1: Level Control (channel 1–3): Adjust the input level of the sig-
nal(s) with this control. Each channel’s level control governs the
right/mono and left input jacks simultaneously.
2: Pan Control, (channel 1–3): This control proportions the signal
between the left and right outputs. In stereo applications it acts
as a left/right balance control.
3: Rev/Eff Send Control (all channels): Adjust the amount of signal
sent to the internal reverb and external effect (if used) with this
control.
4: Line Out Select Switch (channels 3 and 4): When this switch is
pressed in, the signal is removed from the line out buss. (For
example, if you want a click track or other signal in your amp but
not in the house mix, press in the switch for that signal’s chan-
nel. The signal will still be in your amp, but not in the mix at the
line out jack. You hear it, the house doesn’t!)
5: Instrument Level Control (channel 4): An instrument level signal
can be plugged directly into channel 4’s instrument jack (#16).
Adjust the level of the instrument with this control.
6: Mic Level (channel 4): A low impedance microphone signal can
be plugged into channel 4’s microphone input jack (#17). Adjust
the input level of the microphone signal with this control. The
adjacent peak LED (#7) will light when the signal is too hot.
7: Mic Level Peak LED (channel 4): This LED will light when the
microphone input signal is near clipping. Under normal use, this
LED might flash on peak signals. If the LED stays on, reduce the
mic level control (#6).
8: Low and High EQ: Adjust the low and high frequency levels for
channel 4 with these controls.
9: Pan Control (channel 4): This control proportions the signal
between the left and right outputs.
10: Graphic EQ: Use this eight band stereo graphic equalizer to tai-
lor the output of your amp to best suit your taste and room
acoustics.
11: Effects Return: Adjust the overall amount of external effect (if
used) with this control.
12: Reverb Return: Adjust the overall amount of internal reverb with
this control.
13: Master Level: Adjust the overall output level of the amplifier with
this control.
14: Line Out Level: Adjust the output level of the signal at the line
out jacks (#19) with this control.
