Though this amplifier is relatively easy to handle and you're probably raring to give it a
go, I recommend that you read the owner's manual thoroughly before you power it
up. It is equipped with several safety features that require further explanation to
prevent malfunctions.

¼" unbalanced input jack. Plug your guitar in here using a shielded cord.
Depending on the type of cord and its shielding, you may occasionally encounter
interference from sources such as radio stations or powerful magnetic fields. When
this occurs, try connecting your guitar to the amp using different cords. What's more,
to minimize signal degradation due to high-frequency loss, use the shortest cords
feasible (as a rule, the shorter the cord, the less susceptible it is to high-frequency
attenuation).
The Channel 1 Gain control knob determines the preamp's input sensitivity and
amplitude when Channel 1 is active.
Here's how this knob's settings relate to the type of guitar pickup. If you are using
single-coils, the preamp will start breaking up at about 6, and at around 4 or 5 with
more powerful humbuckers or an active pickup.
If you want a pristine clean sound, back off the Channel 1 Gain knob setting and switch
off Gain Boost (14).
