UTILIZATION

In principle, the first button (input) is pr amplify the sound. RULES It is up to without the green LED does not turn red: you climb up that has changes to red (playing hard) and you rediminue a little later. If a does not turn red even at max, is that your input signal is low enough, you can trigger button 20 db and refine the rglage.
Then you RULES output level (output) according to the power that you want to send to the next level.

Normally, this type of rglage minimizes interference because the signal is amplified dpart before moving into the electronic circuit. I think that's what uses the most also the lamp (not from me .. sr).
In rglant diffrent (down in between), the lamp would be less requests, which can affect the sound.

In short, the best is to try and listen DIFFERENT rglages what you dish the most.

SOUND QUALITY

/! ATTENTION: I have replaced the lamp with a Groove Tube 12AX7B, much better for bass /!

I use this amp for my bass pr for my amp (Fender rumble 100) is a powerful but its cold trs ...
This pre amp provides more warmth in the sound, it's glove!
Normally it takes to plug in an effects loop for my use, because the goal is to deprive the pre amp the amp has a trs's cold, and the grain of the rock art and the tube lamp directly to HP, but I personally prfres plug directly into the amp, effect pedals like a what.
Basically I have a: Low> Effect pedals> Art Tube> amp
Why? ben the Art Tube is to provide the grain, so it's not versatile trs, and putting it before the pre amp to the amp, there is always the grain of the lamp, but you can tweak with the EQ of the amp, which ultimately becomes versatile.
In any case, with the level MIDI input and output level at 9am, we get a clean sound and level of Global Warming to the max output level low, there is a good distortion. The problem of the distortion is that it's not very practical for my use, I have it locks into place and any time a arrter as a pedal effect. And secondly, it's not trs versatile, it's a what. that's a I'll buy one specially for low distortion, and the Global Warming Art Tube all.

OVERALL OPINION

Ben I said everything I reu yesterday, intended to Global Warming my amp.
I changed the lamp with a Groove Tube, which is a lamp diffrent other, which has a typical grain and low diffrent my taste.
But the original lamp silent trs correct the distortion that silent apart trs ugly!
send me a message if you have further questions on the pre amp in itself, or on changing the lamp!
