Heads up: The amp assigns the selected Cab Type emulation to the Red
Box and Phones outputs. It does not assign the emulation to the Speaker
Out when a conventional cab is connected to it, the logic being that you
don't want a cabinet emulation when you're driving real speaker cabinets.
A cabinet emulation will work with the Speaker Out if you opt to connect
fullrange cabinets. See section 4.1 for more on this.

Power button: Press and hold this button for two seconds to power up
the amp. Press and hold it for three seconds to switch the amp off.
Note: In case of a power failure the amp will power up automatically again

Master: As the name suggests, this knob puts the power amp and its
volume level at your thumb and forefinger's command. Handle it carefully
and you will enjoy a gratifying rather than an agonizing aural experience.
Master also adjusts the volume for the Phones output. Browse on down to
paragraph 24 of this section to learn more.
Heads up: Unlike with Hughes & Kettner tube amplifiers, the level of
Black Spirit 200 Floor's Red Box out is not affected by the setting of the
Master control (see 4.1 Red Box AE+).
Another heads up: The Master knob is not programmable like channel
and effect controls. It works as any conventional knob would, and its

physical position indicates the actual setting. It's always a good idea to
back the Master knob off by twisting it to the far left position before
powering the amp up.

Resonance: Set the Resonance knob to 12 o'clock, and you will hear
the normal resonance created by the amp-and-cabinet combination.
Twisting it counterclockwise dampens the speakers' and the cabinet's
resonance for a looser, softer sound that sweetens up your clean tone.
Turning the knob clockwise intensifies resonance for a tighter, punchier
low end that works well with distorted sounds.
●
22
Presence: This knob controls the amount of harmonic overtones
generated by the amp – the higher the setting, the more intense the effect.
Heads up: You can save your Resonance and Presence settings in any
preset or use these them globally, as you would the Master volume knob,
so they remain in force when switching presets. Read section 7.2 if you
wish to use Resonance and Presence globally.
●
23
Sagging: This knob, alongside Gain and Boost, is the most powerful
tool in your kit for dialing in fresh and inspiring tone. It affords you total
control over the power amp's saturation levels and response at any
volume. Nudge it to dial in just the right amount of cream or sweep it
through the control range to tap into decades of great tone. You have
eight positions to choose from – the higher you go, the greater the sag and
the more saturated the power amp.

24
Phones/Line: Connect standard headphones equipped with a 6.3
mm (1/4") jack plug to this output. You can also use it feed a line signal to
any stereo multimedia device, including hi-fi systems. Your dealer should
stock the right adapters or cables. For example, you need a cable with
a stereo TRS jack at one end to connect it to the Phones output of your
Black Spirit 200 Floor, and two RCA or cinch connectors on the other
end to plug into a typical home stereo system's left and right aux inputs
system. You can also connect this output to any mixing desk using a cord
