1: INPUT: Use this jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable.
OVERDRIVE CHANNEL: A high gain channel giving you sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive.
2: GAIN 1: Use this control to adjust the amount of light distortion for the Overdrive channel. Gain 1 produces less
intense distortion than Gain 2 (#3) and is active when the Gain Select switch (#5) is in the out position.
3: GAIN 2: Use this control to adjust the amount of heavy distortion for the Overdrive channel. Gain 2 produces
more intense distortion than Gain 1 (#2) and is active when the Gain switch (#5) is depressed.
4: SHAPE: Use this control to “dial in” the tone for the Overdrive channel when Gain 2 is selected. Rotating the
control counterclockwise enhances the mid frequencies, while rotating the control clockwise enhances the low and
high frequencies. This control is only active when Gain 2 is selected.
5: GAIN SELECT: Use this switch to select which Gain control is active for the Overdrive channel. With the switch
in the out position, Gain 1 is selected. When the switch is depressed, Gain 2 is selected. When a footswitch is
connected to the Channel / Gain Select Footswitch jack (#21), this switch is rendered inactive and the Gain Select
function is controlled by the footswitch (see #21).
6: LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level of the Overdrive channel.
7: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level of the Overdrive channel.
8: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Overdrive channel.
9: CHANNEL SELECT: Use this switch to select either channel. With the switch in the out position, the Clean
channel is selected. When the switch is depressed, the Overdrive channel is selected. The adjacent LEDs illumi-
nate to indicate which channel is active. When a footswitch is connected to the Channel / Gain Select Footswitch
jack (#21), this switch is inactive and the Channel Select function is controlled by the footswitch (see #21).
CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel designed to give you crystal clear sounds to medium distortion.
10: VOL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Clean channel.
11: LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level of the Clean channel.
12: MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange frequency level of the Clean channel.
13: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level of the Clean channel.
14: DSP LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the amount of digital effect: in its fully counter clockwise position the
signal will be “dry” (without any effect). As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of effect increases.
15: DSP SELECTOR: Use this control to select one of the 16 built-in digital effects. A listing of the effects is shown
on page 3 of this user’s guide.
16: INSERT: Use this jack to connect an external effects device to the amplifier. Use a stereo 1/4” male Y con-
nector: ring = send, tip = return, sleeve = ground. (Refer to the illustration at the bottom of page 5.)
17. EXTERNAL SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect the amplifier to an external speaker.
This jack is wired in
series with the internal speaker, which remains active even when an external speaker is connected.
