PowerSoak
In connection with
REMOTE1
™
, a 2-stage PowerSoak is available
The PowerSoak was invented so that the sound of a fully saturated tube amp could be reduced to tolera-
ble levels. The “lively” sound of a tube power amp set to maximum gain and overdrive is very popular.
Most PowerSoaks use thick power resistors to convert the high power at the speaker output into heat.
With classic PowerSoaks, the sound gets more deadened, the more you decrease the volume.
AMP1
™
’s PowerSoak works in a completely new, very sound neutral way, and without any power resi-
stors. When PowerSoak is activated, the LEVEL control reduces the power amp’s power rating smoothly.
For this, the standard routing has been divided into two ranges, the 100% sound neutral “STAGE”, and
the somewhat milder sounding “HOME”. After the centre position on the LEVEL control is reached, the
PowerSoak switches automatically from “HOME” to “STAGE”.
In order to make the PowerSoak responsive, the power of the power amp at the Master must obviously
be higher than the chosen power reduction of the power amp. That is: crank the Master and reduce it again
with the PowerSoak!

2ND MASTER
In connection with
REMOTE1
™
, a 2nd Master Volume is available. You can activate this via a footswitch,
and control it within a 10dB range. This will let you use all your different sounds at two different volumes.
Classically speaking, that would be rhythm and solo volumes!
For this, you activate the “MasterVolume” button on
REMOTE1
™
, and the knob directly next to the but-
ton will become active. Then, using this knob, you can control the MasterVolume. Pressing the
REMOTE1
™
“MasterVolume” button again will take you back to the first MasterVolume.
REMOTE1
™
can also save all of your settings to one of its nine Presets. This way, you have the possibility
to save any of your sounds’ volumes in Preset Mode.
AMP1
™
’s PowerSoak
works in two ranges:
Home from 150m Watts to 2 Watts
Stage from 7-100 Watts
EASYLOCK
™
For fixing your
AMP1
™
to a pedalboard. The set consists of two magnets, which are screwed on to
the board, and two magnetic counterparts that you screw to your
AMP1
™
. In this way, you can take
AMP1
™
off your pedalboard at any time and easily transport it in your gigbag at those times when
you don’t want to lug around the whole shebang.
