5. Verify the values at the measurement points shown in the Circuit

Diagram (Main Board: Analog) (p. 28).
The allowed range for measured values is ±1.5 dBu.

5. Volume Test (2)

1. Reset the power and start the unit in the normal usage state.

2. Input a signal to GUITAR CHANNEL INPUT, turn the GUITAR

CHANNEL VOLUME control, and verify that the volume level changes
normally and that no noise occurs.

3. Carry out verification in the same way for MIC/LINE CHANNEL as well.
