very good condition amp with custom roadcase the 150-Watt version of the Clean Machine control panel reveals a few surprises. While some of the amp’s controls are self-explanatory, such as the 3-band tone stack and the Dwell and Level settings for the reverb unit, others, such as the EQ-1/EQ-2 switch, the two reverb “Tone” knobs, and “Accent” knob, deserve a little more attention. To further enhance the player’s control, each of the EQ knobs has a push/pull option. The EQ-1/EQ-2 option enables the player to change the voicing of the amp with the flick of a switch. In the EQ-1 position, the regular tone stack settings are used; activating the EQ-2 setting produces a midrange boost and an increase in gain.

Fuchs says that he’s treated the reverb unit as if it were an off-board effect being run through an effects loop, so the first “Tone” knob affects the signal input, while the second “Tone” affects the output. Last, the “Accent” control acts as a global presence setting. The effects loop itself can be run in either series or in parallel, depending on what effects are being used and how much wet/dry signal blending is desired.
