Why is my guitar amplifier not working?
Check if the amp or PA you are plugged into is turned on. If using a mixer, make sure it's not muted and that all cords are plugged in all the way. ... Always make sure your amp is working and the cables are in good working condition. If possible, plug in another guitar to the same line to see if it works.
What does gain do on a guitar amp?
