HIGH GAIN INPUT (1)
Used for most electric guitars. It is 10 dB louder than the Low Gain input.
LOW GAIN INPUT (2)
Provided for instruments that have extremely high outputs, which can result in overdriving (distorting) the
High Gain input. If both inputs are used simultaneously, the output levels are the same (both are High Gain).
NORMAL GAIN (3)
Controls the volume level of the Normal channel and is not affected by the SuperSat® or Post Gain controls.
CHORUS SELECT SWITCH (4)
The “in’* position of this switch activates the Chorus effect. The “out” position defeats the Chorus.
NOTE: The Chorus effect must be activated to be controlled via remote footswitch.
CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH (5)
Allows selection of the Lead or Normal channel. The “in” position of the switch selects the Lead channel
and the “out” position selects Normal.
NOTE: Channel selection may also be accomplished by the remote footswitch. If the remote selection is desired
the channel switch must be in the “in” (Lead) position.
LOW, MID, & HIGH EQ (6)
Passive tone controls that regulate the low, mid and high frequencies, respectively.
S UPERSAT®/PULL GAIN (7)
A transistor simulation of tube distortion (soft clipping). To activate the SuperSat effect. Lead channel must
be activated. Pull Gain switch boosts overall system gain. Pull to activate.
POST GAIN (8)
Controls the overall volume level of the Lead channel. The final level adjustment should be made after the
desired sound has been achieved.
BOTTOM (9)
An active tone control (shelving type ±15 dB) that varies the low frequency boost or cut.
NOTE: This control is not functional on the Normal channel.
BODY (10)
An active tone control (peak/notch, ±15 dB) that varies the mid frequency boost or cut.
NOTE: This control is not functional on the Normal channel.
EDGE (11)
An active tone control (shelving type, ±15 dB) that varies the high frequency boost or cut.
NOTE: This control is not functional on the Normal channel.
REVERB (12)
Controls the overall reverb level.

R ATE CONTROL (13)
Controls the sweep rate (frequency) of the chorus effect.
DEPTH CONTROL (14)
Controls the depth (intensity) of the chorus effect.
POWER LED (15)
Illuminates when AC power is being supplied to the amp.
POWER SWITCH (16)
Depress the switch to the “On” position. The red pilot light (LED) will illuminate indicating power is being
supplied to the unit.
17
LINE CORD (120V PRODUCTS ONLY) (17)
For your safety, we have incorporated a 3-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding facilities. It is not
advisable to remove the ground pin under any circumstances. If it is necessary to use the equipment without
proper grounding facilities, suitable grounding adaptors should be used. Less noise and greatly reduced shock
hazard exists when the unit is operated with the proper grounded receptacles.
PREAMP OUT MIX 2 (18)
The Preamp Output can be used to route the amplified signal to a mixing console, tape recorder, etc. connect
the Preamp Output, using a shielded cable, to an input of the tape recorder, mixer, outboard power amplifier,
etc. This patch does not affect the operation of the amplifier.
NOTE: When only the preamp out mix 2 jack is used, the mixed chorus effect is present at this point. (Com¬
bination of dry and chorused signals) When both preamp out jacks are engaged, only the chorused signal
appears at this point.
STEREO HEADPHONE JACK (19)
Provided for use with any stereo headset. One channel of the headphones will deliver signals processed by
the chorus circuit. The other side will deliver only “dry” (unprocessed) signals. Use of a monaural headset
is not recommended.
PREAMP OUT DRY 1 (20)
The preamp output can be used to route the amplified signal to a mixing console, tape recorder, etc. Connect
the preamp output, using a shielded cable, to an input of the tape recorder, mixer, outboard power amplifier,
etc. This patch does not affect the operation of the amplifier.
NOTE: The dry (unchorused) signal is always present at this point even when both preamp out jacks are
en- gaged. This jack should be used for normal preamp out patching when the chorus effect is not desired.
REMOTE SWITCH (21)
Provided for connection of the optional remote footswitch (#5996). The footswitch is used to select the Lead
or Normal channels and defeat reverb and the chorus effect.

Es una simulation con transistors dc la distorsion dc tubos (rccortc suave dc scnalcs). Para activar el efecto
de SuperSat, tiene que activarse el canal solista. El interruptor “Pull Gain” aumenta la ganancia general del
sistema. Hay que tirarlo para activarlo.
POST GAIN (Control de ganancia posterior del prcamplitlcador) (8)
Controla el volumen general del canal solista. El ajuste final dc nivel debe hacerse dcspucs dc que se haya
obtenido el sonido deseado.

NOTA: Este control no funciona en el canal normal.
REVERB (Reverberacion) (12)
Controla el nivel general de la reverberacion.
RATE CONTROL (Control dc velocidad) (13)
Controla la velocidad de barrido (frccucncia) del efecto de coro.

grabadora. etc. Conecte la salida del preamplificador, utilizando un cable blindado, a una entrada dc la grabadora,
mezclador, amplificador de potencia exterior, etc. Esta enlace no afecta la operacion del amplificador.
NOTA: La senal seca (sin coro) siempre esta presente en este punto incluso cuando sc utilicen ambos en-
chufes hembras de salida del preamplificador. Esta salida debe usarse para envios normalcs del preamplificador
cuando no se desee el efecto de coro.

LINE CORD (120V products only) (Nur bei 120 Volt-Geraten) (17)
Zu Ihrer Sicherheit haben wir das Gerat mit einem dreiadrigen geerdeten Netzkabel versehen. Es ist unter
keinen Umstandcn cmpfehlenswcrt den Erdungskontakt des AnschluBkabels zu losen. Falls es notwendig sein
sollte, das Equipment ohne die vorgesehene Erdung zu betreiben empfiehlt sich die Verwendung eines Groun¬
ding Adaptors. Die geringsten St5rgcriiusche und die hdchste Sicherheit vor elektrischen Schlagen wird jedoch
durch die Bcnutzung dcr vorgesehenen Erdungsmoglichkeiten erreicht.
PREAMP OUT MIX 2 (18)
Dcr Preamp Output schickt ein verstarktes Signal zum Mixer, Tonbandgerat usw. Zur Verbindung des Preamp
Output mit dem Input von Tonband, Mixer odcr extemcn Endstufen usw muB ein abgeschirmtes Kabel verwendet
werden. Diese Verbindung bccintrachtigt die Arbcitsweise des Verstarkers nicht.
NOTE: Wenn nur die Preamp Out Mix 2 Buchse benutzt wird, haben wird en gemischten Chorus-Effekt
(Kombination zwischen trockenem und Chorus Signal). Wenn beide Preamp OutBuchsen benutzt sind, erscheint
an dicscm Punkt nur das Chorus-Signal.
STEREO HEADPHONE JACK (Stereo-Kopfhorer-Anschluss) (19)
Vorgcsehcn fur den Anschluss von Stereo-Kopfhorern. Ein Kanal erhalt das Chorus-Signal, wahrend der andere
Kanal das “trockene” Signal erhalt. Die Verwendung von Mono-Kopfhorern wird nicht empfohlen.
PREAMP OUT DRY 1 (20)
Der Preamp Output schickt ein verstarktes Signal zum Mixer, Tonbandgerat usw. Zur Verbindung des Preamp
Output mit dem Input von Tonband, Mixer Oder externen Endstufen usw. muB ein abgeschirmtes Kabel verwendet
