1: INPUT: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier by means of a shielded instrument cable.
RHYTHM/SOLO CHANNEL: A high gain channel giving you sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive.
2: RHYTHM GAIN 1: Use this control to adjust the amount of light distortion for the Rhythm/Solo channel. Gain
1 produces less intense distortion than Gain 2 (#3) and is active when the Rhythm/Solo Gain switch (#5) is in
the out position.
3: SOLO GAIN 2: Use this control to adjust the amount of heavy distortion for the Rhythm/Solo channel. Gain
2 produces more intense distortion than Gain 1 (#2) and is active when the Rhythm/Solo Gain switch (#5) is
depressed.
4: SHAPE: Use this control to “dial in” the tone for the Rhythm/Solo channel when Gain 2 is selected. Rotating
the control counterclockwise enhances the mid frequencies, while rotating the control clockwise enhances the
low and high frequencies.
5: RHYTHM/SOLO SWITCH: Use this switch to select which gain control is active for the Rhythm/Solo chan-
nel. With the switch in the out position, Gain 1 (Rhythm) is selected. When the switch is depressed, Gain 2
(Solo) is selected.
6: LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level of the Rhythm/Solo channel.
7: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level of the Rhythm/Solo channel.
8: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Rhythm/Solo channel.
9: CHANNEL SWITCH: Use this switch to select the desired channel. With the switch in the out position, the
Clean channel is selected. When the switch is depressed, the Rhythm/Solo channel is selected.
CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel designed to give you sounds from crystal clear to medium distortion.
10: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Clean channel.
11: LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level of the Clean channel.
12: MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange frequency level of the Clean channel.
13: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level of the Clean channel.
14: DSP LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the amount of digital effect: in its fully counterclockwise posi-
tion the signal will be “dry” (without any effect). As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of effect
increases.
15: DSP MODE: Use this control to select one of the 16 built-in digital effects. The effects are shown on
page 3.
