1.0 CHANNELS

The METROVERB features a newly developed preamp that not
only produces authentic harmonic overdrive but also responds
dynamically to your picking style. Based on semiconductors,
this innovative circuitry simulates the sound-shaping elements
of tube amps and delivers sound quality unparalleled in this
price range. It also provides the dynamics demanding guita-
rists require for musical expression.
CLEAN:
Depending on the preamp control settings, the METROVERB
delivers a variety of contemporary and vintage clean tones.
At higher VOLUME settings, the „SoftClick" circuitry delivers that
slight edge you would expect from a vintage tube amp. If
desired, the CLEAN channel can put out plenty of crunch.
L E A D :
This channel delivers direct, in-your-face classic rock sounds
with a very British feel. The MID control is a very effective
sound-shaping tool; it lets you dial in many different lead
sounds. If you drastically taper off the mids, the METROVERB will
produce the unmistakable sound of modern tube amps - ideal
for tapping and heavy-duty power chord riffing.
R E V E R B :
In the signal chain, the METROVERB reverb section is located
after the FX loop so you can use it for external effects and still
achieve a clean reverb sound. Additionally, the reverb level
automatically adjusts its own level when you switch between
channels, more for clean, less for lead.
2.0 JACKS AND CONTROL FEAT U R E S
FRONT PA N E L :
INPUT: Input sensitivity is broad enough to handle guitars equip-
ped with humbuckers, active pickups, or single coils.
CLEAN VOL: Determines the CLEAN channel's volume.
Depending on the type of pickups in your instrument, the amp
will begin to clip somewhere around the 12 o'clock setting
(SoftClick).
CHANNEL SELECT: This channel selector switch activates
either the CLEAN or LEAD channel. The LEAD channel is active
when the button is pressed.
RED LEAD LED: The red LED illuminates when the LEAD channel
is active.
LEAD GAIN: Controls the amount of distortion in the LEAD
channel.
LEAD MASTER: Determines the LEAD channel volume level in
relation to the CLEAN channel volume level.
EQ SECTION: Common BASS, MID and TREBLE controls for the
both channels. MID and TREBLE controls influence each other,
as is standard in tube amps: if you boost the treble, the mids
are cut and vice versa. This sound-shaping
feature allows you to dial in a wide variety of
subtle tonal variations.
