Suggested Settings
( These settings are general starting points. They
are designed to get you close to the sound you
are looking for. If the control is not shown, then it
doesn't apply to this particular sound. )
Clean Rhythm or Country Guitar - these settings are the basic clean sounds and for general rhythm
guitar, country lead guitar, and funky/chunky rhythm sounds. Usually, country guitar is a brighter, more
trebly edged sound. The bottom end depends on what type of guitar you are using. Reverb and
Chorus depends on taste.
Rhythm guitar is mostly a clean full type of sound. A little less treble than the country sound and a bit
more midrange. Reverb and Chorus, again depends on taste.
Blues Lead or Mellow Crunch - this setting is particularly useful in blues or softer rock songs and It
is good for leads as well as rhythm parts. It is good for power chords in back of leads.You need to
switch to the lead channel to make these settings work. Blues, depending on the guitar you use,
usually adds treble but with more midrange and a "fat" bottom end. This setting does not have as
much gain as full out crunch, adjust the gain control to the amount of distortion you desire. Blues
usually has a reverb trail on the notes. Chorus is sometimes used to create a vibrato style sound.
Adjust to taste.
Alternative/Harder Edged Rock - this setting will deliver more of a cutting tone. Whether used for
rhythm or lead sounds, it will "cut" through the drums and get you heard. If you need more "grunge",
increase the gain control for more distortion. This style of music requires a slightly thinner, harder
edged tone full of midrange. Less reverb is required as it tends to muddy up faster songs but Chorus
give the tone a fatter fuller sound. Adjust to taste.
Heavy Metal/Maximum Crunch - this setting is a good starting point for the "notched out middle"
sounds associated with metal and heavy alternative sounds. Adjust the Treble, Lows, Reverb and
Chorus to taste. Usually, for a rhythm tone, you want to have more lower end and less for leads.
Distortion is an integral part of this style of music and this amp delivers it quite well.
