Creating and Storing your own
Programs
There are two ways you can do this; by “tweaking an existing program” or by “start-
ing from scratch.”
CREATING YOUR OWN PROGRAM
If you want to tweak an existing program, select one that’s close to the sound you
want. Set the MODEL select switches to the amp, cabinet and effects you want to
use, and use value knobs 1–6 to adjust the sound.
For example, you might start with a certain preset that has a crunchy, modern
rhythm sound that you like, but create a complementary lead sound that is louder,
has a bit more gain, and boosted mid-range.
Now here’s how to create your own program from scratch.
NOTE: Before you continue, make sure that the GLOBAL menu OUT SEL setting
is set correctly as described in Basic Connections on
p.13.
1. Select any program (p.16).
HINT: It doesn’t matter which program you select, because we’re starting from
scratch.
2. In the PEDAL, MODULATION, DELAY, REVERB section, press any model
select switch that is lit two times. This will turn off (bypass) all effects other than
the amp model and cabinet.
3. Press the channel select switch to select the channel (A or B) whose sound
you want to adjust. The LED will light green if channel A is selected, or red if
channel B is selected. For this example, let’s make the LED light green to
select channel A.
4. Use the AMP MODEL selector to choose the amp you want.
HINT: For details on amp types, cabinet types, and effect types, refer to “Explana-
tions of the Amp, Cab and Effect Types” (p. 23).
5. Use value knobs 1–6 to adjust the GAIN, VR GAIN, TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS,
and CH VOLUME as desired. CH VOLUME adjusts the volume while preserv-
ing the overall character of the sound, including the distortion of the power
stage. To adjust PRESENCE, press the PRES-NR button and turn value knob
3. To return to adjusting GAIN etc., press the AMP model select button.
HINT: The key to getting the most accurate vintage tube amp distortion is to raise
the VR GAIN.
NOTE: Some settings may cause your output sound to be distorted (i.e., in a way
you don’t intend). If so, lower the CH VOLUME.
