FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

VOLUME: Controls the volume of each channel independantly. Experiment with different combinations of the Drive and

Volume controls to achieve different sounds. Reducing the Drive while increasing the Volume will result in a warm, open,
overdriven sound as the power amp is driven harder, while reducing the Volume and increasing the Drive will give a
tighter, more modern sound with more distortion. Once set, try using your guitar's volume controls to interactively
adjust tone and distortion levels.

STANDBY SWITCH: Disconnects the main HT voltage from the tubes but keeps the tubes warm so that they are ready

to play instantly. Switch for short breaks when you don't want to wait for the tubes to warm up again. With the switch in
the 1 (up) position, the amp is in play mode, while 0 (down) allows the amp to warm up.

STANDBY LAMP: This will illuminate when the amplifier is in play mode.

POWER SWITCH: Main power switch for the unit. Tube amplifiers take between 30 seconds to 2 minutes to warm up

and be ready to play after switching on, this is normal. Use in conjunction with the standby switch to prolong tube life. To
turn on, flip the switch to 1 (up).

POWER LAMP: This will illuminate when the power switch is operated, indicating the presence of mains power within the

amplifier.

ENHANCE: This allows control over the response of the amplifier at lower frequencies. Turning this control clockwise

gives a looser low end, while lower settings provide a tighter response. The optimum setting is dependant on the speaker
cabinet used.

CHANNEL SWITCH: Switches between the Lead and Rhythm channels, the LED lights on the active channel.

PRESENCE: An output stage tone control. This adjusts the high frequency response - it adjusts your sound from being dull

to giving it edge/sounding sparkly.
