You can also connect external audio sources through the stereo Aux - In for jamming along. For each channel, you can adjust the Gain, Tone, Resonance, Presence, Sagging, and Volume controls to get your desired sound. Use the pre - gain Boost to add some extra oomph to your tone. The built - in footswitches are handy for quickly changing channels, activating the Boost, FX Loop, and Solo function.
