QUICK START GUIDE to take some of the “honk” out of your humbucking pickups. Try it on your high gain settings to get some serious “metal-ish” chunk. 18) CHANNEL 1 GAIN: This controls the amount a “drive” in the preamp. Low settings of the GAIN knob (with higher settings of the VOLUME knob) will keep the sound big, full and beautiful. You can also use higher settings of the GAIN knob to push the channel into overdrive and get some really raucous rock & roll crunch tones.
