Clean Rhythm or Country Guitar - these settings are the basic clean sounds and for general rhythm guitar, country lead guitar, funky/chunky rhythm sounds. Usually, country guitar is a brighter, more trebly edged sound. The bottom end depends on what type of guitar you are using.

Rhythm guitar is mostly a clean full type of sound. A little less treble than the country sound and a bit more midrange.

Blues Lead or Mellow Crunch - this setting is particularly useful in blues or softer rock songs. It is good for leads as well as rhythm parts. It is good for power chords in back of leads.You need to switch to the lead channel to make these settings work. Blues, depending on the guitar you use, usually adds treble with a bit more midrange and a “fat” bottom end. Not as much gain as full out crunch, adjust the gain control to the amount of distortion you desire.

Alternative/Harder Edged Rock - this setting will deliver more of a cutting tone. Whether used for rhythm or lead sounds, it will “cut” through the drums and get you heard. If you need more “grundge”, increase the gain control for more distortion. This style of music requires a slightly thinner, harder edged tone full of midrange.

Heavy Metal/Maximum Crunch - this setting is a good starting point for the “notched out middle” sounds associated with metal and heavy alternative sounds. Adjust the treble and low end to taste. Usually for a rhythm tone, you want to have more lower end and less for leads. Distortion is an integral part of this style of music and this amp delivers it quite well.
