Hey,

thanks a lot!

Know that you told me, what one can hear using the different jacks, I really heard it myself. Definitly the lower Jack sounds warmer (less bright thenn the upper one). I didn't really hear, that one was louder than the other, but the difference in tonecolor is interesting enough. I plugged a 1998 Epiphone Les Paul Standard into it, I finally managed to get the sound of intro of "sweet home Alabama", as I would describe it.
What I find very interesting and like very much is the Pull-Bright Option on the Treble-knob, you can almost get a sound like the scratchy gutiar of the Intro to the TV-Series Shaft. Funny. Ok, I know sound lies in the eye of the beholder. Smile

Thank you for the other information you have given me, too!

It might seem I am a dumbass, but now that I know what the upper and lower Jack of each channel is for, what are the two channels for? Is it just to allow quick change between two sounds that you have "preset" before? Or can I try playing with two guitars over the same amp? Sorry, I know, this might sound very dumb and I know I maybe don't deserve a good Amp like that, but I have fun with it (really don't like my old Hughes and Kettner Attax 40).

Has anyone an idea how where I can get the two missing knob-heads?
