| Think of the Tourmaster™ as four separate amps in one box. Each
channel has an identical set of controls that are simply repeated four
times.
Clean/Vintage 1 is the cleanest of the four. Within this channel
lives a range of Classic tones ranging from pristine sparkle with the voicing
switch set to MODERN to a punchy, aggressive drive (think clean JTM) in
the CLASSIC mode. Pressing the button to activate the CONTOUR control opens
an entire new range of beautiful clean, almost acoustic, tones not often
found in a tube amplifier.
Clean/Vintage 2 has a very similar voicing to the Clean/Vintage 1
channel. We’ve added more gain so this channel can be “pushed” into mild
overdrive. Sweet blues and classic rock tones are easily coaxed out of
this channel. The contour knob adds another level of unique flavors.
Overdrive 1: From AC/DC crunch to modern rock, this channel covers
a lot of bases all by itself. Dial down the gain and the feel is pure classic
rock. Push the gain and enter into more modern, saturated territory. Scoop
the mids with the CONTOUR control for monstrous metal or set it for classic
British rhythm.
Overdrive 2: The Tourmaster’s most intense channel, you’ll find ferocious
gain with a wide range of tones to suit the ‘80s shredder as well as the
heaviest modern metal player. Scoop the mids with the powerful CONTOUR
control for massive crunch or push the midrange for a solo tone that cuts
through with serious authority. |
