INPUT
Input for guitar.
CLEAN CHANNEL
TWANG:
Switches the clean channel from classic British tonal
character to the attack-rich vintage Californian clean sound.
VOLUME:
Regulates the volume and saturation of the CLEAN
channel. Saturated crunch sounds can be generated with higher
volume settings (depending on the guitar's output level).
Equalizer BASS, MID, TREBLE:
infl uence on each other: A high-frequency accentuation causes a mid-
range reduction and vice versa.
CHANNEL SELECT:
switching between CLEAN (amber) and DRIVE (red) channels. This
switching function is executable via foot switch.
DRIVE CHANNEL
BOOST:
Boosts selected frequency ranges in the DRIVE channel. Even
more creamy sounds will be achieved this way. This switching function
is executable via foot switch.
GAIN:
Regulates the degree of overdrive in the DRIVE channel.
Equalizer BASS, MID, TREBLE:
infl uence on each other: A high-frequency accentuation causes a mid-
range reduction and vice versa.
MASTER:
Regulates the volume of the DRIVE channel.
PRESENCE
This knob determines the overtone content for all channels.
REVERB
Regulates the overall intensity of the integrated Accutronics
reverb. The spring reverb is also capable of being activated via foot
switch.

STANDBY
This switch controls the high voltage power supply to the tubes. When
engaged, anode voltage is applied to the tubes' fi laments only so that
the tubes remain warm and ready to rock. When taking a short break
from playing, please use STANDBY rather than ON/OFF so the tubes
remain at operating temperature.
MAINS ON/OFF
This button switches the main power supply on and tubes the
opportunity to warm up for the work ahead.
Back side
REVERB BALANCE
Regulates the ratio of reverberation between the CLEAN and DRIVE
channels.
2ND VOLUME
This feature was integrated in order to allow spontaneous volume
control which can be operated by foot. Especially for soloing, you can
quite elegantly "make yourself heard". The 2ND VOLUME controller
regulates the difference in volume to the MASTER controller of the
DRIVE channel, i.e. it is dependant on its position and increases and/or
reduces the volume to the preset value. Turned to the left, the 2ND
VOLUME corresponds to half the volume of the MASTER, turned to the
right, you get one and a half times the volume. This function can only
be activated with the included footswitch FS -3N!
FX-LOOP
External effects can be looped-in via the effect path. In this connection,
SEND is linked with the input and RETURN is linked with the output
of the effect device. The FX-loop is also capable of being activated via
foot switch.
FX Level
This switch cuts the FX SEND's output level by 10 dB and boosts the
®
spring
FX RETURN's input sensitivity by 10 dB to match the FX loop to the
effect device's input level. Press this button when using processors
designed to handle instrument levels.
