Tone Shaping and Operation:
The amplifier features a unique dual-gain layout on a single channel. Turning up Gain 1 introduces a classic rock crunch. Searing high-gain distortion is achieved by rolling up Gain 2. The Contour knob replaces a traditional midrange control. Turning it down scoops the mids for metal tones. Turning it up boosts the mids for standard classic rock leads.
Usage Context:
The speaker automatically mutes when a headphone jack is plugged in. This feature makes it highly suitable for late-night apartment practice. The line out can be used to send a direct signal to an external recording interface or mixer.
