The presence control has been eliminated and a contour control has been added. At the twelve o'clock position, the amp's frequency response is flat. Rotating the knob counter-clockwise, will decrease the highs and increase the lows, and vice-versa for clockwise movement. This is ideal for switching between single coils and humbuckers without touching other controls or compensating for different speaker cabinets. It's also a great way to compensate for room acoustics without changing your entire preamp EQ.

The Classic features Preamp Out and Power Amp In jacks, and does not have an internal buffered loop. Additional tone shaping features include a footswitchable FET preamp stage, 3 way preamp (negative) feedback switch, and 3 way output section (negative) feedback switch. The preamp switch offers zero feedback, CR feedback level, and ultra hi feedback levels for high output or active pickup optimization. In addition, the output stage can be tailored via a 3 way feedback switch to make the power stage tighter, looser, or more open and responsive.
