The three-way bright switch provides a standard bright setting (middle) and a custom bright based on the touring circuit found in Jimi Hendrix’s amp.
A high-mid boost switch emphasizes very desirable midrange frequencies that are ideal for fat, singing guitar solos.
The Treble and Bass channels are internally linked so users can blend and balance each channel just by adjusting the volume controls.
The amp features no effects loop, but thanks to its voicing and low-noise circuit it delivers excellent performance with pedals.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
The HDRX 50 truly delivers some of the most desirable amplifier tones while offering guitarists an even wider tonal palette than the original classic model that it is based upon Player Port to satisfy a wide variety of players.
