• Gain Controls: Pre-Gain knob with push-style options for Bright (+8 dB treble boost) and Punch (low-end emphasis).

• Built-in Chorus: Includes independent Rate and Depth controls with a manual defeat switch (also controllable via standard remote footswitch).

Rear & Patch Panel Connections:

• Effects Loop: Low-level Effects Send and Effects Return jacks for processing pedals.
• Preamp Out / Power Amp In: 1 Volt RMS nominal patch loop allowing direct access to isolate the preamp section or inject a signal directly into the 600W power module.

• • Dual paralleled 1/4" Speaker Jacks.
  • Dedicated Low Out and High Out crossover jacks for bi-amping.
  • Balanced Line Out: Transformer-balanced XLR output with low-noise frequency compensation for routing directly into live PA mixing consoles or studio interfaces.
