Clean Gain control is increased clockwise the sound will begin to break-up,

delivering a subtle overdrive.

7. Clean Volume

This controls the volume of the Clean Channel. Turning it clockwise increases

the volume.

The Bright and Warm modes recongure both preamplier and power amplier

circuits to deliver Class A or Class AB style tones.

The table below describes the operation of the two modes:

Mode Preamp Character Power Amp Damping Use For

Bright Clean Tighter bass, chiming mids Low (greater emphasis Ringing clean and

and highs on lows and highs) jangly rhythm

Warm Clean Looser bass, glassy highs Medium (tighter Warm cleans and crunchy

bottom-end for crunch) rhythms

12. Overdrive Gain

The Overdrive Gain control adjusts the amount of the Overdrive Channel’s overdrive

or distortion. Low settings, counter clockwise, will deliver a clean sound on the

edge of break-up. As the Overdrive Gain control is increased clockwise the sound

will become more overdriven, moving through beautiful crunch tones until, at its

maximum position, a full distorted tone is arrived at.

13. Overdrive Volume

This controls the volume of the Overdrive Channel. Turning it clockwise increases

the volume.

Equalisation

14. Bass

The Bass control adjusts the amount of low-end frequencies in your tone. This amp

has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows the tone to be tight and cutting,

counter clockwise, to warm and thumping, clockwise.

15. Middle

The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The middle

frequencies are particularly important in setting the amount of ‘body’ your tone has.

With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully counter clockwise) the sound

will be aggressive and scooped, a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing. As the

Middle control is increased (clockwise) the amount of ‘body’ is increased, which is

more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
