PRINCETON CHORUS DSP - FRONT PANEL A. INPUT 1 - A high-impedance plug-in connec tion for guitars or other instruments. B. INPUT 2 - A lower-impedance plug-in connection for guitars or other instruments with active pre-amps. • NOTE: Both inputs have identical impedance when used simultaneously. C. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the amplifier when the Overdrive Mode is not selected ( {I}DRIVE SELECT switch OUT ). • NOTE: The Overdrive Mode must be selected ( {I}DRIVE SELECT switch IN ) for controls {D}GAIN through {J}VOLUME to function. D. GAIN - Adjusts the amount of pre-amp gain (distortion). Use with {J}VOLUME to control the overall amplifier loudness. E. MID BOOST - Activates a special pre-emphasis filter which accentuates mid-range frequencies when this switch is pressed IN. F. LIMITER - Adjusts the amount of compression at high {D}GAIN settings. The compression is activated by distortion in the pre-amp, therefore is not as noticeable at low {D}GAIN settings. G. OVERDRIVE INDICATOR - This LED illuminates when the amplifier is in the Overdrive Mode. H. PRESENCE - Adjusts the the post-distortion ultra-high frequency range. I. DRIVE SELECT - Activates the Overdrive Mode when this switch is pressed IN. NOTE: Both {C}VOLUME and the ChannelSelect FOOTSWITCH are disabled when this switch is pressed IN. J. VOLUME - Adjusts the post-distortion volume. Use with {D}GAIN to control overall amplifier loudness. K. TREBLE - Adjusts the high-frequency range. L. MID - Adjusts the mid-frequency range. M. BASS - Adjusts the low-frequency range. N. DEFEAT - Mutes the REVERB/DELAY type DSP Effects when this switch is pressed IN. This switch must be OUT to enable remote switching from the FOOTSWITCH. O. LEVEL - Adjusts the amount of REVERB/DELAY type DSP Effects to be mixed in with the original dry signal. P. TYPE - This control selects one of sixteen various REVERB/DELAY DSP Effects. The {N}DEFEAT switch must be OUT, the {O}LEVEL control must be above "1," and REVERB/DELAY on the remote FOOTSWITCH (if used) must be active for this DSP Effect to be heard. NOTE: See "DSP STEREO EFFECTS - CONTROLS," page 5. Q. DEFEAT - Mutes the CHORUS/MODULATION type DSP Effects when this switch is pressed IN. This switch must be OUT to enable remote switching from the FOOTSWITCH. R. LEVEL - Adjusts the amount of CHORUS/MODULATION type DSP Effects to be mixed in with the original dry signal. S. TYPE - This control selects one of sixteen various CHORUS/MODULATION DSP Effects. The {Q}DEFEAT switch must be OUT, the {R}LEVEL control must be above "1," and CHORUS/MODULATION on the remote FOOTSWITCH (if used) must be active for this DSP Effect to be heard. NOTE: See "DSP STEREO EFFECTS - CONTROLS," page 5. T. RATE - Adjusts the sweep rate of CHORUS/MODULATION type DSP Effects. A lower number corresponds to a slower rate of sweep. U. DSP PEAK - Flashing of this LED indicates possible clipping (distortion) in either of the DSP Effects circuits. Periodic flashing is normal. If the LED stays on and undesirable distortion is heard, try reducing: {O}LEVEL, {R}LEVEL or the amplifier VOLUME controls. V. POWER INDICATOR - This LED illuminates when the amplifier is ON. W. POWER SWITCH - Press IN the bottom of this switch to turn the amplifier ON. Press IN the top of this switch to turn the amplifier OFF. 6

A.
INPUT 1
- A high-impedance plug-in connec-
tion for guitars or other instruments.
B.
INPUT 2
- A lower-impedance plug-in con-
nection for guitars or other instruments with
active pre-amps.
NOTE:
Both inputs have identical impedance
when used simultaneously.
C.
VOLUME
- Adjusts the overall loudness of the
amplifier when the
Over
drive Mode
is not
selected
(
{I}
DRIVE SELECT
switch OUT ).
NOTE:
The
Over
drive Mode
must be select-
ed (
{I}
DRIVE SELECT
switch IN ) for controls
{D}GAIN
through
{J}VOLUME
to function.
D.
GAIN
- Adjusts the amount of pre-amp gain
(distortion).
Use with
{J}VOLUME
to control
the overall amplifier loudness.
E.
MID BOOST
- Activates a special pre-empha-
sis filter which accentuates mid-range fre-
quencies when this switch is pressed IN.
F.
LIMITER
- Adjusts the amount of compres-
sion at high
{D}GAIN
settings.
The compres-
sion is activated by distortion in the pre-amp,
therefore is not as noticeable at low
{D}GAIN
settings.
G.
OVERDRIVE INDICATOR
- This LED illumi-
nates when the amplifier is in the
Over
drive
Mode
.
H.
PRESENCE
- Adjusts the the post-distortion
ultra-high frequency range.
I.
DRIVE SELECT
- Activates the
Over
drive
Mode
when this switch is pressed IN.
NOTE:
Both
{C}VOLUME
and the Channel-
Select
FOOTSWITCH
are disabled when this
switch is pressed IN.
J.
VOLUME

ume.
Use with

- This control selects one of sixteen var-
ious
REVERB/DELAY
DSP

the
remote
FOOTSWITCH
(if used) must be active for this
DSP Effect to be heard.

TYPE
- This control selects one of sixteen var-
ious CHORUS/MODULATION DSP Effects.
The
{Q}DEFEAT
switch must be OUT, the
{R}LEVEL
control must be above “1,” and

Periodic flashing is nor-
mal.
If the LED stays on and undesirable dis-
