FRONT PANEL

1) INPUT CH1 (Hi Z 1MΩ)

Connect your guitar to this input using a standard ¼” shielded instrument cable. This input is suitable for instruments that have normal-output

pickups and passive electronics.

2) INPUT CH2 (Low Z -6dB)

This input is padded by 6 dB to compensate for higher output sources, and is suitable for use with guitars that have high-output pickups or

active electronics.

3) NORMAL/BRIGHT

This switch boosts upper-treble frequencies, adding brightness to your sound. This is often used to compensate for the loss of brightness that

occurs when the amp is being used at low volumes.

4) GAIN (CLEAN CHANNEL)

This knob sets the gain level, and is the preamp’s most powerful control. It not only determines the amount of drive or saturation (for getting

clean, crunch or overdriven sounds, or anywhere in between), but also plays an important role in tone shaping.

5) MASTER (CH1)

This control is the master feed from the end of the preamp channel to the tube power stage. It allows you to obtain a wide range of sounds/

colours in relation to the gain setting—for example, very low gain sounds at high volumes or high gain sounds at low volumes.

6) SWITCH CH1/CH2

This channel selector switches between the Clean (CH1) and Drive (CH2) channels. Channel-switching can also be controlled by the “Clean/

Drive” footswitch that can be plugged into the combo’s top panel (19): the channel selector switch is disabled when a footswitch is connected

to the footswitch jack.

7) DRIVE

Controls how much preamp overdrive and saturation is applied in Drive mode (CH2), ranging from crunch to overdrive sounds.
