INPUT 1- A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in connection for instruments. B. INPUT 2- A 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 while in the CLEAN channel. D. CLEAN MODE INDICATOR- This LED is illuminated when operating in the CLEAN channel. E. TREBLE- Adjusts the amount of boost (accentuation) or cut (attenuation) in the high frequency range of the CLEAN channel. F. MID- Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the mid frequency range of the CLEAN channel. G. BASS- Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the low frequency range of the CLEAN channel. 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 overall loudness at the output. I. OVERDRIVE INDICATOR- This LED is illuminated when operating in the OVERDRIVE channel. J. 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.

than
INPUT
1
and
is
useful
with

Both
inputs
are
identical
when
used
simultaneously.
C.
VOLUME-
Adjusts
the
overall
loudness
while
in
the
CLEAN
channel.
D.
CLEAN
MODE
INDICATOR-
This
LED
is
illuminated
when
operating
in
the
CLEAN
channel.
E.
TREBLE-
Adjusts
the
amount
of
boost
(accentuation)
or
cut
(attenuation)
in
the
high
frequency
range of
the
CLEAN
channel.
F.
MID-
Adjusts
the
amount
of

in
the
mid
frequency
range
of
the
CLEAN
channel.
G.
BASS-
Adjusts
the
amount
of

range of
the
CLEAN

H.
GAIN-
Adjusts
the
amount
of
preamp

while
in
the
OVERDRIVE
channel.
Cleaner
sound
is
achieved
at
lower

settings,
high
gain
settings
will
produce
more
sustain

This
control
works
in
conjunction
with
the
OVERDRIVE

control
to
set
the
overall
loudness
at
the
