*1 If you want to avoid distortion, select the NORMAL channel, raise the VOLUME,
and lower the GAIN to adjust the volume. The output of an electric guitar will
vary depending on the pickups and also depending on your playing, so adjust
the GAIN control and VOLUME control as appropriate for the sound you want to
obtain from the amp. For example you've selected a humbucking pickup on your
guitar (particular at the neck position), you'll obtain distortion even if the GAIN
control is at 9 o'clock.
*2 If you want to obtain the best possible S/N ratio, turn down GAIN to a point
