Pressing this button ups input sensitivity, thereby increasing the amplification factor

and the amount of distortion in both main channel 2's Lead I and Lead II modes. The

LED above this button lights up to indicate is active. This feature can also be

switched via MIDI program change or Custom Z-9 Footswitch.

When activated, supercharges the amplification factor, switching from

to and putting both Lead channels into high gear. This doubles the

number of basic sounds in main channel 2. The Soft Lead setting suffices for high-

output pickups - even for playing leads - so you can choose if your guitar is

shred-approved. settings also work for chugging rhythm riffs or as

alternative crunch sounds, so give 'em a try. But by all means, for scorching ultra high-

gain lead sounds with truckloads of sustain or for power chords with a monster

bottom-end, go for the Heavy Lead variant with (function activated).

This is the preamp voicing section's passive low-frequency EQ for main channel 2's Lead

I and Lead II modes.

This is the preamp voicing section's passive midrange EQ for main channel 2's Lead I

and Lead II modes.

This is the preamp voicing section's passive high-frequency EQ for main channel 2's

Lead I and Lead II modes.

This control defines the Treble response in the poweramp stage for main channel 2's

Lead I and Lead II modes.

To help you get acquainted with the amp's fundamental sounds, I recommend that

you set all tone controls to about the center or 12 o'clock position. For higher-gain,

high-volume lead sounds, your best bet is to turn the Treble and the Presence knob

down to prevent the pickups and speakers from generating feedback (a setting in the

9-to-1 o'clock range is recommended).

Though this passive voicing section's controls range is narrower than that of a

comparable active system, its EQ curve is tweaked specifically for its designated

purpose, and will give you satisfying results. What's more, in combination with the

Presence control feature in the poweramp stage, you have heaps of voicing options

for tailoring basic sounds to taste.

Determines the Lead I channel's level. Use this knob to adjust the Lead I channel's

volume and dial in the desired balance in comparison with the other channels' levels.

Because this knob is located pre effects loop, it also determines the effects send level in
