Controls

• Level: This adjusts the overall output volume and offers plenty of headroom to push your amplifier.
• Drive: This controls the amount of saturation, ranging from subtle grit to thick, high-gain overdrive.
• Blend: This is a crucial feature for every bassist. It mixes the clean signal with the saturated output. By doing so, it ensures you never lose your low-end “punch.” Your fundamental frequency thus remains intact and powerful.
• Tone: This is an interactive frequency control. Use it to find the perfect balance, whether you want to emphasize vintage warmth or modern top-end attack.
