6) THE CROSS The Cross offers
these functions: (1) Bright:This
enhances high-end response and
tightens the low end. (2) Gain:
This boosts preamp gain. (3) Tight
Stage: Adds an extra 12AX7 stage
that provides a chunky, vintage-
style gain like a classic amp when
fully cranked. (4) Thick Stage:
Adds an additional 12AX7 stage
that generates rich, aggressive
tonal qualities with complex har-
monics. Each switch may be ac-
tivated by sliding it towards the
center of the Cross. (For more in-
formation, see the “Cross” section
of this manual.)
7) VOLUME The Volume control
sets the overall level of the Lead
I channel and can be used to bal-
ance the volume between it and
the other channels.
8) GAIN The Gain control adjusts
the gain at the input of the am-
plifier and is used in conjunction
with the Volume control to adjust
the amount of distortion and vol-
ume for this channel. For cleaner
sounds, the Gain control should be
set in its lower range and the Vol-
ume set higher. To increase distor-
tion, set the Gain higher and the
Volume lower.
