Channel 2, . This knob determines input sensitivity when
the Crunch channel is active; use it to dial in the desired amount of preamp distortion.
The amount of distortion depends on your guitar's pickups. If your guitar sports single-
coils and you want to add some grit to your tone and bite to your riffs, set the knob
somewhere between 10 and 2 o'clock. For higher output pickups such as humbucking
or active jobs, dial in settings between 9 and 1 o'clock. For an even bigger, beefier
crunch tone, try Crunch Gain settings well beyond the 2 o'clock position. Refer to the
leaflet "Sound Setting Samples" for additional practical hints from Victor Smolski
concerning the topic "Crunch Sounds" !

To help you get acquainted with the amp's fundamental sounds, I recommend that
you set all tone controls to the center or 12 o'clock position. For higher-gain Crunch
sounds, your best bet is to turn the respective Treble knob (7) well down to prevent the
pickups and speakers from interacting at hi levels and generating feedback (the
recommended setting is somewhere in the 10 to 1 o'clock range).
Bear in mind that you also have the Presence (14) control knob at your disposal for
shaping the high frequency range.
The Clean and Crunch channels are equipped with dedicated Treble knobs (6 & 7). This
means that you can tweak the top end of each of the two channels separately to suit
your taste and the given sonic scenario. You will find that grittier tones generally
sound better with a touch less treble because preamp saturation makes higher
frequencies figure more prominently in the signal.
Determines the level of Channel 1 (Clean mode). Twist this knob to adjust Channel 1's
volume and dial in the desired balance of levels with Channel 2, 3 and 4. Because this
volume control is located pre effects loop, it also determines the effects send level for
Channel 1. The green LED to the right of the knob lights up to indicate Channel 1 is on.

Extremely high gain and volume levels can produce powerful feedback.
Avoid feedback squeals; they can lead to hearing loss and damage speakers! At higher
volumes, back off the Gain and Treble levels in order to prevent unchecked feedback!
