Using your Fender '57 Custom Champ amp is easy. First, plug it into a 120V power source. You can connect your guitar or other instruments to the dual ¼” inputs. The volume control is simple to use - just turn the knob to adjust the sound level. When it comes to getting different tones, try changing your guitar's volume and how you pick the strings. For a clean sound, keep your guitar's volume low and pick gently. To get that overdriven tone, turn up your guitar's volume and pick harder. Remember, this amp is hand - wired, so handle it with care. Avoid moving it around too much when it's on. When not in use, put on the protective cover to keep it safe from dust. Every once in a while, check the tubes to make sure they're in good condition. If you notice any strange sounds or problems, it's best to take it to a professional for a check - up.
