where distortion does not occur, and use VOLUME to adjust the volume to a
moderate level.
4) Now try out some settings to intentionally produce distortion. Raise the GAIN
control to somewhere between 3 o'clock and 5
o'clock, and reduce the VOLUME control setting.
The preamp clipper will produce a hard-limited dis-
tortion sound. By raising the VOLUME control and
EQ controls, you can also make the power amp
distort.

5) Try using the EQUALIZER. Try the
settings shown in the illustration. When
you vary the tone, you'll also need to
adjust the VOLUME control as well.
* Turning down the BASS CONTROL
will keep the sound easier to play and
more listenable.

3. Parametric MID EQ control
This EQ control lets you use the inner knob (A) to sweep
the controlled frequency from the low-mid through the high-
mid range (300 Hz--2 kHz). The outer knob (B) controls the
level. When knob B is in the detented middle position, oper-
ating knob A will not produce any change in the sound.
Fig. 16
If you turn knob A with knob B left in the position shown in
the illustration, you will easily hear the change in the cutoff
frequency.
Another easy way to hear the change in cutoff frequency is
to leave knob B lowered, and turn knob A to change the
location of the cut.
