Guitars & basses |
|
Use
it on instruments with active or passive pickup systems. You can
also connect it between guitar and effects pedals. High gain
settings give exceptionally warm valve colouration. Use both Cooker
channels to provide a balanced split to two amps.

|
Electronic keyboards |
|
Treat in the same
way as electric guitar signals. High gain settings will introduce
significant colouration. If the source signal is relatively strong,
you can produce a classic 'rock organ' sound. More subtle setting of
the Gain control will affect mainly high frequency sounds, enhancing
both transient detail and presence.

|
Consoles |
|
The Gas Cooker
will subtly enhance any signal when connected to the console's
insert points. The best results are usually achieved by setting the
Cooker to unity gain. If this produces too high a level of
colouration, switching in the pad and taking the signal from the
unbalanced output will compensate for lost gain.

|
Mixing |
|
To enhance the
complete mix, connect both channels of the unit via the console's
master stereo insert points. For a more pronounced effect, use
higher gain. High levels of colouration work best on individual
instrumental sounds.
|
|
Microphones |
|
To re-create that
classic 'valve mic' sound, connect one channel of the Gas Cooker to
the insert point of a mic channel using, the unbalanced jack output.
For subtle coloration,set the Pad switch to on and adjust the gain
control to provide approximately unity gain. Higher degrees of
coloration can be achieved on higher gain settings or by switching
off the Pad.
