Master Output Level
This large knob controls the Everest ECS-410 output level as
displayed on the VU meter. The Master Output Level is strictly a
volume control and has no effect on saturation and tone.
Output VU Meter
The Output VU meter makes it easy to set an accurate output
level. 0 VU on the meter corresponds to +4dBu.
Tube/Solid-State/Bypass Switch
This three-position switch selects between Tube output, Solid-state
output, or Bypasses the entire section.
Bus Overload LED
This red LED indicates signal clipping anywhere on the internal
TouchPatch bus. This is not the kind of distortion you’re looking
for.
Drive LED
The Drive LED indicates “how much” you are overdriving the high-
voltage output section. When you are just barely overdriving the
stage, this LED will occasionally flicker. When the output stage is
saturating in overdrive, the Drive LED will remain solidly on.
Note: If the Bus Overload LED
is lit, reduce the gain in each
section until the LED turns off.
