Settings on 1970 Evans FET-500 Custom?

Post by Riggs Horton »

I just got this for my first Steel amp, it sounds so wonderful, but I was curious about a few of the settings. The first was the three way switch next in between the Bite and Reverb settings, and the other is the sensitivity control in the back, I am currently not certain what either of those do. I also wondered what the bite and expanded Switch do. Thank you for your help!

EvansAmps is still in business. You might reach out to them to see if they have a manual available.

Their current amps have a 3 way switch for the reverb that selects Reverb Only, Reverb+Flanger, or Reverb+Chorus.
