As loud as the drummers snare is if you're dealing with a small stage. If its a large stage the most important thing is balance. So if you're running a high gain amp.... balance yourself with the other musicians. if you're using Class A power.... you will need to turn your amp up to at least 4 or 5 to get anything decent out of it. So.... that means if its too loud you can always side wash the amp. Meaning turn it sideways so you can hear it but it doesnt interfere with the soundman. Or lean the amp back on a wood block so it points up.

Hope that helps

What should you do so that sound will come out of the amp and what should the volume be on the amp and guitar?

You need to plug the Amps power cord into the wall (or multi-box) and you will need to flick the power switch. The guitar lead will need to be plugged into the input (little round hole in front of guitar amp), and into the guitar. As to the volume, it is up to personal preference. If you want it loud, turn it up loud. I like to set my guitar volume to 8 or 9. and then change the amp volume until it is the right volume.
