Front Panel

1. Input
Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.
2. Clean Volume
This controls the volume of the Clean Channel. Turning it clockwise increases the
volume. At higher settings the channel will start to overdrive, particularly with higher
output pickups.
3. Clean Tone
The Tone control allows adjustment of the balance between treble and bass
frequencies within the sound. At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be
warmer and darker in character. As the Tone control is rotated clockwise the sound
will become brighter.
4. Overdrive Indicator
When the RED LED is on the Overdrive Channel is selected. When the LED is off, the
Clean Channel is in operation.
5. Overdrive Select
Press this switch to select the Overdrive Channel.
NOTE: This switch must be 'in' for the footswitch to work.
6. Overdrive Gain
The Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion on the Overdrive
Channel. Low settings, counter clockwise, will deliver a clean sound on the edge of
break-up. As the Gain control is increased clockwise the sound will become more
overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full
distorted lead tone is arrived at.
7. Overdrive Volume
This control adjusts the volume of the Overdrive Channel. Turning it clockwise
increases the volume.
8. Bass
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low-end frequencies in your tone. This amp
has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows the tone to be varied from tight
and cutting when counter clockwise, to warm and thumping when fully clockwise.
9. Middle
The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The middle
frequencies are particularly important in setting the amount of 'body' your tone has.
With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully counter clockwise) the
sound will be aggressive and scooped, a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing.
As the Middle control is increased (clockwise) the amount of 'body' is increased,
which is more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.

10. Treble
The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the sound.
At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be warm and darker in character.
As the Treble control is increased (clockwise) the sound will become brighter. At the
maximum setting the sound will be aggressive and cutting.
11. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
The ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass,
Middle and Treble controls. It allows you to choose
the exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully counter
clockwise has a more American characteristic with a
tight bottom-end and more aggressive middle, and
fully clockwise has a British characteristic which is
more 'woody' and less aggressive.
Unlike conventional 'contour' controls and parametric equalisation systems, the
Bass, Middle and Treble controls remain interactive with each other just like in a
traditional guitar amplifier tone stack. This leads to a very familiar, musical response.
12. Master Volume
The Master Volume sets the overall volume of the Amp. Turning it clockwise
increases the volume.
13. Reverb
The Reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb effect. With the control fully
counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase
the amount of reverb.
