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.
