[. . . ] CHANNEL 3 PRESENCE SWITCH For added clarity, the CH 3 PRESENCE control increases the highest guitar harmonics in the 8-11k Hz range. A normal bright switch works only in the 3-5k Hz range leaving your sound somewhat flat. Single or dual coil pickups will determine the use of this control. 5. CHANNEL DRIVE The channel drive delivers 12AX7 tube saturation and EL34 power tube compression. This channel incorporates a dual section lead DRIVE control with 72 dB of dynamic range. So you can go from shimmering clean to fabulous blues soft clipping to full blown overdrive with total tube warmth. For mild 12AX7 tube emulation, set the DRIVE control between 2 & 3. For full blown drive, set the control between 6 and 10 (your guitar volume should be turned all the way up). Because the SX AMP has a lot of gain in the DRIVE control, you can get guitar feedback. If feedback is a problem, reduce the amount of DRIVE or move the guitar away from the speakers. DSP EFFECTS SECTION 14. SMART EFFECTSTM ADJUST (PARAMETER) CONTROLS The 24-BIT processor provides a host of great sounding effects including FLANGE, REVERB, ECHO, & CHORUS.
