What each control does
Gain
Preamp drive. Higher adds breakup, sustain and distortion.
Master
Output level and feel. Balances loudness without changing the EQ.
Bass
Low-end body. Too much gets boomy; less tightens palm mutes.
Mid
Note focus. More mids help leads cut through; fewer sound wider.
Treble
Brightness and attack. Raise for bite, lower to soften harshness.
Compressor
Evens out picking dynamics and adds sustain.
Gate
Cuts hiss when you are not playing.
Modulation
Chorus or phaser: movement and width.
Echo
Repeats your signal. Time and mix set the space.
Reverb
Room, plate or hall ambience after the amp.
