Front Panel Functions: What they do and how to use them
SUGGESTED OPERATING SETTINGS:
Hi Gain/Normal Inputs: There are two inputs that access different gain structures from the Twinmaster
™
and Baby Budda Head
™
This particular design circuit is a cascade front end drive circuit, therefore you can
only access one input at a time. The Normal input has slightly diminished gain and has a tone reminiscent
of early American amplifiers. Sweet and smooth, this input is great for power chords, rhythm and slide.
The Hi Gain input is designed for maximum distortion and is reminiscent of a hybrid between two classic
British amplifiers.
Bass & Treble Controls: Single coils or humbuckers, 2x12’s or 4x12’s, you will find the treble
control likes to sit between 12 o’clock and 4 o’clock and the bass control between 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock.
There are no rules when finding your tone!
Volume: This controls the amount of gain for both inputs of the amp. Start by setting this control at
around 12 o’clock. Feel the power section start to work with a lot of headroom and punch behind your
rhythm chords. As you turn the control clockwise you will add gain to your signal for great crunch tones.
Fully clockwise offers great crunch and lead tones. Rolling of the volume of your guitars volume pot off
between 5 and 7 will clean up the signal without muddying up the tone of your amp. The amp is equipped
with capacitors to maximize the clarity and brightness of your signal as you roll off your guitars volume pot.
As you turn up the volume incrementally on your guitar, you can essentially go from rhythm, to crunch,
to lead drive. This works on both inputs of the amplifier and is considered the “purist” form of channel
switching.

Head Amplifiers
Thank you for purchasing the finest tube amplifier in the business. We appreciate your support and look
forward to providing you with years of trouble-free service.
Before we get into the features of your amplifier, we would like to note that tube amplifiers require a little
bit of care and maintenance to ensure many years of service. We would like to share the most important
tips with you right here:
When you first turn on your amplifier, remember to leave it on Rest for at least 30 seconds before turning
it to Go. This will give the tubes time to warm up and will extend tube life.
