tion with the Lead Master to adjust the amount of distortion and volume for the channel. For cleaner sounds, this control would be set to lower settings and the Master set higher...for slight breakup, the controls would be set in their middle ranges...for heavier distortion, set the Lead Volume higher and the Master lower. Pulling the Pull Bright will increase the high frequencies of the signal, while also reducing low frequencies for a chunkier, tighter attack.
1 2 3 4 V50 Back Panel 1) Footswitch—The Footswitch jack on the V50 is a stereo jack that connects the V50 footswitch to the amplifier. It uses a special circuit to decode the three switches through a simple stereo cable. In an emergency, a mono instrument cable can be used to allow footswitching of the channels only. In this setup, the LEDs will not be visible, but at least the footswitch will select Rhythm or Lead channels.

It is considered to be the “normal” input. 2) Input 2—This 1⁄4” input jack provides 6dB lower gain through the amp, so it will allow for a cleaner sound. It can also be useful when using pedals in front of the amp, since it provides more headroom through the front end. If a guitar is plugged into both inputs, then they will mix together and will both be 6dB lower in gain.
Pulling the Pull Bright will increase the high frequencies of the signal, while also reducing low frequencies for a chunkier, tighter attack. This function is very useful for fine-tuning the amp’s tone and feel for different guitars. 9) Lead Master—The Lead Master sets the overall volume of the Lead channel and can be used to balance the volumes between it and the Rhythm channel. The interactions between Volume and Master are described in detail in the previous section entitled 4) Lead Volume/Pull Bright.

If the switch is IN, the footswitch will control the Reverb and the Tremolo will only be controlled by the Pull Active Switch on the Speed control.

Footswitch 1 1) Lead—The Lead footswitch selects between Rhythm and Lead Channels on the amplifier, regardless of the setting of the channel selector switch on the front panel. If the LEAD word is backlit, then the Lead channel is active. If the LEAD word is unlit, then the Rhythm channel is active. 2) Boost—The Boost footswitch selects the adjustable volume boost as determined on the back of the Defender amplifier. This gives up to 10dB of “master” volume boost and the tone is optimized for solos.
