Getting distortion out of your amp
Turn guitar up all the way
Push the drive, overdrive, lead, or distortion button in if you have one
Turn pre knob (if you have one) up all the way
Turn post knob down all the way.
Slowly turn post up until you get the volume you want or at least the volume that will be tolerated by anyone near you
Turn gain/drive/distortion/crunch knob up all the way if you have one
If you don’t have any of these controls then your only choice may be to turn your amp up very loud until it distorts.
Another option is to use a distortion pedal. Here are some that I use:
Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer Effects Pedal
Line 6 POD 2.0 Guitar Multi Effects Processor
Dunlop Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face Pedal
