Voice Description
Clean Voice 1 American Clean – Very clean and bright but with a solid and tight low end.
Clean Voice 2
British Clean – Looser bass response with warmer mid-range and is very
sensitive to the output level of the guitar and the player’s dynamics.
OD Voice 1 Classic Overdrive – ‘Hot-rodded’ overdrive with medium power damping.
OD Voice 2
Modern Overdrive – A strong mid-emphasised pre-overdrive boost, as well as a
looser, more aggressive sound due to reduced power amp damping.
