Features and FunctionsA. Top PanelGAIN: Controls input sensitivity levelTREBLE: +/- 18 dB @ 4 kHzBASS: +/- 18 dB @ 40 HzMID FREQ: 180 Hz to 1 kHzMID: +/- 17 dB of cut or boostMASTER: Controls output levelENGAGE FOOTSWITCH: toggles between on/bypass (blue LED indicates on)AGS FOOTSWITCH: toggles AGS on/off (red LED indicates on)Adaptive Gain Shaping (AGS)-AGS changes the gain structure and EQ interactively with the gain knob position. Thisproduces a "vintage voiced" EQ that adapts as you adjust the gain knob.The lower the gainknob setting, the "flatter" the EQ applied. The higher you set the gain knob, the moresaturated the gain structure becomes, and the more the bass is tightened and the treblesmoothed.-AGS provides a continuously variable boost depending on the position of the gainknob. The higher the gain setting, the more boost you will get.-The AGS circuitry surrounds the midrange controls, enabling you to get a huge varietyof tonal characteristics by simply adjusting the gain and midrange controls. What thisgives you is a flexible control to get a wide range of tonal colors.-With the Gain knob set from 7 o'clock to 11 o'clock, AGS gives up to 12dB of cleanboost with warm, glassy, vintage EQ.-With the Gain knob set from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock, AGS gives up to 15dB boost, with alittle vintage growl as the EQ tightens up the bass.-With the Gain set from 1 o'clock to maximum, AGS gives up to 16dB boost full ofwarm, vintage saturation.
