(1) Use the INST(RUMENT) INPUT connector to hook up your guitar.
Use a standard ¼" TS cable.
(2) The DRIVE control regulates how much distortion you produce
(depending on what amp, mode and speaker combination you select).
The DRIVE control works in unison with the MASTER control. To some extent,
the DRIVE control also affects the volume. To achieve the same volume
level, turning DRIVE down means you have to somewhat increase MASTER.
The more you crank up DRIVE, the louder it will get, so that you can finally
adjust the volume using MASTER. This way, you can greatly vary your sound
and still be in charge of volume.
For guitar pros: You can use the volume control of your guitar as a creative
tool as well. The more you turn it up, the more distortion you end up with!
(3) The AMP switch lets you decide which one of the three classically inspired
guitar amp sounds you wish to recreate.
TWEED: Offers the legendary American clean sound, with dynamic bass and
clear transparence.

BRITISH: "Aggressive" in the mids, tough and full of punch, that's how you
can describe this setting. You get the classic rock sound of the most famous
British amps.
CALIF(ORNIAN): Lead and hot rhythms sounds are what you get with this
setting. This is the amp for that typical Nu Metal Californian sound.
and HOT) for the basic sound you selected with the AMP switch.
The following description gives you some rough idea about the
many possibilities.
Experiment with DRIVE to come up with exactly the sound you are
looking for!
CLEAN: as the name says, clean sound, without distortion.
HI GAIN: ranges from "crunchy" to strongly distorted sounds.
HOT: heavily distorted sound with endless sustain and an extra dollop
of presence.
