Control panel
Volume
Controls the level of the clean channel. At high
settings, it drives the amp to the brink of distortion,
rather like a Fender Twin Reverb. Tasty.
Gain
Controls the overdrive of the distorted channel. All the
way from almost clean to shred-o-rama.
Level
Controls the level of the distorted channel,
letting you trim the relative levels of the two channels
as desired.
Master
Main volume. Affects both channels.
Bass, Middle, Treble
The usual eq controls. Incidentally, the tone
circuits seem to use discrete transistors rather than
valves. And why not?
Presence
A subtle effect that might be mistaken for an
upper-midrange tone control. Any idea what it's actually
supposed to do?
Reverb
Controls the amount of signal sent to the spring reverb.
If you can shed any
light on this weird thing, please write to me at dbNO-SPAM@pixie.co.za (remove the NO-SPAM,
naturally!). I'd be very grateful for anything you might
know, or even any bewildered remarks you might like to
make....
