  • Canal normal:
    • Volum: Controls the overall output level of the Normal channel.
  • Top Boost Channel:
    • Volum: Controls the overall output level of the Top Boost channel.
    • Aguts: Adjusts the high-frequency response of the Top Boost channel.
    • Baix: Adjusts the low-frequency response of the Top Boost channel.
  • Reverb:
    • Nivell: Controls the amount of reverb effect.
    • To: Adjusts the brightness or darkness of the reverb tail.
