The Top Panel:
1: INPUT: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier by means of a shield-
ed instrument cable.
SOLO CHANNEL: A high gain channel giving you sounds from a slight edge to serious
overdrive.
2: GAIN: Use this control to adjust the amount of distortion for the Solo channel.
3: SHAPE: Use this control to adjust the tone of the Solo channel.
4: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Solo channel.
5: SOLO/CLEAN: Use this switch to select the Solo or Clean channel. With the switch in
the out position, the Clean channel is selected. When the switch is depressed, the Solo
channel is selected.
CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel designed to give you crystal clear sounds to
medium distortion.
6: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the clean channel.
7: LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level of the clean channel.
8: MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange frequency level of the clean channel.
9: HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level of the clean channel.
10: DSP LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the level of the selected digital effect. The DSP
effects can be turned on and off by using a footswitch (#17, rear panel).
11: (DSP MODE): Use this control to select one of the 16 built-in digital effects. The
nomenclature around the control is further explained in the chart on page 6.
12: CD INPUT: Use these RCA jacks to connect the output from a CD payer or tape deck
to the amplifier. The signal at these jacks is summed into a mono signal which is sent to
the internal power amp circuit. Use the CD or tape player’s output level control to adjust
the signal for the proper mix with your guitar.
13: HEADPHONES: Use this jack to connect headphones to the amplifier. The internal
speaker is disconnected when headphones are used.
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to your hearing, do not use headphones
for extended periods of time at extremely loud levels.
