great for a really robust, fat rhythm sound.
21) RHYTHM HOT/CLEAN SWITCH:
In the CLEAN setting, the gain is reduced
to make is easy to dial in a pristine clean
to moderate crunch with the GAIN knob.
HOT cranks up the gain for high gain rock
or singing solos.
22) RHYTHM BRIGHT/NORMAL
SWITCH: As expected, the BRIGHT
setting boost the high end. Do experi-
ment with different combinations of the
BRIGHT on and TREBLE knob down
compared to the BRIGHT off and the
BRIGHT on and the TREBLE down, the
tone will be a little less midrangy com-
pared to the BRIGHT off and the TREBLE
turned up.
23) RHYTHM MID CUT SWITCH:
In the NORMAL setting, the midrange
is, well, normal. The MID CUT on opens
a whole new range of tones to further
expand your “tonal palette”. Try using
the MID CUT with your clean sound to
create a pristine, almost acoustic tone or
to take some of the “honk” out of your
humbucking pickups. Try it on your
high gain settings to get some serious
“metal-ish” chunk.
24) RHYTHM GAIN: This controls the
amount of “drive” in the preamp. Low
settings of the GAIN knob (with higher
the sound big, full and beautiful. You
can also use higher settings of the GAIN
knob to push the channel into overdrive to
get some really raucous rock & roll crunch
tones.
25) RHYTHM CHANNEL ON LED:
Tells you the Rhythm channel is active.
26) LEAD TIGHT/DEEP SWITCH:
This switch is really effective for tighten-
ing the low end, especially when pushing
the GAIN. It works by cutting the deep
bass at the beginning of the preamp. Set-
ting the TIGHT switch to the tight position
The DEEP setting retains a full, big
low end that is great for a really robust, fat
rhythm sound.
27) LEAD HOT/CLEAN SWITCH: In
the CLEAN setting, the gain is reduced to
make is easy to dial in a great rock and roll
clean to moderate crunch with the GAIN
knob. HOT unleashes the fury for high
gain rock or singing solos.
28) LEAD BRIGHT/NORMAL
SWITCH:
As expected, the BRIGHT set-
ting boosts the high end. Experiment with
different combinations of the BRIGHT
on and TREBLE knob down compared
to the BRIGHT off and the TREBLE up.
TREBLE down, the tone will be a little less
midrangy compared to the BRIGHT off
and the TREBLE turned up. This channel
is inherently a little darker than the rhythm
channel. It is ideal for higher gain rhythms
and singing leads.
29) LEAD MID CUT SWITCH: In the
NORMAL setting, the midrange is well…
normal. The MID CUT on opens a whole
new range of tones to further expand your
“tonal palette”. Try using the MID CUT
with your cleaner sound to create a pris-
tine, almost acoustic tone or to take some
of the “honk” out of your humbucking
pickups. Try it on your high gain settings
to get some serious “metal-ish” chunk.
30) LEAD GAIN: This controls the
amount a “drive” in the preamp. Low
settings of the GAIN knob (with higher
the sound cleaner. You can also use higher
settings of the GAIN knob to push the
channel into overdrive to get some really
raucous rock & roll crunch tones. Unlike
the RHYTHM channel, the LEAD channel
can take to into extreme high gain territory.
31) LEAD CHANNEL ON LED: Tells
you the LEAD CHANNEL is active.
32) CHANNEL SELECT: This push-
button selects the RHYTHM or LEAD
CHANNEL.
NOTE: This button is disabled when the
footswitch in plugged in.
33) GUITAR INPUT: Plug your guitar in
here using a high quality, shielded instru-
ment cable.
