Input Jack Plug your guitar in here. 2. Gain 1 Providing that Gain 2 Control is kept at zero, turning this up to around half way, i.e. around five can result in some great clean sounds. Turning this up past half way will result in your guitar crunching up, ideal for vintage blues or classic rock. 3. Gain 2 This takes off where Gain 1 finishes. Having both Gains off will result in no sound. Turning Gain 2 will result in a distorted tone straight away. Turning up this control even further will result in high gain sounds, ideal for contemporary styles. Cranking up both Gain 1 and Gain 2 will result in monster distortion. 4. Treble The Treble control will add or take away the higher frequencies in your guitar tone. 5. Contour The Contour control shifts the mid-range frequencies in your guitar tone. By turning the Contour control fully clockwise you will scoop most of the middle frequencies out of your sound, ideal for thrash tones if combined with high gain settings. By turning the control fully anti-clockwise you can get some great fusion type tones. 6. Bass Turning the Bass control will effect the amount of low frequencies or bottom end in your tone. 7. Master Volume Controls the overall volume of the amp. 8. Reverb Control Adding Reverb to your guitar tone will add ambience and size, giving the effect of playing in a large empty room or hall. 9. Headphones Jack Plug your headphones in here. This will disconnect the internal speaker. 10. Line Out Jack The Line Out jack is for use for direct connection to recording equipment or for connection to a P.A. system. 11. CD Input This is an input for connection to a CD player, tape player or other auxiliary device, to allow you to play along. This is a fixed level input, so volume of your backing music should be adjusted on the auxiliary unit itself. 12. Power On LED Indicates the operating status of your combo. Red indicates that the amp is switched on. 13. Power Switch Switches the mains power to the combo.
