amp gain but pushes the power amp section and makes it work harder giving you a very desirable level of power amp
distortion which is a very pleasing “retro” style sound.
DRIVE SWITCH: Switch in to enable the extra tube drive stage for Channel B, the led will illuminate when active. This gives
you even more gain to play around with using the drive control (6) This channel is designed mainly for full on lead distortion.
This must be switched on for the drive channel to be switchable with the enclosed FS4 footswitch.
DRIVE: This sets the amount of drive sound provided by the extra tube drive stage for Channel B. This varies from subtle
crunch to hi-gain lead break sounds.
BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE: These are a traditional set of passive tone controls. Passive controls have the advantage of
always sounding musical at any of their settings mainly due to their unique interactive nature. This gives players a more natural
set of tools to create their ideal sound. (Try them all set at midway (5) as a good starting point) (Top row of controls affects
channel B, bottom row of controls affects Channel A)
REVERB: Controls how loud the built in reverb sounds. The reverb in the VH100R is a legendary Sound Enhancements aka
‘Accutronics Reverb’. The only choice for that authentic reverb sound. There are separate controls for Channel A (bottom)
and Channel B (Top)
EFFECTS: Controls the amount of effect returned from an external effects unit via the effects loop/s located on the rear
panel. There are separate controls for channel A (bottom) and channel B (top)
CHANNEL SWITCH: Use this switch to select the active channel, the led will illuminate for the active channel (Top or
bottom row of controls) Channel A (Bottom) produces clean tone and mild overdrive that is reminiscent of a sixties American
tube combo. Channel B (Top) produces more substantial overdrive and distortion that is associated with British tube stacks.
Both channels feature an extra gain stage for more drive which is also footswitchable.
PRESENCE: An output stage tone control. This adjusts the high frequency response - it adjusts your sound from being dull
to giving it edge / sounding sparkly.
RESONANCE: Adjusts level of Power Tube damping. This allows the player to adjust how tight the bass response is - this
will be dependent on what speaker cabinet used. The Resonance allows you to adjust the bass damping to your particular
taste.
