using the [TRIM] control of the [INPUT A]

indicator does not light.

raises the headphone monitor level.
The screen shows the input level of track 1, as
well as the stereo L and R output levels.

so that the PEAK indicator does not light at
the loudest part of the guitar sound. If the
input level is too high, the PEAK indicator
lights and the sound may be distorted or
noisy.
