INPUTS
1. NORMAL jack
Plugging your guitar into this input will route your signal through the NORMAL
channel. Top jack for high Input, and bottom jack for low input.
2. TOP BOOST
jack Plugging your guitar into this input will route your signal through the TOP BOOST
channel. Top jack for high Input, and bottom jack for low input.
NORMAL
3. VOLUME
control
This determines the sensitivity of the preamp section in the NORMAL channel.
Depending on where this is set, you can either blend in more gain by turning it
clockwise or you can turn it anticlockwise for a cleaner sound. The NORMAL
volume can be used in conjunction with the MASTER volume which will allow you
to get the perfect balance between distortion and overall volume. I.e. if you keep
the NORMAL volume low and the MASTER volume high, you will get a clean
sound at a high volume. Conversely, if you keep the NORMAL volume high and
the MASTER volume low you will get more distortion at a lower overall volume.
NOTE!
Because of the nature of the design of this amplifier, it may take a few minutes
until the circuit becomes stable after the power is turned on. Some noise might
occur during this time but it soon disappears.
TOP BOOST
NOTE!
The tone controls on the TOP BOOST channel are very interactive, eg increasing
the level of the TREBLE control will cut the BASS level. It is best to begin with the
Tone controls at 12 o’clock and experiment to find your perfect tone.
4. VOLUME
control
This determines the sensitivity of the preamp section in the TOP BOOST channel. Depend-
ing on where this is set, you can either blend in more gain by turning it clockwise or you
can set it lower for a cleaner, “chimey” sound. The TOP BOOST Volume can be used in
conjunction with the MASTER volume which will allow you to get the perfect balance
between distortion and overall volume. I.e. If you keep the TOP BOOST volume low and
the MASTER volume high, you will get a clean sound at a high volume. Conversely, if you
keep the TOP BOOST volume high and the MASTER volume low you will get more distor-
tion at a lower overall volume.
NOTE!
Because of the nature of the design of this amplifier, it may take a few minutes
until the circuit becomes stable after the power is turned on. Some noise might
occur during this time but it soon disappears.
5. TREBLE
control
This controls the high frequencies in your sound—from soft and round when
turned down (counterclockwise) to bright and cutting when cranked (clockwise)
and all points in-between.
6. BASS
control
This controls the low frequencies in your sound—from thin and light when turned
