The GUITAR socket is the 1/4" connector for your guitar. Please use a standard 1/4" TS connector.

The PHONES connector allows you to monitor the audio signal with standard headphones (e.g. BEHRINGER HP Series). This connector can also be used as a stereo line output.

Plugging in the headphones automatically mutes the power amp signal. So, before pulling the headphones connector from the socket, please turn the MASTER control fully left.

The FOOTSWITCH jack is used to connect an FS112 footswitch for preset selection (UP/DOWN).
