Samson G10 User Manual

1.  Remove all packing materials (save them in case of 

need for future service) and decide where the amplifier 

is to be physically placed. To avoid potential overheating 

problems, make sure that the rear panel is unobstructed 

and that there is good ventilation around the entire unit.

2.  Before you plug-in the power cable, be sure the 

POWER switch is in the off (down) position. Then, plug-in 

the 3-pin AC plug into any grounded AC socket.  Don’t 

turn the G Series on just yet, though.

3. Use a standard shielded musical instrument cable to 

connect your guitar to the INPUT jack on the front panel.

4.  On the front panel of the G10, turn the CRUNCH and 

VOLUME controls to their minimum (fully counterclock-

wise) position. Set the BASS andTREBLE controls to their 

“0” position.

5. Let's start with a clean sound, so press the front panel 

CRUNCH SWITCH to the out position 

6.  Press the front panel Power switch in order to turn on 

your G Series amp; the switch will light up and you will 

see the power LED illuminate.

7.  Set the output of your guitar to maximum and then, 

while playing, slowly turn the VOLUME control up until 

the desired level is achieved.  You will get a nice clean 

tone when using just VOLUME (no CRUNCH) for level, 

so set it to the level you like.  Eventually, the amp will 

clip on its own and you will hear distorion even with the 

CRUNCH off. Try using a little amplifier clipping with a 

little distortion for a gtreat blues tone.
