Type Description
DYNA AMP
This is an original amp type that lets you obtain
unprecedented tonal changes according to your
picking dynamics.
Soft picking produces a transparent clean amp
sound, whereas hard picking yields adeeply
distorted high-gain amp sound.
Once the sound is distorted, the tone then
changes according to the force used in picking,
greatly expanding your range of expression.
Setting the [GAIN] knob at the optimal position
provides maximum e ectiveness. Start with the
[GAIN] knob centered. Then adjust the [GAIN]
knob so that soft picking yields a clean tone and
hard picking produces heavy distortion.
