things in life, it is worth investing some time
playing around until you find the desired sweet
spot!
Note: The amp’s Master Presence control (17)
affords you further adjustment of the high end.
7. OD1 Channel Select Switch
Pressing this front panel switch selects the
Overdrive 1 (OD1) channel of your AVT.
8. OD1 Gain Control
This rotary control can be best described as the
‘sonic brain’ of the OD1 channel. Lower Gain
settings will produce well-defined, natural
sounding overdrives which have a nice ‘cut,’
making them perfect for funky, blues rock.
Higher gain settings will see the sound start to
get more ‘rounded’ as the AVT’s pre-amp valve
is pushed into saturation.
9. OD1 Scoop Switch
Fine tuned to create the most awesome mid
‘scoop’ imaginable, OD1’s Scoop circuitry is
more than just a pre-set middle control. Instead
it actually reconfigures the whole post-EQ
voicing of the channel - from low to high.
Because of this, even though the resulting
‘scooped’ sound that occurs when the switch is
activated (pushed ‘in’) is totally extreme, the
channel’s overall tone still remains tight and
focused.
10. OD1 Volume Control
As its name suggests, this control determines
the volume of the OD1 channel. The actual
setting you choose will be dependent on how
loud you want the channel to be, and also on
the type of sound you have selected on the pre-
amp (i.e.: high Gain settings will generate much
more preamp output level than lower, cleaner
sounding Gain settings).
Due to the remarkable realism of our Advanced
Valvestate Technology, once the Volume control
is turned-up past a certain point, the preamp will
start to push the power amp section into
creating its own, desirable distortion - just like
an all-valve Marshall amp. When this occurs, the
AVT’s power amp will start to add musical
harmonics, compression and desirable ‘break-
up’ to your sound.
As previously stated, each channel has its own
volume control so you can easily balance the
levels of all three channels. Once set to your
satisfaction, these controls can be left alone and
you can use the amp’s Master Volume knob (16)
to set your overall volume level to best suit each
playing situation and venue.
11. OD2 Channel Select Switch
This selects the Overdrive (OD2) channel of
your amp.
12. OD2 Gain Control
Cranking the OD2 Gain control will unleash the
most extreme gain levels ever found on a
Marshall Valvestate amplifier. The higher
settings of the OD2 gain control can be likened
to driving the front-end of an already raging
Marshall valve amp with a high gain, overdrive
stomp box. If you’ve already experienced the
tonal pleasure of ‘front ending’ a Marshall valve
amplifier in this way, you will appreciate the
energy and dynamics of this type of set-up!
Turning the OD2 Gain control clockwise will see
more of the already smouldering signal being
sweetly compressed and ‘rounded’ by the
unique characteristic of the AVT’s Valve Drive
stage as it is driven over the top into total
saturation. This channel can also be as nasty
and ‘in-yer-face’ as you would like. Engaging the
OD2 ‘Scoop’ button (13) will take this channel
onto a new level of cranium crushing crunch,
perfect for modern (a.k.a. ‘nu’) metal.
13. OD2 Scoop Switch
As is true of the OD1 Scoop, this circuit acts like
an advanced, pre-set contour control that not
only ‘scoops-out’ the mids but also shapes the
highs and lows for a tight, focused sound.
Engaging OD2’s Scoop Switch loads you up
with a ‘bottom heavy’ sound perfect for the de-
tuned, high-gain aggression favoured by many
modern acts.
14. OD2 Volume Control
This control regulates the drive of the OD2
channel into the power stage of the amplifier,
hence controlling its output volume. You will find
that the louder you go, the looser the bottom
end of your sound will become. Having said this,
the closed-back cabinet design of your AVT is
such that it will deliver tight, well-defined low
end at much higher volumes than any other
‘hybrid’ amplifier known to man.
15. Overdrive Tone Controls
Your AVT is equipped with rotary Bass, Middle,
and
T
reble EQ controls which are shared
between the two Overdrive Channels, OD1 and
OD2.
This EQ section boasts a tone circuit
identical to the one used in legendary Marshall
valve amplifiers such as the 100 Watt ‘Plexi’ and
the JCM800 2203, making it a foundation stone
for that instantly recognisable and
unsurpassable ‘Marshall Sound.’ As was the
case with the Clean channel’s EQ network,
these controls are interactive and, as a result,
allow endless tonal possibilities.
Note: Remember that in addition to these three
controls, further tonal adjustment is also
afforded by the Scoop button (13) and also the
Master Presence control which is explained later
(17).
II. The Master Section
These controls adjust the power amp section of
your AVT and determine the overall Volume and
Presence of the amplifier.
16. Master Volume
Once you have set the relative volumes of your
AVT’s channels, this control governs the overall
volume of the amplifier.
17. Master Presence
A feature normally only found on expensive
valve amplifiers, the Presence control affords
you increased high frequency control by altering
the power amplifiers feedback. Increasing the
Presence control will emphasise high-end ‘fizz’
in overdriven tones and top-end ‘sparkle’ in
clean sounds.
lII. FX Section
A. Parallel FX Loop
Your AVT boasts a rear-panel mounted Parallel
FX loop for use with external effects devices.
This FX loop is Mono so if using a stereo effects
processor you would need to connect to the
‘mono’ output on the processor.
18. FX Loop Mix Control
(Clean & Overdrive)
When an effects unit is hooked-up to the
aforementioned FX loop, this control adjusts the
FX Mix for all three channels. Turning it
clockwise increases the amount of effect you
hear - from ‘dry’ (0) to ‘wet’ (10).
Please note that the FX mix on your external
processor should be set to maximum (i.e. ‘wet’).
B. Internal Digital FX
As mentioned in the introduction of this manual,
the AVT100X features a DFX (Digital Effects)
section which adds digital effects to all three
channels.
The DFX section boasts 16 on-board effects and
three controls - DFX Mix, Adjust and Program.
We chose these particular effects algorithms to
give you a comprehensive palette of natural
sounding options. When developing the DFX
section, our aim was to enhance the overall
sound of the amplifier and, most importantly,
allow the effects to work with you instead of
masking your all-important tone underneath
layers of artificial sounding digital signal
processing.
