The bass control adjusts the low-end frequencies emphasised by the amp. It can act as a treble limiter, when rolled down to adjust the treble peak. The presence control is similar to the treble control in that it adjusts the high-range frequencies, however it also affects the treble control. High-treble settings are popular when using high distortion, to provide more clarity to each note, and amongst lead guitarists who need their tone to cut through more. The higher the treble, the crisper and sharper the tone will be. The treble control adjusts the high-range frequencies emphasised by the amplifier. Avoid having the gain too high, or the tone can become a bit muddy and muffled, and the feedback levels will also be increased. High gain settings are best for hard rock and heavy metal. The higher the gain, the more distorted the tone will be. Popular channels include: clean, crunch, overdrive and high gain. The tone can then be tweaked further using the other individual controls. This changes the “voice” of the amp by adjusting the emphasis on different frequencies and the gain level. The preamp circuit, also known as a channel selector can be found on some Vox amps such as the entry-level AV Analogue Valve. There are several main controls found on pretty much every Vox amp so let’s take a look at those first.
