prea p stages are driven. This produces ore and ore
distortion as the setting is increased. The gain controls are
designed to roll off the low frequencies as they are reduced.
This results in a subjectively brighter, less saturated tone at
low gain settings.
Volume
Each channel has its own volu e control, allowing you to
balance the relative volu es of the two channels. Since
channel 1 has lower gain than channel 2, you ight need to
turn channel 1’s volu e up and channel 2’s volu e down to
balance their relative levels, depending of course on their
relative gain settings.
Solo
The solo knob allows you to add so e volu e boost to your
signal for stepping to the front of the ix during a solo.
Setting the solo knob to zero will not affect the volu e level.
Any setting above zero will boost the volu e whenever the
solo footswitch is activated (green solo LED on).
Gain Boost Switch
This three-position toggle switch lets you boost the gain
(distortion) of your sound. In the botto position the gain
boost is disabled. The iddle position ties the gain boost to
the solo footswitch, so that when the solo feature is enabled,
the gain of the Tin Can is boosted. The top position forces
the gain boost to be always active for that channel.
Tip: Try setting the gain low and turning on the boost. This
will give a brighter sound than having the switch off with the
gain turned up, and in channel 1 sounds great for getting
those bluesy “just on the edge of clipping” tones. In channel
2 this will result in a thinner, grittier distortion.
EQ In/Out Switch
The 5-band equalizer ay be engaged or bypassed with this
switch. This allows you to get, for exa ple, a war clean
sound out of channel 1 and a odern scooped etal tone
fro channel 2.
