INPUT: Input jack for guitars. It input sensitivity is

designed to take guitars with even very high

output levels, so feel free to slap this input silly with

powerful signals. Totally bulletproof (in this respect,

that is), it is built to take everything your guitar can

dish out and more.

CLEAN VOLUME: Determines the level of the

CLEAN channel. Even at high settings, the amp’s

output signal will remain virtually free of distortion.

You may want to take pity on your band mates

and hand out earplugs before the next rehearsal.

BASS, MID, TREBLE: The CLEAN channel’s 3-band

EQ. Again, this channel has oodles of headroom,

delivering tremendous clarity and packing the

kind of punch it takes to get heavily processed

signals across load and clear. If you don’t use

many effects, you’ll come up with the best results

if you turn the BASS knob well up and the TREBLE

knob to just to the left of the 12 o’clock position.

Then adjust the MID knob to tune the tone to your

guitar and taste.

YELLOW WARP LED: Illuminates to indicate the

CLEAN channel is active.

CHANNEL SELECT: Switches from the CLEAN

channel to the WARP channel. The WARP channel

is active when the pushbutton is pressed.

RED WARP LED: Illuminates to indicate the WARP

channel is active.

WARP GAIN: Controls the WARP channel’s

saturation level. This knob is your grit selector: Go

from merely dirty but tremendously punchy tone

at lower settings to an evil roar at higher GAIN

settings.

WARP MASTER: Controls the level of the WARP

channel; use it to dial in the desired balance bet-

ween the CLEAN and WARP channels. If you want

to send your band buddies home with bleeding

ears, this is the knob to use. Witticisms aside,

though: The WARP 7™ is a truly loud amp and your

hearing is extremely sensitive. Please use common

sense and exercise restraint with volume levels

BASS, MID, TREBLE: 3-band EQ for the WARP

channel. You’ll find an example setting in section

2.0 above describing the WARP channel.

PRESENCE: Fine-tunes the upper mids (1,100 to

1,800 hertz). This frequency range has a

considerable influence on the overall flavor of

your sound. The amount of “bite” varies

depending on this knob’s setting. With a little

experimentation, this knob will soon help you

discover the sonic secrets of the big boys.

FX-SEND: If you want to employ an effect device,

connect this jack to the signal processor’s input.

(More on this in section 4.2). You can also use this

output to send the signal to another power amp

or a RED BOX

®

for the purposing of patching your

signal into a mixer. (More on this in section 4.3)

FX-RETURN: Connect this jack to the effect

device’s output.
