TIMBRE FILTERS: These pre-set Equalizer curves allow the
Dyna–Touch amps to create seven very different voices on
each channel. FLAT—Preamp and Power Amp signal
without further equalization. BRIGHT—Treble boost,
especially effective for brightening the tone of double–coil
pickups. DARK—Treble cut, especially effective for
traditional Jazz tones with the Normal channel. DEEP
Bass boost, especially effective for beefing up the tone of
single–coil pickups. SCOOP—A severe low–mid scoop with
bass boost designed for modern distortion tones.
SQUAWK—A strong mid peak reminiscent of a partially
depressed Wah–Wah pedal; great for distorted solos that
need to cut through the mix. ACOUSTIC—Simulates the
sound of an acoustic–electric guitar with extreme high treble
boost and bass boost; best with the Normal channel. Note:
This much Timbre flexibility requires that you use a little
common sense! It is possible to get “too much of a good
thing,” such as undesirable treble harshness or bass
boominess depending on your particular guitar, playing style
and knob settings.
L. TUNER - Activates the tuner and mutes audio output. Strike
a string and the top row of LEDs indicate the nearest note.
Sharp/flat notes are indicated by two LEDs; for example, A
and B light up to indicate A sharp (B flat). The bottom row
of LEDs indicate fine tuning.
M. EFFECTS LEVEL - Adjusts the level of the active effect.
N. EFFECTS SELECT - Selects the active effect (see next
page).
O. TIME/RATE - Adjusts the interval length / modulation speed
of the active effect (see next page).
