Channel Two (Dirt)
Selected by: 1) pushing the designated
front panel momentary toggle switch up,
2) foot switch button #2 or a foot switch
preset mode setting, 3) MIDI and CC
commands.
Channel Two is equipped with a gain,
treble, mid, bass and level (volume)
control as well as aggression, bright, fat
and contour switches.
The amount of gain from the channel
can be selected by the relationship be-
tween the gain control and aggression
switch. There are 3 levels of use from
the aggression switch that shifts up the
amount of gain, as well as the satura-
tion and frequency spectrum. The range
of the gain control itself in either of the
3 aggression settings is fully useable
and will then dial in the amount of gain
desired from the aggression setting
selected. The relationship between the
aggression switch and gain control will
provide anything from a lower gain rock
tone to a saturated metal or lead tone
but still remain super articulate and
well defined.
The aggression setting is foot switch-
able for on the fly selection, can be
saved into the foot switch presets and is
MIDI selectable essentially adding more
channels to the amplifier.
The EQ controls on this channel are
very broad and a little adjustment at a
time is suggested when experimenting.
The range is large and the channel has
been voiced to provide a huge frequency
spectrum so as to make sure nothing is
left out, but still remain very tight in the
bottom end and not too harsh at higher
frequencies. The midrange bite is very
much present and the amount of cut
can be easily tailored with use of the EQ
controls and contour switch.
The bright and fat switches accentuate
the EQ settings and give the channel
more voice options. They do as they are
described and really give the channel
the added versatility that it was de-
signed for without compromising the
channels character. These switches are
foot switch preset saveable and can be
toggled via MIDI or CC commands.
The contour switch shifts the upper
frequencies and changes the voice from
that of a darker focused voice to a more
open and bright voice that becomes pro-
jected and is almost 3 dimensional. Be-
cause the EQ will more than likely need
to be set when the switch is toggled, it
was not designed to be saved via foot
switch presets or MIDI/CC selectable as
it is considered to be an extension of the
EQ itself. This switch is a latching type
and not momentary like the others.
Finally, the level (volume) control adds
the flexibility to keep the volume of the
channel set as you require. Because the
level control is added in the circuit
before the effects loop, it also controls
the amount of crunch channel signal
sent to the loop allowing for balanced
signals from the two channels. This
is a very handy feature that allows for
volume boosts of desired channels with-
out having to be limited to the master
volume controls.
