13. Test the headphone output by turning the Volume
control to its minimum (fully counterclockwise) position
and then connect a standard stereo headphone to the
front panel Phones jack. While playing your guitar, slowly
turn the Volume control up—you should hear sound
from the headphones and none from the connected
speaker.
WARNING: Because even the smallest G Series ampli-
fier is capable of generating extremely high head-
phone signal levels, always start with the Volume
knob at minimum and then slowly turn it up. In
particular, a clicking sound is an indication of distor-
tion and possible damage to the headphones (and/or
your hearing!); don’t let things get to that point!
