Guitar amp
The Vandal SE guitar amp offers three different pre-amp modes and two
switchable end stage models. These basic configurations differ according to
the selected preset.
The guitar amp is set up with three channels. These may be set up with the pre
and post gain controllers per channel (Clean, Crunch, and Lead) for the
desired mix ratio. Don't worry about switching things around: The amplifier will
remember the gain settings when channels are changed. These are the gain
presets for the different playing styles within a song.
Voicing: We have provided Vandal SE pre-amps with something that we call
Curve EQ. For example, if you take a simple EQ pedal and shape the signal a
little before the amp, then this may change the sound quite drastically. Curve
EQ does something similar: It's located (in some cases multiply) at strategically
important points between individual amplifier stages and filters the signal,
before it is distorted by the next stage. Move the curve in both directions and
navigate through the spectrum using the "Freq" controller. This will give the
amp a completely different character...
Equalization: The actual sound control (the "tone stack") functions rather
conventionally: Vandal SE offers low, mid & high settings. Everything functions
like the passive sound regulation network in genuine amps, so that the
controllers influence each other to produce numerous variations.
Reverb: Surf and twang simply need on-board spring reverb. We relied on
well-known reverb springs for modeling. Everything sounds natural with
complete authenticity.
