To help you get acquainted with the amp's fundamental sounds, I recommend that
you set all tone controls to the center or 12 o'clock position. For higher-gain sounds in
your best bet is to turn the Treble knob down to prevent the pickups and
speakers from generating feedback (a setting in the 10-to-2 o'clock range is
recommended).

Like Channel 4, Channel 3's gainstructures range from to extreme, making it
a great choice of channel for fat, creamy lead sound with plenty of sustain. The High
Gain (19) and Sound (1) functions let you tune Channel 3's fundamental tone to suit
different playing techniques. This channel has plenty of headroom, so I recommend
setting the Gain knob to somewhere between 8 and 1 o'clock. This will let you dial in
impressive sounds with preamp saturation figuring prominently in the tone. The High
Gain function comes in especially handy in conjunction with Gain settings below 12
o'clockbecauseyoucanuseittoshapeandaccesstwodistinctlydifferenttones.
Extremely high gain and volume levels in Channel 3 can produce powerful
feedback. Avoid feedback squeals; they can lead to hearing loss and damage
speakers! At higher volumes, back off the Gain, Treble and Presence levels in order to
preventuncheckedfeedback!
