I'm not familiar with the Big Cheese. What are the modes?
There were big in the '90s. All the grunge bands used them. Shit tones of others too. Mode is a rotary switch that selects between four different tone modes: Off (tone bypass), S (scooped mids), F (flat mids), and Chaos mode which biases the transistor into instability. Theres a trim pot in the box that sets the bias.
