1) GUITAR INPUT: Plug your guitar in
here using a high quality, shielded instru-
ment cable.
2) CHANNEL SELECT: A pushbutton
switch to select CHANNEL 1 or CHAN-
when using the footswitch.
3) CHANNEL 1 LED: ON indicates
CHANNEL 1 is active.
4) CHANNEL 1 TIGHT: Same effect as
CHANNEL 2. The tight (up) position cuts
out the deep bass to better balance the tone
with different guitars. TIGHT will also
help clean up the low end if you are crank-
ing the VOLUME knob up and overdriv-
ing the channel.
5) CHANNEL 1 BRIGHT: Same as
CHANNEL 2. Adds high end sparkle.
Experiment with different combinations
of the TREBLE knob and the BRIGHT
switch.
6) CHANNEL 1 VOLUME: Sets the
overall loudness of CHANNEL 1. Remem-
ber what we said earlier about the interac-
tion between the VOLUME control and
the WATTS knob.
7 & 8) TONE CONTROLS FOR
CHANNEL 1: Once again, the familiar
passive tone control circuits from the clas-
sic amps we all love. This channel can be
very warm and friendly, like a great old
vintage combo, or crystal clear and glassy
for a pristine clean sound. Just turn the
9) CHANNEL 2 TIGHT: This switch
is really useful for tightening up the low
end, especially when using a lot of gain.
It works by cutting the deep bass at the
beginning of the high gain preamp. Set-
ting the TIGHT switch up will result on a
clearer, less muddy distortion.
10) CHANNEL 2 LED: ON indicates
CHANNEL 2 is active.
11) CHANNEL 2 BRIGHT: Just as you
expect, the up (BRIGHT) setting of the
switch boosts the high end. Do experi-
ment with different combinations of the
BRIGHT switch ON and TREBLE down
compared to the TREBLE turned up and
that with the BRIGHT ON and TREBLE
down, the sound will be a little less midr-
angy compared to the BRIGHT OFF and
TREBLE turned up.
12) GAIN CHANNEL 2: The gain con-
trol adjusts the amount of overdrive (dis-
rather slowly to make it easy to zero in on
just the right amount of moderate breakup.
quickly and moves into serious high gain
territory. As always, lower settings of the
gain control will result in a tighter, more
more fun and make an amp easier to play
but can get more compressed and muddy.
13,14 &15) TONE CONTROLS FOR
CHANNEL 2: The Rebel overdrive
channel features the passive tone control
circuit similar in design to the one found
in many classic British amps. The range
and feel of these controls should be famil-
iar to most players and makes it really easy
to dial in great tones with minimal knob
“twiddling”.
16) VOLUME CHANNEL 2: Adjusts the
overall loudness of the overdrive channel.
17) CHANNEL 2 WATTS: Same as
CHANNEL 1 WATTS but only affects
CHANNEL 2. How cool is that? You can
set each channel’s power individually! Try
turning down the power on CHANNEL 1
for a bit of classic breakup when pushed
and set CHANNEL 2 for maximum power
18) CHANNEL 1 WATTS: This knob
lets you adjust the actual power output on
CHANNEL 1 from 30 watts for maximum
headroom all the way down to 1 watt for a
lower volume, squishier feel. This is cool
