HIGH GAIN INPUT (I)
Uscd for most electric guitars. It is 6
dli louder than the Low Gain input.
LOW GAIN INPUT (2)
Provided for instruments that have
extremely high outputs, which can
result in overdriving (distorting) the
High Gain input. If both inputs arc
used simultaneously, the output
levels are the same (both are Low
Gain).
HIGH GAIN INPUT (1)
Dieser Eingang kann fur die meisten
elektrisehen Gitarren verwendet
werden. Er ist 6 dB empfindlicher
ala der Low Gain Input.
LOW GAIN INPUT (2)
Dieser Eingang ist fur die Instru¬
ment*? vorgesehen,die ein besonders
hohes Ausgangssignal erzeugen.
Foils beide Eingange gleichzeitig
benutzt werden, sind die Aus-
gangssignalc glcich (beide sind
dann Low Gain).
HIGH GAIN INPUT (1)
(Entree Haut Gain)
Cette prise sera utilisee pour la
plupart des guitares Slectriques.
Elle donne un gain superieur de 6
dB k 1’entree Low Gain.
LOW GAIN INPUT (2)
(Entree Faible Gain)
Cotte prise acceptcra les instruments
A haut niveau de sortie qui eau-
seraient une saturation (distorsion)
sur I'cntreo High Gain. Si les deux
entrees sont utilis£essimultanemenl,
les deux niveaux serant alors
Equivalents (faible gain).
HIGH GAIN INPUT (1)
(Entrada de Alta Potencia)
Esta entrada cs usada en su
mayorla para guitarras electricas.
Tienefidecibeles masque laEntrada
de Baja Potencia.
LOW GAIN INPUT (2)
(Entrada de Baja Potencia)
Esta entrada esta provista para
instrumentos que tienen una salida
extremadamente alta, la cual puedc
causar distortion en la entrada de
alta potencia. Si ambas entradas
son usadas simultaneamcntc, cl
volumen de salida es el mismo
(ambes son de baja potencia).
PRE GAIN (3)
Controls the input volume level of
the channel.
PULL BRIGHT (4)
Adds high frequency boost (+8 dB)
to the sound and is activated by
gently pulling out the Pre Gain
knob.
CHANNEL STATUS LED (5)
Illuminates when channel is acti¬
vated.
SATURATION ™ («>
(U.S. Patent #4.439.742)
Is a transistor simulation of tube
distortion (soft clipping). It controls
the amount of distortion that can be
added.
POST GAIN (7)
Controls the overall volume level of
the channel. The final level adjust¬
ment should be made after the
desired sound has been achieved.
PRE GAIN (3)
