This amp also features a foot controlled preset gain boost, has both a presence and thrust control which alter the damping and voicing of the high and low end of the power amp section respectively. Channel-2 features a higher 900-style gain structure with a more strident clipping structure for “modern rock and metal tones”. The two channels each feature a distinct voicing: Channel-1 is a traditional classic English 800- style EQ with tons of gain on tap, cleans up easily from the guitar, and works equally well for chunky rhythm or “brown sound” lead tones. is based on the ODS®/Casino sized chassis platform, has two channels with a shared Bass, Middle, Treble tone stack, a passive effects loop, and 4-8-16 ohm outputs and will include a 2-way foot switch for channel switching and gain boost. The Mantis series tips it’s hat and shows it’s lineage to the English tones rock players love. The Mantis 89 series of amps answers the demand for a heavier sounding amp in the Fuchs line-up.
