Warm Switch – This works with the Golden Ear Chip we told you about
earlier. If you want to introduce some extra tube-style warmth (and just a
touch of grit) into your sound, this is button to push. Once this button is
engaged, your Input Gain determines how much warmth is dialed in. Keep
in mind that increasing the gain level will affect how the compressor
operates. That’s where the Warm Trim Pot comes in.
Warm Trim Pot – Look closely at the front of your amplifier. See that tiny
little hole below and to the left of the Input Gain? Inside that hole is a small
set screw that allows you to adjust the amount of warmth added to your
sound. Turn it to the left and you decrease the warmth level. Turn it to the
right and you increase it.
Some people want lots of grit; other people want just a touch of extra tube
warmth. By adjusting the Input Gain and this set screw, you can get the right
amount of both distortion and compression for your sound. It might take a
minute or two the first time, but it’s well worth the effort.
Engage the Dynamic Boost – As mentioned earlier, this effect is based on
the Fletcher-Munson curve and ensures that the bass is full and the highs are
crisp, even at the lowest volume settings. As volume increases, the effect is
reduced, resulting in very consistent tone regardless of volume level. We
suggest you spend some time experimenting with this Really Neat Feature.
We believe that you’ll think it’s Really Neat, too.
Final Settings – If you haven’t adjusted the Midrange yet, now is the time
to do it. Boosting or cutting the mids may change how much warmth and
grit you dial in, so be prepared to make adjustments there as well.
A FEW TECHNICAL THINGS TO REMEMBER
Clipping = Bad – Keep an eye on the EQ Clip light. If it blinks, either
reduce Input Gain or cut back on one or more EQ ranges. As we said earlier,
Clipping in the preamp section is a Very Bad Thing and is to be avoided at
all times. If you find yourself running out of amplifier headroom, cut a little
in the lower frequencies, which require the most power from your amp.
You’ll know this is happening if you see the Limit light flashing. As long as
the light is just blinking, you’re fine. But, if it’s on more than it’s off, you
might want to back off a bit.
