GAIN: Like most amplifiers, the GAIN Control in each channel determines it’s sensitivity and overall tonal characteristics. It meters
the amount of Gain (volume) that your guitar signal will produce. In the T-VERB, we paid special attention to the amount and
frequencies of Gain present in each mode, making sure the whole range of available Gain is musically
usable. We also worked diligently with our suppliers to develop pots with tapers useful to players that
require that touch sensitive relationship of input signal level to Gain saturation. An essential ingredient
to a great amps expressive nature. To maximize your expression, spend time learning the different
regions of Gain in each mode and tonal colors they enhance. Almost more - or certainly equal to the
tone controls, the GAIN Control shapes your sound.
TREBLE: As with most guitar amplifiers, the TREBLE Control is the strongest of the three rotary tone controls. Its setting on the
TREM-O-VERB determines the blend and strength of the MIDDLE and BASS Controls. Set high, it is the dominant dominant
control, thus minimizing the amount of MID and BASS that would be possible in the mix.
Set low, the TREBLE becomes the recessive control and a warmer, darker blend is pro-
duced. Dial with care. Subtle tweaking of this control tends to produce the best results.
MIDDLE: The MID Control determines the blend of midrange punch and boldness. It also has a great deal to do with how a sound
feels to play. Setting the Midrange low scoops the attack, making the sound and feel more liquid and resilient. Setting the MID higher
introduces more punch and authority, helping sounds cut through a mix better. Setting the
MIDS very high may make the strings feel a little stiffer and less spongy. Keep this in mind
when dialing up your sounds so that you can retain the best feel on the strings, allowing
you to always play your best.
In the BLUES mode, the MID Control set low produces a sweet smooth clip and really
allows this classic sound to purr. Try the GAIN Control set at around or so and the
MID Control set at around to for a tasty blend of smooth dynamic overdrive. Add Treble to focus the attack and fatten with
the BASS Control. Presence will “Open up” or compress this “beyond vintage” sound that howls with authenticity. This has to be one
of the best sounds in the TREM-O-VERB, and was cast early on in the development as it’s quintessential voice, and this mode will
let you enjoy lunching on elderly vintage amps.
At high Gain settings in either the VINTAGE ORANGE or MODERN RED modes, the MID Control dials in punch and aggression. For
the tightest crunch chording, set the MID Control high, say around - . To make single notes feel juicier and more liquid, reduce
the MID Control to around or so. In the MODERN RED mode, using the MID higher and in conjunction with the PRESENCE
Control also set high, delivers a down right ugly crunch that’s huge and angry - not fit for the meek! This setting also sounds great and
becomes easier to play and more elastic feeling with the GAIN Control set at or higher.
BASS: This control blends in the lower frequencies and its effectiveness, again, depends on the setting of the TREBLE Control. It
should be set with moderation as extreme settings in either low or high directions can produce an unbalanced tone. Be “especially”
especially careful in higher Gain settings of either channel. Too much BASS will
cause a flabby unfocused sound. Try setting the BASS to for clean sounds in
both channels Rhythm modes and or below when dialing up high gain overdriven
sounds in these modes. In the LEAD modes, try setting the BASS somewhere
between and . These settings will vary with the amount of Gain and Treble
you have dialed up.
