FX LOOP SWITCH
This switch is to manually switch the Effects Loop ON/OFF. To control this via MIDI, the switch needs to
be in the centre or ‘Null’ position. This function is also footswitchable using an optional 2-way latching
footswitch. These are available from the Victory Store.
In the ON position, this switch will override the latching footswitch or MIDI Footcontroller.
PREAMP FOCUS SWITCH
This switch is used to manually switch the Preamp Bass Focus ON/OFF. This function enhances the mid-
range frequencies before the first gain stage. To control this via MIDI, the switch needs to be in the
centre or ‘Null’ position. This function is also footswitchable using the supplied 2-way latching
footswitch. In the ON position, this switch will override the latching footswitch or MIDI Footcontroller.
CLEAN/CRUNCH SWITCH
This switch is used to change the mode of GAIN I between CLEAN and CRUNCH. To control this via MIDI,
the switch needs to be in the centre or ‘Null’ position. This function is also footswitchable using the
supplied 2-way latching footswitch. In the ON position, this switch will override the latching footswitch
or MIDI Footcontroller.
GAIN I
When switched to ‘CLEAN’ this control will progressively add a small amount of gain to the guitar signal
but will allow for a high-headroom clean sounds When switched to CRUNCH the GAIN I adds a classic
British crunch to the sound. Use carefully when you want to introduce more natural valve overdrive to
your tone.
Balancing this control with either Master Volumes is crucial in delivering the tone and feel that works
best for you.
GAIN I/II SWITCH
Switches between the two different Gain ranges. To control this via MIDI, the switch needs to be in the
centre or ‘Null’ position. This function is also footswitchable using the supplied 2-way latching
footswitch. In the ON position, this switch will override the latching footswitch or MIDI Footcontroller.
GAIN II
This control adds more of a modern American high-gain character to the content of your sound and
again should be used in conjunction with both Master controls to achieve the tonal response you desire.
BASS
This controls the low frequency content of your sound. Higher levels of bass can be good at low volumes,
but take care when running the amp louder – you may find you need to reduce the bass control. As with
all the EQ pots, adjust to taste!
