theysimply press the appropriate channel
button (the one labeled E. GTR) and turn
the Volume control to lower the guitar
level in their mix. They can also adjust
Pan (left to right mix), EQ (Bass, Mid with
sweepable Freq control and Treble),
andmuch more. All of these adjustments
can be made without aecting anyone
else’s personal mix.
