The front panel contains the main controls of the Mrh159 Guitar Amplier plugin:
1 - Power On/Off Switch: bypass the plugin to compare your processed and unprocessed signal.
2 - Presence: This control operates in the plugin’s power section and adds high frequencies to your sound by altering
the power amplier’s negative feedback. Turning this control clockwise adds more edge and ‘sparkle’ to your sound,
making it crisper and more cutting.
3 - Bass: This adjusts the bottom end, turning it clockwise increases the amount of low frequencies.
4 - Middle: This adjusts the level of those all important mid range frequencies. Turning it clockwise increases he mids
and fattens your sound, giving it more punch. Turning it counterclockwise reduces the mids, producing a more ‘scoo-
ped’ tone.
