Boost Switch
3 4 21
A boost circuit is provided to help achieve 'a-bit-more' overdrive for leads. The boost can be selected
via the front panel switch or through the supplied footswitch pedal. A Red LED illuminates to
indicate when the boost is active.
Channel 1 Tone Controls
6
The Treble, Bass, and Middle tone controls are to help you shape your sound. They are post-gain
and pre-volume. These are active only when Channel 1 is selected.
Scoop Switch
16
Provides deep midrange cut and bass boost to get that deep "chunk" sound.
Channel 2
Channel 2 can be used as the clean channel and thus has no Gain control. In other respects
the layout is the same as that of Channel 1, with independent Volume and Treble, Bass, and
Middle tone controls. When channel 2 is active the green LED located next to the Channel 2
volume control is illuminated.
Brightness Switch
10
Channel 2 includes a Brightness switch that activates a circuit to provide additional treble
boost to help make your tone sparkle.
Expander Switch
17
Adds deep bottom and sparkling highs to Channel 2.
Master Controls
Master Volume
12
Controls the overall level of both channels.
Reverb Control
13
The Master Control section also includes a rotary Reverb control that adjusts the overall reverb level
for both channels. The YCV80/YCV80Q is equipped with a long-style Accutronics® dual-spring reverb
for authentic vintage reverb.
Standby Switch & Indicator
This switch controls the high voltage power being supplied to the tubes. This mode
effectively keeps the tubes warmed up when the amp is not in use. The large, jewel
indicator on the front panel glows Red when the amp is fully powered-up and changes to
Yellow when the high voltage circuit has been turned off. Putting the amp into Standby
mode (i.e. during set breaks) shuts off the amplifier output stage and effectively increases
tube life by reducing wear on the tubes.
EFX / LINE Send Jack, Return Jack & Trim Pots
The Send and Return jacks of the YCV80/YCV80Q allow convenient use of an external effect
unit. Simply connect a ¼-inch phone cable to the Send jack of the YCV80 and then connect
this cable to the Input of your effects unit. To send the processed signal back to the YCV80,
connect the output of the effects unit to the Rtn jack of the YCV80/YCV80Q. The Trim pots
enable fine adustments to the signal being sent to and returning from the external effects.
The ¼-inch TRS Send jack is used as part of an effects loop, in conjunction with the
Rtn jack. The -10dBu output is ideal for most guitar effects pedals and professional signal
processors. You can also use this output to slave the YCV80/YCV80Q with another guitar
amplifier by plugging into the Rtn jack of the destination amplifier that will be the slave.
The ¼-inch TRS Return jack is used as your return jack for your effects loop. It accepts an
input signal that is passed to the power amplifier, so it can be used as a power amp in. The
Master Control section regulates the signal, so Reverb can be added as well as Presence.
