When the Footswitch is not
connected, the Boost function will be on, so remember to adjust its level accordingly.
Also Note: Boost is designed for a temporary volume increase when desired, not to
be left on all the time. If you want more overall volume, turn Boost off and increase
each channel Level as needed.
Reverb
The top-of-the-line, full-length Accutronics™ 6-spring reverb can be remotely activat-
ed via the Footswitch. Increase from the minimum point (7 o’clock). Note: When the
Footswitch is not connected, the Reverb will be on, so remember to adjust its level
accordingly.
Link
Link works in conjunction with the Footswitch to remotely activate Boost and Reverb.
This unique feature connects the two functions. When Link is engaged, Boost and
Reverb
work in tandem. For solos, in particular, this gives you the ability of not only
increasing your volume, but increasing the
size of your sound as well. Depending on
its orientation, Link gives you 3 options:
1. Boost only: Disengage Link. Adjust Boost to desired level.
2. Reverb only: Engage Link. Set Reverb to desired level; set Boost at minimum.
3. Boost and Reverb: Engage Link. Set each at desired amount.
For separate footswitchable Boost and Reverb functions, there’s a 4th option:
Use an outboard reverb unit through the Effect Loop. The Trademark 60’s Footswitch
can then control each separately: Effect Loop for Reverb; Boost/Reverb for Boost.
Remember: if the Footswitch is not connected, Boost and Reverb will both be on.

and remove power cord to change fuse.
Replace with similar type and same
value: 100V and 117V units: use F 3A L • 230V and 240V units: use F 1.6A L
