PEDAL: If you choose the “PEDAL” mode, your setting is designed to use TRIPLE DECKER at the input of an amplifier head where the “Clean” channel must be played by the amp. In this way the Ch1 becomes Bypass. The Ch1 Volume control will be at 0db when the knob indicator indicates 12 o’clock. The Ch1/Ch2 tone control is excluded with the knob indices 12 o’clock.
In Pedal mode, the Recording Out will automatically create the “Clean” channel in order to ensure complete and correct sounds to be sent to a recording unit, mixer or external device. Like all overdrive pedals designed to be connected to the input of an amplifier head, the output level is moderate.

PREAMPLIFIER: If you choose this configuration it’s because you want to connect TRIPLE DECKER as a real preamp and so you can connect it directly to power amplifiers or on the “return” of amp heads. The Ch1 will become your Clean channel and the channel volumes will be able to drive even big final amplifiers because over 2Vpp of signal can be reached on the output.
In Preamplifier mode, the Recording Out will using your “Clean” channel setting in order to guarantee your custom sounds.

ATTENTION! If we connect the TRIPLE DECKER with pedal mode and press the “Preamp” button it will be normal to have a large increase in the output signal. This will certainly involve using the three channels and not 2Ch + bypass but…pay attention to the volume level of your amp.
