A. For a "Real" Instrumet track (Audio), not a guitar Track, open Track "i"nfo for the track in which you are recording and turn the "Monitor" on. This is not needed for "Software" tracks (MIDI) as sound is always passed through to the monitors. GB5's Guitar Tracks work differently.

If you're using a "Guitar Track"...

in GB5 (09) click on the amp, click the Edit button towards the Top Right, and turn the monitor popUp menu on.
