CHAMPION 30 FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS A. INPUT 1 - Plug your guitar in here. B. INPUT 2 - A lower impedance and sensitivity input than input 1, useful for guitars with active pickups. When used with passive guitars, it provides a darker tone. Both inputs are identical if used simultaneously. C. NORMAL VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the NORMAL CHANNEL. D. GAIN - adjusts the amount of preamp amplification in the DRIVE CHANNEL. Cleaner sound is achieved at lower gain settings; high gain settings will produce more sustain and distortion. This control works in conjunction with the DRIVE VOLUME control (item F) to set the overall loudness of the DRIVE CHANNEL. E. CH SELECT - Activates the DRIVE CHANNEL. J. BASS - Adjusts the amount of increase or decrease in the low frequency range. K. REVERB - Adjusts the amount of reverb present in both the NORMAL and DRIVE CHANNELS. L. FOOTSWITCH - Plug-in connection for the optional remote footswitch to select between the NORMAL and DRIVE channels. For proper operation of the footswitch, the Gain Select switch should be out. NOTE: Any good quality patch cord will work with the remote footswitch, however, a speaker grade cord is preferable to a coax guitar cord. M. EXTERNAL SPEAKER - This jack provides an output to an external speaker enclosure. The enclosure must have a minimum impedance of 8Ω. Using this jack automatically disables the internal speaker. F. DRIVE VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of N. POWER INDICATOR - When this indicator is the DRIVE CHANNEL. illuminated, the Champion 30 is receiving AC power. G. DRIVE CHANNEL INDICATOR - When this indicator is illuminated, the DRIVE CHANNEL is active. H. TREBLE - Adjusts the amount of increase or decrease in the high frequency range. REAR PANEL POWER SWITCH - This switch turns the AC power ON and OFF. When the switch is OFF, the amplifier is completely shut down. I. MID - Adjusts the overall tone quality without affecting the signal level. High MID settings will provide emphasis in the midrange frequencies whereas a lower setting will notch the midrange. LINE CORD - This amplifier is equipped with a grounding type supply cord to reduce the possibility of shock hazard. Be sure to connect it to a grounded receptacle. DO NOT ALTER THE AC PLUG.
