Simone

Unique to this model:
Channel 1 controls:
Volume, Tone, Volume - Highly interactive 12AX7-powered preamp circuit, much like the controls on Leo's 5E3 and several other earlier tweeds.
Great for Blues or Rock & Roll, and really makes your Tele twang if you unlock the mysterious secrets of the second volume knob....
Includes a Choke switch to temper the preamp's low frequency response, if desired.
Common to all dual-channel models:
Channel 2 controls:
Volume, Bottom - About as simple as it gets, with the Bottom control to trim the low end to perfect balance and make the guitar sit perfectly in the mix without muddying it up. Uses an EF86 pentode for gain and enjoys the pentode's crisp and lively harmonic structure.
Great for British Invasion and 'New Country' guitar sounds--growls nicely when turned up!
Includes a Bright switch to add more chime if desired.
Special shock-mounted socket for the EF86 pentode tube to ensure long life free of the microphonics that commonly plagues this tube.
Common to all models:
Master controls:
Master Volume, Cut, Reverb, Speed, Depth - A post-phase-inverter Master Volume to control overall level with minimal impact on tone and drive (completely transparent when turned all the way up), a Cut control to control the presence and bite, Reverb for some 'space', Speed and Depth to control the swampy bias-mod tremolo.
