I'm thinking of buying a Fender guitar amplifier, but I'd like to learn more about its features and settings before I purchase it. The store staff gave me a brief overview, but I still have questions.

Would reading the manual online before buying help me understand how it works better? Specifically, does it explain the difference between channels, how to properly adjust the sound for different genres, and other things I should check before buying? I just don't want to buy something "blindly" and then have to figure everything out later.

How long have you been playing? I was into guitars when I was a younger, too. When I was picking my first amp, at first I just went by how it sounded in the store, but a lot of nuances came up once I got home. I started reading manuals and realized there were a lot of things I didn’t know, like how to properly set the gain and EQ so the sound wouldn't be a "mess." Back then, I looked at the manual they gave me. Now, I check them out on https://manualmachine.com . This site has often come in handy for me as an adult when I need to fix something, and I think you can find the manual you need there. There's a lot of interesting there. For example, some models have additional modes, such as "bright" or "reverb," which the store might not show you. So I'd recommend checking the manual beforehand-it helps you make a more informed choice.
