Expert Features
Expand what your amp can do
The Expert Features of the AMP1 Mercury Edition are functions that extend the amp’s standard feature set to suit your individual needs. They comprise the following:
- Half Power Mode (operating mode with 50 watts output power)
- Preset Mode (mode for recalling previously saved presets)
- Low Gain Mode (mode with reduced gain for vintage freaks)
- Individual Channel Gain (setting and saving an individual gain value for each channel)
- FX LOOP on/off (switchable FX loop)
Below we explain the basic functions and benefits of the Expert Features and show you how to activate them. You can find more information, detailed instructions and tutorial videos on the Expert Features of the AMP1 Mercury Edition here: AMP1 Mercury Edition Expert Features.
STARTUP MODES: HALF POWER MODE / PRESET MODE / LOW GAIN MODE
Besides the Standard Mode (or Normal Mode), which is how it leaves the factory, you can start the AMP1 Mercury Edition in various operating modes:
- In Half Power Mode, the output power of the AMP1 Mercury Edition is reduced to 50 watts, so you can play a 60-watt speaker cab (e.g. BluGuitar NANOCAB or FATCAB) with full Nanotube saturation. To do this, hold down the left footswitch while switching on the AMP1 Mercury Edition.
- In Preset Mode, the three footswitches of the AMP1 Mercury Edition recall previously saved presets in which the settings for CHANNEL, BOOST, REVERB and FX-LOOP ON/OFF are stored. To do this, hold down the right footswitch while switching on the AMP1 Mercury Edition.
- In Low Gain Mode, the gain is reduced on all channels. This gives you sounds like those you know from the „LOW“ input of vintage amps. To do this, hold down the middle footswitch while switching on the AMP1 Mercury Edition.
