Shape your sound with simple, smart controls
Dialling in your tone couldn’t be easier thanks to the intuitive control layout. You’ve got a 3-band EQ per channel, individual channel volumes and a master volume to balance loudness and gain perfectly. Need a little extra shimmer? Hit the bright switch for a tasteful treble lift without any harshness.
Plus, global Presence and Depth controls let you fine-tune the amp’s feel. Presence adds bite and forwardness to your tone, while Depth brings in low-end punch — from tight and focused to bass-heavy and resonant.
Plays nicely with pedals!
