INPUT Jack Connect your guitar here. BRIT COMBO This is modeled on the Vox AC-30TB, the rock amplifier that created the Liverpool sound of the '60s. It can produce a broad range of sounds, from clean to overdrive, with increased distortion and greater power in the low-midrange when the amplifier's gain is boosted. 2. SELECT Switch Switches between the CLEAN and LEAD channels. You can confirm which channel is selected by checking the indicator's color (JC CLEAN: left; LEAD: right). Channels can be switched using optional BOSS FS-5U or FS-6 footswitches. TWEED This is modeled on the vintage Tweed Fender Bassman 4x10 combo. The amplifier's four 10-inch speakers produce a clear upper-midrange with a fat low end, and its unique crunch tones make it a favorite of blues-rock guitarists. 3. TUNER Switch The switch lights in red when the tuner function is on; the switch is unlit when the tuner is off. For more detailed information, refer to p. 8. CLASSIC STACK This is modeled on the sound and response of a Marshall JMP1987. [. . . ] If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors, such as those from the Roland PCS series. 9 Sample Settings Alternative Metal The perfect sound for heavy, sharp riffs. Select the high-gain R-FIER amp, then use the equalizer to boost the low end even more. Used with a humbucking pickup in the rear position, it results in an extreme distortion effect. Plus, you can add a long delay to use this as a lead sound with great sustain. SELECT : LEAD Adding a short delay produces a doubling sound like that from two performers playing the same phrases simultaneously. Space Clean This is a transparent sound using spacial effects.
