BASIC SET-UP: Set the controls as per this diagram. Then run through the 3 sounds by using the Channel Select footswitch and the Alternate Channel push key located between the Middle and Treble controls.
TO POWER AMP: This jack provides a hotter signal level and a slightly different E.Q. curve for interfacing with the FX Return stage of any amplifier, or simply to use V-TWIN as a stand alone pre-amp with an existing power amplifier. (We suggest an all tube power amp.
Now that you have a better understanding of the Outputs and set-up procedures, let's listen to a few sample settings...Keep in mind that if you are using the TO GUITAR AMP jack, the setting of the host amp determines much of the overall character of the sound.
