BASS: This control blends in the lower frequencies, and its effectiveness, again, depends on the setting of the TREBLE Control.
It should be set with moderation, as extreme settings in either low or high directions can produce an unbalanced tone. Be
especially careful when using the V-TWIN at high Volume level
settings because too much BASS will cause a flabby, unfocused
sound that can't be dialed out because excessive BASS has been
introduced to the pre-amp in the early stages.
These settings will vary with the amount of Volume and Treble you
have dialed up.

PRESENCE
PRESENCE: This control attenuates the upper high end harmonics and controls dynamic compression. High settings produce
more sparkle and cut, lending a more open quality to the Channel. Low settings of the PRESENCE Control in either,
channel will compress the sound and enhance the more
vocal like qualities of single notes.
This control can also produce a fatter, warmer character,
especially in the SOLO Channel. Lower Treble settings,
combined with low Presence settings produce the richest,
roundest solo sounds. Try setting the CLEAN Channels'
PRESENCE Control at say around or for a sweet
blend of sparkle and cut. This range in the CLEAN
Channel also tends to give the impression of more headroom. Try a SOLO Channel PRESENCE Control setting of (moderate)
to start with and adjust to taste. Avoid using higher settings of the PRESENCE Control when high GAIN and TREBLE
settings are in use. This reduces the likelihood of annoying microphonic tube problems.

PRESENCE
MASTER: The MASTER Control serves 3 purposes in the layout of the V-TWIN. FIRST: It serves as a Level Balancing
Control for each of the channels' 3 Modes. This enables a wide range of front end GAIN Control settings to be matched to a
given listening level and the relative level compared to the other Modes.
SECOND: It acts as an Effects Send Control for each Mode
in the Effects Loop. As with many of the controls in V-TWIN,
the best results for balance and tone are usually found in the
middle range of this control.
THIRD: The MASTER is the Recording jacks' Send Level
Control. When using the direct Recording jacks found on the
Rear Panel to interface directly to a mixing board or a recorder,
this control will determine the amount of signal you will be sending via these jacks. In this application it is usually best to start with
the MASTER Control set to and gradually increase it to the desired level. This minimizes the possibility of blowing speakers or
eardrums in the event the engineer has an extremely sensitive input headroom setting in place at the console. Once again avoid
setting the MASTER above in the Clean Channel Modes as high settings here can possibly overload the Input Stage,
producing unwanted clipping.
