Using your Fender '57 Custom Deluxe Guitar Tube Combo Amplifier is easy. First, make sure it's plugged into a 230V power source. Connect your guitar to one of the INST inputs or your microphone to the MIC inputs. Adjust the Mic Volume, Instrument Volume, and Tone controls to get the sound you want. For different tones, switch between the two channels. When you're done, turn off the amplifier and unplug it from the power source. Keep the amplifier in a dry and cool place to avoid damage. The protective cover included can help keep dust off. If you notice any issues with the sound or the amplifier itself, it's best to have it checked by a professional. Also, be careful when moving it as it weighs 26 lbs / 11.8 kg. And remember, don't touch the tubes when the amplifier is on or just after it's been turned off as they can be very hot.
