to take some of the “honk” out of your
humbucking pickups. Try it on your
high gain settings to get some serious
“metal-ish” chunk.
18) CHANNEL 1 GAIN: This controls
the amount a “drive” in the preamp. Low
settings of the GAIN knob (with higher
the sound big, full and beautiful. You
can also use higher settings of the GAIN
knob to push the channel into overdrive
and get some really raucous rock & roll
crunch tones.
19) CHANNEL 1 ON LED: Tells you
CHANNEL 1 is active.
20) CHANNEL 2 TIGHT/DEEP
SWITCH: This switch is really useful for
tightening up the low end, especially
when pushing the gain. It works by cutting
the deep bass at the beginning of the
preamp. Setting the TIGHT switch up
will result in a clearer, tighter tone. Down
retains a full, big low end that is great for
a really robust, fat rhythm sound.
21) CHANNEL 2 HOT/CLEAN
SWITCH: In the CLEAN setting, the gain
is reduced to make is easy to dial in a
pristine clean to moderate crunch with the
GAIN knob. HOT unleashes the fury for
high gain rock or singing solos.
22) CHANNEL 2 BRIGHT/NORMAL
SWITCH: As expected, the BRIGHT
setting boosts. the high end. Do experi-
ment with different combinations of the
BRIGHT on and TREBLE knob down
compared to the BRIGHT off and the
BRIGHT on and the TREBLE down,
the tone will be a little less midrangy
compared to the BRIGHT off and the
TREBLE turned up.
23) NORMAL/MID CUT SWITCH:
In the NORMAL setting, the midrange
is, well, normal. The MID CUT on opens
a whole new range of tones to further
expand your “tonal palette”. Try using
the MID CUT with your clean sound to
create a pristine, almost acoustic tone
or take some of the “honk” out of your
humbucking pickups. Try it on your
high gain settings to get some serious
“metal-ish” chunk.
24) CHANNEL 2 GAIN: This controls the
amount a “drive” in the preamp. Low set-
tings of the GAIN knob (with higher settings
big, full and beautiful. You can also use
higher settings of the GAIN knob to push
the channel into overdrive to get some really
raucous rock & roll crunch tones.
25) CHANNEL 2 ON LED: Tells you
CHANNEL 2 is active.
26) CHANNEL SELECT: This pushbut-
ton selects CHANNEL 1 or CHANNEL 2.
NOTE: This button is disabled when the
footswitch in plugged in.
27) GUITAR INPUT: Plug your guitar in
here using a high-quality, shielded instru-
ment cable.
28) TWEAKER-40 LOGO: To remind
you of why you are here. You are a “Tone
Tweaker” and, as such, have certain obli-
gations. First you must relentlessly carry
you must never
be fearful of turning knobs. You will never
discover the potential if you don’t. There
are no “correct” settings. What sounds
great to you ARE the correct settings. (We
do try to guide you a bit in the “Finding
all the “Tone” possibilities sitting before
you right now. Use the Tweaker to cre-
ate those sounds, “in your head” that are
yearning to be released to the world.
SPECIAL NOTE:
You may have noticed by now that we
have given the same descriptions for all
the controls on both channels. That is
because both channels are identical. This
gives you a seamless transition when
switching channels. The array of switches
allows you to set the channels to sound
very different or very much alike. Maybe
you want CHANNEL 1 to be really clean
and CHANNEL 2 to have basically the
same tone, only louder for solos? Or, you
could set CHANNEL 1 for a sort of “rock
‘n roll” rhythm and CHANNEL 2 for a
high gain solo sound. You won’t feel like
you are playing through two different
amps.
