Understanding the Tone Cut Control
The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage tsa amplifier. Unlike typical tone controls that boost or cut specific frequencies, the Tone Cut knob reduces the high-end frequencies as it is increased. This allows for fine-tuning the overall brightness and presence of your sound.
