  • Tremolo (Depth & Speed): Adjusts the intensity (Depth) and rate (Speed) of the built-in tremolo effect.
  • Reverb Level: Controls the amount of the built-in spring reverb effect. Use sparingly as it has a long decay tail.
  • Top Boost Channel (Bass, Treble, Volume): Provides interactive tone controls (Bass, Treble) and a dedicated Volume for the Top Boost channel. This Volume acts as a preamp gain, while the Master Volume acts as the overall output.
  • Normal Channel (Volume): A single Volume control for the Normal channel. This also acts as a preamp gain, with the Master Volume controlling the overall output.

Understanding the Tone Cut Control

The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage nke amplifier. Unlike typical tone controls that boost or cut specific frequencies, the Tone Cut knob reduces the high-end frequencies as it is increased. This allows for fine-tuning the overall brightness and presence of your sound.

Ọrụ Channel

The AC15C2 offers two distinct channels: Normal and Top Boost. Each channel has its own input jack and volume control. Experiment with both channels to discover their unique tonal characteristics. The Top Boost channel provides additional EQ controls (Bass, Treble) for more precise sound sculpting.
