SETUP OPTIONS FOR ™
Standard Mode *
For the straightforward, 2-channel player who doesn’t want to spend their playing time tap
dancing over a pedalboard! Simply select one of the OVERDRIVE channels and switch between
CLEAN and OVERDRIVE, spicing things up with the additional BOOST and REVERB when
necessary.
Preset Mode *
For the classic Clean/Crunch/Lead player. Select a channel and combine it with BOOST and
REVERB settings as you like, storing these three distinct sounds for direct access using the
’s footswitches.
Preset Mode * + external footswitch
A smart way for a versatile full 4-channel setup is to combine three presets - using the three OVERDRIVE
channels via ’s footswitches - with an external standard double footswitch to access CLEAN
and BOOST.
*press and hold REVERB when powering up to switch between Standard Mode
and Preset Mode

BOUTIQUE TUNING - INDIVIDUAL GAIN STRUCTURE
The Gain Structure and tonal colour of an amp defines sonic qualities that should match your personal
choice of pickup, pedals and your personal taste. To have a perfect match you should decide if your amp is
hot and bright, or warmer and woodier.
Traditionally, this kind of modification would be done by changing parts inside an amp with a soldering iron.
Now, you can tune your own amp using BluGuitar ´s integrated INDIVIDUAL GAIN feature.
Simply recall the factory Lo-Gain settings: press and hold BOOST when powering up to do this.

Use BluGuitar ´s to set Gain for each Channel and store to your
