You can also plug in headphones for quiet practice.
When it comes to using the features, use the Mix Assist function to improve the quality of your recordings. The Air Feel feature can be adjusted with the 'Air Feel Level' knob to get that authentic 'amp - in - room' sound. You can select different cabinet emulations and mic types to customize your sound.
