Coupe Footswitch

1) LEAD—The Lead footswitch selects between Rhythm and Lead Chan-

nels on the ampliﬁer, regardless of the setting of the channel selector

switch on the front panel. If the LEAD word is backlit, then the Lead chan-

nel is active. If the LEAD word is unlit, then the Rhythm channel is ac-

tive.
2) BOOST—The Boost footswitch selects the adjustable volume boost

as determined on the back of the Coupe ampliﬁer. This gives up to 10dB

of “master” volume boost and the tone is optimized for solos. It affects

either channel, and when the Boost is backlit, the Volume Boost control

on the amp is functional.

3) EFFECT—The Effect footswitch activates the Reverb on the ’36 Coupe,

and is switch assignable for Reverb or Tremolo on the ’72 Coupe. When

Effect is backlit, the appropriate effect is activated.
Emergency Mono Cable Use: If the stereo cable or footswitch were dam-

aged, a regular instrument amp cable or single button footswitch can be

used to provide limited capability. If a mono cable were used, the Chan-

nel Selection(Lead) button would select between Rhythm and Lead, but

it would not illuminate. Also, the Boost function would be disabled, and

on the ’36 Coupe, the Reverb would also be disabled. On the ’72 Coupe,

either Reverb or Tremolo could still be used since selecting the other with

the footswitch assign button would disable it.
