Guitar Input
This is where you plug in your guitar.
Bass EQ Control
Controls the low-end frequencies of the guitar tone. If you increase the bass by turning the knob clockwise, your guitar tone will sound full and boom-y. As you reduce the bass, by turning the knob anti-clockwise, the guitar tone becomes thinner, but also sharper and will cut through the mix.
Middle EQ Control
This knob controls the mid-range frequencies of the guitar tone. As it’s turned clockwise to the right, the mids are boosted in volume. As it’s turned to the left, the mid-range volume is lowered.
Treble EQ Control
This knob controls the amount of high frequencies in your guitar tone. As it’s turned clockwise towards the right, the amount of treble will increase. As it’s turned anti-clockwise to the left, the amount of treble will decrease.
Chorus On/Off Switch
This switch allows you to turn on and turn off the built-in Chorus effect. If the button is pushed in, it will turn on the Chorus. If it’s not pushed in, the Chorus will be turned off.
Chorus Depth Control
This controls the depth of the chorus modulation effect. As the knob is turned clockwise, the depth increases, which results in a very noticeable chorusing effect.
Master Volume Control
This knob controls the output volume from the ampliﬁer.
Headphone Output
This is where you can plug in a pair of headphones. You can use this to play quietly.
Power Indicator Light
This lights up to indicate that the amp is powered on.
