4) CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS

CONTROL PANEL (TOP)
1
1
INPUT
Connect your guitar to this socket. Use a high-quality instrument cable
for this.
2
VOLUME
This control sets the volume of the FAB5. With single-coil pickups, light
distortion sets in at around the 12-o'clock position, with humbuckers a
little sooner; then the overdrive increases continuously. At very high
settings and with a strong attack, the amp produces the typical, harmoni-
ous Class-A crunch with light compression.
3
TONE
This control sets the tone reproduction of the FAB5. At 0, the treble is
reduced, but the sound always remains defined and never becomes exces-
sively muffled or flabby. In the middle position the treble is largely
neutral, and turning the knob further to the right adds edge and pres-
ence.
4
BOOST
This control is always activated unless a footswitch (see 11) is con-
nected and increases the volume and overdrive as it is turned to the the
right. In conjunction with the VOLUME control (1), it makes it possible
to adjust the level of distortion and volume of the FAB5 sensitively over
a wide range from clean to crunch to medium gain overdrive.
With a standard footswitch connected to the BOOST socket (11) on the rear
of the amplifier, the boost function can be activated or deactivated.
This makes it possible to set individual volume and distortion levels for
rhythm and solo playing and retrieve them with the footswitch.
5
POWER LAMP
This indicator shows that the FAB5 is turned on and connected to a suit-
able power supply.
