In addition, I made a point of tuning the two Lead channels to respond slightly
differently: response isabit moreaggressive,faster and moreprecise it allbut
lunges when you attack strings. , on the other hand, is not quite as testy. Its
response is not as rabid, and with an extra sprinkling of low end added to the sonic
recipe, it also delivers warmer tone. demands rather precise technique, while
the more forgiving is easier to handle. The feature gives you two more
voicing options for each of the two Lead channels - (moderate Gain level)
and (ultra high Gain shred). What's more, you can even tweak each
individuallyusing the dedicatedGain,Volume and Trebleknob. Thisbringsa bunch of
benefits to you, including greater freedom and more precision in sound-shaping. The
four Soft Leadvariants ( + , + , + , +
) run the gamut of crunch tones from light (with the Gain knob set no higher
than 11 o'clock) to heavy crunch (with the Gain knob somewhere between 10 and 1
o'clock), with tonal properties differing quite markedly from Crunch channel sounds.
These modes even let you dial in relatively lean clean sounds. So if clean is your thing
andyour music mandates arangeofdifferent clean variants,simply setthe Gainknob
below the 9 o'clock mark andselect (Lo Gain) to see what you can come up
with.

this reason, I tuned its threshold (that's the level at which the gate triggers) range to
suit this preamp mode, and then adjusted it for (Lead channel,

works, I suggest you start by setting the Threshold knob to the far left (
opens at low signal levels) and slowly twist it clockwise to gradually raise the gate's
trigger threshold. When the knob arrives at the far right position, the will
not trigger untilthe signal reachesa veryhigh level. Thismeans thatthe preamp must
