4.1. Controls Overview

• BT./AUX VOL: Controls the volume of Bluetooth and AUX input audio.
• GAIN: Adjusts the input sensitivity and amount of overdrive/distortion.
• TONE: Adjusts the tonal characteristics (brightness/darkness) of your guitar sound.
• VOL: Controls the overall output volume of the guitar. Also acts as the power ON/OFF switch.

4.2. Clean and Overdrive Channels

The GA-06 offers two distinct sound channels:

• Clean Channel: Provides a clear and sweet sound, faithfully reproducing your guitar's natural tone.
• Overdrive Channel: Delivers a warm, distorted tone suitable for rock and other genres requiring more grit.

Switch between 'CLEAN' (green LED) and 'DRIVE' (red LED) modes using the dedicated button next to the 'INPUT' jack.

4.3. Silent Practice with Headphones

For private practice, plug your headphones (3.5mm jack) into the headphone output port on the rear of the amplifier. This mutes the main speaker, allowing you to practice without disturbing others.

Utilize the Bluetooth or AUX input to play backing tracks from your device. Adjust the 'BT./AUX VOL' knob for the backing track volume and the 'VOL' knob for your guitar volume to achieve a balanced mix.
