Here are some of the common knobs and buttons found on most guitars. See what these knobs and buttons do on your guitar / amp.
Knobs On the Guitar
Volume: Raises/lowers the volume
Tone: Raises/lowers the treble. Most keep it turned up all the way.
You will also find a switch called the pickup selector. These are rectangular shaped things with dots on them, located underneath the strings on the body.
When the switch is turned toward the neck, then the neck pickup is selected(usually has a mellower tone). When it is facing toward the back of the guitar, then the bridge pickup is selected. Then one of the tone knobs adjusts the tone for one of the pickups and the other one adjusts it for the other.
Knobs On the Amp
On the amplifier, you will usually find knobs for Normal Volume, Gain, Drive Select, Drive Volume, Treble, Middle and Bass.
Gain: The amount of overdrive/distortion
Drive Select: Turns on the gain/overdrive/distortion
Drive Volume: Along with the normal volume control, it controls the loudness.
