"The secret weapon is the Glass knob, which offers a treble boost"
With drive set to minimum you can get a clean boost using the volume knob anywhere past 12 o'clock - there's plenty there to kick your amp up a gear. Bring in the drive knob and you get increasing shades of overdrive that are truly reminiscent of cooking valves.
The secret weapon, however, is the Glass knob, which offers a treble boost. Fully left, you'll have no tonal shift, but turning it up dials in plenty of top-end sheen: great in a live setting especially.
This a powerful, throaty sounding overdrive with clean boost and treble boost thrown in. Valve-like drive sounds aplenty will find favour with the rockers who like it classic and articulate, rather than super modern and smooth.
