’36 Coupe Front P anel 1) Input 1 —This 1⁄4” input jack provides the highest gain through the amp. It is considered to be the “normal” input. 2) Input 2 —This 1⁄4” input jack provides 6dB lower gain through the amp, so it will allow for a cleaner sound.
8) Lead V olume/Pull Bright —The Lead V olume control adjusts the gain at the input of the amplifier when the Lead channel is active. It is used in conjunction with the Lead Master to adjust the amount of distortion and volume for the channel. For cleaner sounds, this control would be set to lower settings and the Master set higher .
’36 Coupe Back 1) Footswitch —The Footswitch jack on the Coupe is a stereo jack that connects the Coupe footswitch to the amplifier . It uses a special circuit to decode the three switches through a simple stereo cable. In an emer - gency , a mono instrument cable can be used to allow footswitching of the channels only .

lower settings and the Master set higher . For slight breakup, the controls would be set in their middle ranges. For heavier distortion, set the Lead V olume higher and the Master lower . Pulling the Pull Bright will increase the high frequencies of the signal, while also reducing low frequencies for a chunkier , tighter attack.
’72 Coupe Back 1) Footswitch Assignment —This button selects which of the amp’ s ef - fects are controlled by the “Effects” button on the footswitch. If the switch is IN, the footswitch will control the Reverb and the T remolo will only be controlled by the Pull Active Switch on the Speed control.

22 ’72 Coupe Hardtop Back 1) Effects Send —This 1⁄4” jack delivers a tube-driven preamp signal to ex- ternal effects devices. It can be used to send the signal to another amplifier to run multiple amps. Connecting a 1⁄4” plug does NOT break the flow of the amplifier signal.
23 9) Impedance Selector —This switch is used to select the appropriate impedance, and is important in achieving the desired results from the Coupe amplifiers.
Coupe Footswitch 1) LEAD —The Lead footswitch selects between Rhythm and Lead Chan- nels on the amplifier , regardless of the setting of the channel selector switch on the front panel. If the LEAD word is backlit, then the Lead chan- nel is active.
