to

control

the

volume

of

a

distorted

sound

without

changing

the

quality

of

the

dis-

tortion.

EQUALIZATION

AND

HARMONIC

BALANCE

CONTROLS

This

group

of

five

controls

can

produce

wonder-

ful

and

weird

effects

far

beyond

the

capability

of

most

amplifiers.

Each

control

can

be

set

to

boost

or

cut

the

band

of

frequencies

above

and

below

the

indicated

frequency.

The

effects

can

be

cut

in

or

out

with

the

foot

switch.

DISTORTION

CONTROL

anri

OUTPUT

CONTROL

These

two

controls

provide

a

wide

range

of

distortion

effects

and

allow

uniform,

controlled

distortion

at

any

volume

level.

These

effects

can

be

cut

in

or

out

by

means

of

the

two

switches

(marked

"EQL"

and

"DST")

on

the

foot

pedal.

The

controls

will

not

function

unless

the

foot

switches

are

switched

to

their

proper

"working"

positions,

or

unless

the

foot

pedal

is

unplugged

from

the

two

"Pedal"

jacks

(marked

"EQUALIZER"

and

"VOLUME

BOOST

and

DISTORTION")

on

the

rear

panel

of

the

amplifier.

VOLUME

BOOST

When

the

third

switch,

on

the

side

of

the

foot

pedal,

is

switched

in

the

direction

of

the

arrow,

there

will

be

a

volume

boost

whenever

the

"DST"

switch

is

switched

on.

This

effect

remains

even

when

the

amplifier

is

set

to

minimum

distortion

(see

below)

and

is

pro-

ducing

clean

sound.

HOW

TO

CONTROL

DISTORTION

AND

VOLUME

FOR

MINIMUM

DISTORTION

turn

the

Distor-

tion

Control

counter

-clockwise

until

you

feel

a

click.

The

distortion

foot

switch

is

now

non-

functional.

Set

the

Output

Control

to

"10"

and

adjust

the

sound

output

with

the

Volume

Con-

trol.

FOR

MAXIMUM

DISTORTION

set

the

instru-

ment

Volume

on

full.

Set

the

amplifier

Volume

and

Distortion

Controls

to

maximum.

Adjust

the

sound

level

with

the

Output

Control.

The

foot

switch provides

selection

of

high

or

low

dis-

tortion

without

substantially

altering

the

overall

sound

output.

The

distortion

level

may

be

lowered

by

turning

down

the

Volume

andfor

Distortion

Controls

and

turning

up

the

Output

Control.
