The 'sounds' jack is the main audio output and the volume is set with the 'sounds' knob, due to the fact that different strings will have a different output levels, the gain offered will make the sound distort if turned up too high at times. Care should be taken to find a good balance in between noise floor and the possibility of the sound distorting. �
