    • Tiga kali ganda: A treble booster circuit, ideal for pushing an already overdriven amp or adding sparkle.
• Channel B Controls:
  • LEVEL B: Adjusts the output volume of Channel B.
  • DRIVE B: Controls the amount of gain/overdrive for Channel B.
  • TONE B: Shapes the tonal character of Channel B.
  • B Circuit Switch: Selects between three distinct overdrive circuits for Channel B:
    • 2 Stage: A classic two-stage soft-clipping overdrive.
    • keras: A harder clipping overdrive with increased compression and sustain.
    • JFET: A JFET-based circuit offering a more amp-like, natural overdrive.
• Suis kaki:
  • Suis Kaki: Engages or bypasses Channel A. The corresponding LED indicates its status.
  • B Suis Kaki: Engages or bypasses Channel B. The corresponding LED indicates its status.

Suis Panel Belakang

• B->A / A+B Switch: This switch determines the stacking order when both channels are engaged:
  • B->A: Channel B feeds into Channel A. This is useful for boosting Channel A with Channel B's gain.
  • A + B: Channels A and B run in parallel. This allows for blending the two distinct tones.
• BRIGHT Switch: A global switch that adds a subtle high-end boost to the overall output.
  • +: Engages the bright boost.
  • -: Disengages the bright boost.
