This BluGPrint recreates the flexible clean channel of the AMP1 Mercury Edition. Don’t let the name fool you—this clean channel is anything but basic.
For an authentic reproduction of the original, the gain control (equivalent to the clean volume on the AMP1) is used. — Therefor it offers a wide dynamic range and exceptional responsiveness.
The X-CONTROL “Treble Bleed” determines the high-frequency behavior when the gain is rolled back. Reducing this control gradually decreases the treble bleed effect until it is completely disabled.
The X-CONTROL “Tone” corresponds to the side-mounted Custom-Control-Tone knob of the AMP1.
POWERDRIVE allows you to introduce additional saturation effects similar to those produced when pushing a power amp. These are intentionally designed differently from the AMP1 to allow finer nuances in the clean range. — Perfect for adding warmth and dimension without losing clarity.
Tip:
For singing vintage overdrive sounds, the AMPX includes specialized BluGPrints such as OSD 50 or Super Reverb.
