TREBLE: As with most guitar pre-amps, the TREBLE Control is the strongest of the three rotary tone controls. It's setting
on theV-TWIN determines the blend and strength of the MIDDLE and BASS Controls. Set high, it is the dominant
control, minimizing the amount of MID and BASS that would be possible in the
mix. Set low, the TREBLE becomes the recessive control and a warmer, darker
blend is produced. Dial with care. Subtle tweaking of this control tends to produce
the best results.
NOTE The lower region of the MID Control determines midrange punch and boldness in lower gain sounds and a smooth
vocal blend in high gain sounds. It can be very effective acting as a "cut through the band control" in certain situations. Dial to
taste, remembering that the setting of the TREBLE Control greatly affects this control's strength.

This is by far the most powerful control in the pre-amp. It not only determines the V-TWIN'S overall
Gain amount, shape and sensitivity...but it is also a powerful Tone control. Generally
speaking, whatever is dialed here ultimately determines the V-TWINS' personality. Set low,
it allows cleaner, brighter sounds with enhanced dynamic response, especially in the
higher frequencies. Set high, the whole personality of the channel becomes darker, fatter
and more overdriven. In the V-TWIN we worked hard to make sure the entire range of
Gain available is usable and more importantly, musical. Don't think for a moment that this
simple one knob layout limits you as to the amount and texture of gain. Long neurotic hours
were spent to ensure that the entire range of Gain was stylistically accurate. This is a good
time to mention that most of the great sounds can be found by setting the VOLUME Control
moderately. Use of moderation here will also reduce the likelihood of pesky tube microphonic

sweet smooth clip which is a classic ingredient to a cool blues sound. Try the GAIN Control set at around or so and the MID
Control set at around to for a tasty blend of smooth dynamic overdrive. Add Treble to focus the attack and fatten with the
BASS Control. Presence will "Open up" or compress this "beyond vintage"
sound that howls with authenticity. This is just one example of how to use
and set up the MID Control and experimentation as always is encouraged.
At high Gain settings in the SOLO Channel, the MID Control dials in punch
and aggression. For the tightest crunch chording, set the MID Control high,
say around . To make single notes feel juicier and more liquid,
reduce the MID Control to say around or so. Using higher settings of the
MID Control in conjunction with the PRESENCE Control also set high,
delivers a down right ugly crunch thats huge and can get pretty angry - not fit
for the meek ! This type of setting also sounds great and becomes easier to
play and more elastic feeling with the GAIN Control set at or higher.
For CLEAN sounds, adjust the MID to taste, remembering that the lower it is set, the sweeter the sound and as
you increase the MID, you will get a punchier, bolder sound. For lead or overdrive sounds the MID Control set low produces a
