M-80

FRONT

PANEL

FUNCTIONS

(The

diagram

above

corresponds

to

the

M-80

combo

amp.

The

front

panel

functions

are

identical

for

the

M-80

head,

only

the

order

is

reversed.)

A.

INPUT

1—A

high

impedance,

high

sensitivity

plug-in

connection

for

instruments.

B.

INPUT

2

—Plug-in

connection

for

instruments.

This

input

exhibits

a

lower

input

impedance

and

sensitivity

than

INPUT

1

and

is

useful

with

active

preamp

guitars,

and

will

provide

a

darker

tone

with

passive

guitars.

Both

inputs

are

identical

when

used

simultaneously.

C.

VOLUME

—Adjusts

the

overall

loudness

of

the

CLEAN

channel.

D.

TREBLE

—Adjusts

the

amount

of

boost

(accentuation)

or

cut

(attenuation)

in

the

high

frequency

range

of

the

CLEAN

channel.

E.

MID

—Adjusts

the

amount

of

boost

or

cut

in

the

mid

frequency

range

of

the

CLEAN

channel.

F.

BASS

—Adjusts

the

amount

of

boost

or

cut

in

the

low

frequency

range

of

the

CLEAN

channel.

G.

REVERB—Adjusts

the

overall

amount

of

reverberated

signal

mixed

with

the

original

dry

signal

for

both

the

CLEAN

and

OVERDRIVE

channels.

H.

GAIN

—Adjusts

the

amount

of

preamp

amplification

while

in

the

OVERDRIVE

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

OVERDRIVE

-VOLUME

control

to

set

the

overal

l

loudness

at

the

output.

I.

CONTOUR

—Adjusts

the

overall

tone

quality

of

the

OVERDRIVE

channel.

Low

contour

settings

will

provide

emphasis

in

the

midrange

frequencies

whereas

a

higher

setting

will

notch

the

midrange

to

produce

a

"Crunch"

sound,

characteristic

of

most

Heavy

Metal

music.

J.

PRESENCE

—Adjusts

the

amount

of

boost

or

cut

in

the

upper

high

frequency

range

while

in

the

OVERDRIVE

channel.

This

control

occurs

post

preamp

distortion

and

is

useful

in

adjusting

the

distortion

characteristic

from

smooth

to

brash.

K.

SELECT

—Activates

the

OVERDRIVE

channel.

NOTE:

This

switch

disables

the

Channel

Select

Footswitch.
