1. INPUT jack
This is where you plug your guitar into the
Brian May Special
. Please use a high
quality guitar cable.
2. GAIN control
This adjusts the gain of the
Brian May Special’s
Booster section and, in so
doing, affects the overall gain of the amplifier. Turning this control up (clockwise)
will produce rich, overdriven tones that range from mildly crunchy to maximum
saturation. Also, when this control is turned down to low settings, your sound will
clean up nicely. This control is also extremely effective when you are using the
BOOSTER OUTPUT (3) to drive the pre-amp of another amplifier.
3. BOOSTER OUTPUT jack
This output allows you to use the Brian May Special’s Booster section to drive the
pre-amp of another amplifier. Doing this will “push” the input of the amplifier you
connect it to into a smooth, overdriven sound and will add sustain and musical
harmonics. Remember, the BOOSTER section of the
Brian May Special
is an
exact emulation of the homemade Treble Booster pedal Brian uses to drive the
Normal channel of his AC30s whenever he is playing live or in the studio.
