TCT 35 Features and Controls
INPUT
–Mono !” Jack socket for instrument input. Use a
properly screened “guitar” cable for interconnection. There
are many different makes of guitar cable available, ranging
from fairly inexpensive to very expensive. Each have
different characteristics, and depending on your particular
guitar will give different results, all very confusing for
the inexperienced! For instance, a “cheap” cable with
high capacitance (which would normally be termed as a
³QRW YHU\JRRG FDEOH´ FDQDFWXDOO\ EHRIEHQHILW IRU DQ
overly bright single coil guitar by taming the very high end
frequencies. Alternatively, a very low capacitance cable
can help brighten up a muddy sounding hum-bucker type
guitar. If possible experiment to try and find what suits
you and your guitar best. Hopefully your dealer can help
you choose the right cable. If using an FX pedal system
then the best advice is to use high quality, low noise, low
capacitance cable from pedals to amp connection.
CHANNEL SWITCHING
– the pushbutton above the
INPUT JACK controls which channel you are using. OUT
activates channel A and illuminates A l.e.d. indicator, and

will come on. When using the remote footswitch operation

footswitch circuit.
CHANNEL A & B PREAMP CONTROLS
– each
channel has the same independent control line up,
therefore the description below should be read for each
channel.
GAIN
– this control determines the amount of signal that

the next DRIVE control, it is pretty straightforward in use
– low settings are clean – mid settings are in the start
of distortion range – and high settings are the overdrive
range.
DRIVE
– the DRIVE control determines the gain and
voicing of the 2nd and 3rd amplification stages. Please
be aware that this control does NOT turn the signal OFF
at zero setting! As with the GAIN control, low settings are
cleaner – mid settings are crunchier – and high settings
are more distorted.
As stated above the GAIN and DRIVE controls work in
conjunction and by so doing a very wide of different gain
levels and voicing’s can be obtained – much more than
amps with just a single gain control. Please experiment;
there is no right or wrong setting, but many different
sounds and voicings
TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS EQ
– as stated above
the EQ system is very wide ranging and very versatile,
experimentation is the key – please start with these
controls set to mid position. What is important to
remember is that the EQ circuit is connected before the
gain circuits on channel A, and after the gain circuits on

– but with much more on offer.
VOLUME
– this quite simply controls the output of each
channels preamp, giving you the required sound level and
balance that you require.
RESPONSE

amps, but with a difference – instead of just boosting
