Budda Superdrive Series Guitar Amplifiers
® ™
Thank you for purchasing the finest tube amplifier in the business. We appreciate your support and look
forward to providing you with years of trouble-free service.
Before we get into the features of your amplifier, we would like to note that tube amplifiers require a little bit
of care and maintenance to ensure many years of service. We would like to share the most important tips with
you right here:
When you first turn on your amplifier, remember to leave it on Rest for at least 30 seconds before turning it to
Go. This will give the tubes time to warm up and will extend tube life.
Front Panel Functions: What they do and how to use them
On/Off: Power On and Off switch. Make sure the black Go/Rest switch is set on Rest before you turn the
power to On.
Go/Rest: Standby control. Always remember to leave it on Rest for at least 30 seconds before turning
it to Go when you turn the amp On. Always switch the amplifier to Rest before plugging or unplugging
any devices or cables.
Master: The Master controls the overall Volume of your amplifier. It also has a push/pull feature that
allows you to select between the Rhythm (push) and Drive (pull) channels. The higher the setting, the
louder the output and greater the tube saturation. Note: pulling this control will disable the footswitch
function.
Bass: Use this control to dial your bass frequencies. Adjustments to this control usually depend upon
your pickup configuration; single coils will require more bass and humbuckers less.
Mid: Use this push/pull control to dial in your midrange frequencies. Mids are the most active part of
the EQ circuit. Cutting scoops your tone, sort of like creating a "V" in a graphic equalizer. Boosting them
will add more fundamental guitar frequencies.
Pull "Modern": This radically changes the EQ of your amplifier. Pulling this control will slightly
reduce the mids while raising the bass and treble frequencies. It works best in the Drive mode with the
Mid control at a minimum setting.
