HI INPUT:
LO INPUT: ‘
.
‘Hi’ stands for high gain. This input is designed for the connection of low output level guitars making it well suited
for guitars with single coiled or low gain humbucker type pickups. Use of high gain pickups in this input may drive the preamp
too hard causing a "mushy" sound. Only use good quality guitar cable.
Lo’ stands for low gain. This input is attenuated down approximately 50% from the Hi input and is designed for
high output level guitars. It is useful in obtaining output that is "tight" not "mushy" from high gain humbucker type pickups
Also use this input for the cleanest full range sound with extended low end response. Only use good quality guitar cable.
BASS: Boosts the very low bass frequencies before any distortion is applied. Use this control to clean up or fatten your
bottom end. The sound can become muddy at very high gain levels, depending upon your choice of guitar.
BRIGHT: Adds brightness and sparkle to the upper frequencies. This control is more effective at lower gain settings.
GAIN: Sets the level of tube preamplifier gain or how dirty your sound is. This control should be used in conjunction with the
Master Volume (4) Setting low levels of gain with high levels of volume will give a clean preamplifier sound with tube output
stage overdrive. Setting a medium gain level and medium Master Volume will give a nice crisp bluesy lead tone, again with the
ability to drive the output stage at higher Volume settings. Setting a high level on the Drive control and a low setting on the
Drive Volume will give you a punchy hard rock lead tone, with the ability to again drive the output tubes at higher Volume
settings. Having set the Drive and Drive Volume controls to your desired sound try backing off your guitar volume and tone
controls for lots of other cool sounds. Good tube amplifiers have the unique ability to produce a wide range of sounds by
using only your guitar controls, playing weight and style.
