Front Features

  • Blend

    Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal. The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine control of the blend ratio.

  • Level

    Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.

  • Drive

    Sets the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal.

  • Attack Switch

    Sets the amount of treble content to saturate: The “Boost” setting emphasizes the treble content extra clarity and presence.

    The “Flat” position leaves this register untouched while the “Cut” position will reduce the amount of high frequencies being saturated.

    This new addition helps to keep the treble portion of the signal under control, specially useful when playing with new strings and/or cabinets with tweeters!
