TRIAMP MK II - MANUAL

2.2 OVERVIEW OF CONTROL FEATURES

FRONT
INPUT: Input jack for guitars.
PREAMP SECTION:
The three preamps' controls are largely compar-
able. The functions of their knobs are explained in
the following using AMP 1 as an example.
CHANNEL BUTTON: Push these to select the desired
fundamental sound (channel A or B) directly. The
buttons also serve as indicator LEDs, illuminating
to call attention to the active channel.
GAIN A, GAIN B: Twist these to dial in the desired
amount of distortion for channels A and B.
EQ SECTION: Common BASS, MID and TREBLE pots
for CHANNEL A and CHANNEL B.
TIGHT: Cuts muddy low end
frequencies that may occur when
clean sounds are rendered by
a 4x 12" cabinet. This frequency
"correction" feature lets the
TriAmp ® MK II respond like a combo.
MASTER: Turn this knob to dial in the desired level
for AMP 1B relative to the two other preamps'
levels.
The AMP 1 MASTER knob affects Channel B only.
Channel A, on the other hand, operates much
like vintage amps that were not equipped with
master knobs. Twist the GAIN A knob to control
the volume and saturation level of Channel A.
MASTER SECTION
FX ON SWITCH: Turns TriAmp
off. If you want to switch the FX LOOP on and off
via the Stageboard or MIDI, set this switch to the
'off' position.
LEARN: Installation of the MSM-1 MIDI Module is a
prerequisite for MIDI capability. With the module
installed, a press on the MIDI LEARN button will
save the current CHANNEL/FX LOOP combination.
MASTER: Determines overall TriAmp
PRESENCE: Determines presence levels for all three
amps. The PRESENCE circuit is automatically
reconfigured with each change of channel to res-
pond optimally for each basic sound. Try it. In
each channel, turn the PRESENCE control all the
way up and back down again to hear how it
affects each channel differently.
STANDBY: Mutes the amp during breaks.
The voltage to the power amp tubes is reduced
but not turned completely off to extend tube life;
when you turn the amp back to full power, they
are still warm and don't need to be reheated
from a cold start.
MAINS: Power ON/OFF switch.
