Front Panel

Volume 1

Adjusts the overall output volume. Experiment with the Gain control to achieve the desired balance.

Set to the minimum position before switching the unit ON. The LED will illuminate when the channel is engaged.

When using the Phones output, keep the Volume control low to avoid overloading headphones or the input of your mixer/recording console.

Volume 2

Adjusts the overall output volume. Experiment with the Gain control to achieve the desired balance.

Set to the minimum position before switching the unit ON. The LED will illuminate when the channel is engaged.

When using the Phones output, keep the Volume control low to avoid overloading headphones or the input of your mixer/recording console.

Shape

Adjusts the tonal response.

Turning clockwise reduces mids and produces brighter tones. Turning fully clockwise ‘scoops’ the mids entirely.

Turning anticlockwise increases the mids and smooths the treble.

Gain

Adjusts the gain level. A variety of tones can be achieved, from clean (low setting) to heavy distortion (higher settings) and everywhere in between.

Note: With the Gain set to minimum, no sound will be heard.
