Controls
Volume • For the cleanest noise-free sound, set the volume as high as possible
without causing your amp or mixer to distort.
Tone • This innovative one-knob tone control lets you adjust between the
natural undersaddle sound with no EQ (flat) and a variable “Scooped” tone with
emphasized bass & treble and reduced midrange.
• To make individual notes sound thicker and punchier, roll the Tone
control to the right.
• Try the Tone control in the middle position for fingerpicking, when you
need just a bit of midrange cut.
• Roll the Tone control all the way to the left for a neutral, unaltered
tone.

Additional Controls
Tuner Activation Button / Mute
The tuner module is mounted inside the
soundhole on the pickguard side opposite
from the volume and tone module. This
Chromatic tuner accommodates all standard
and alternate tunings and mutes the output
when engaged to allow you to tune the guitar
silently. It is calibrated to A = 440 Hz and can
be activated without an instrument cable
connected. To conserve battery life, the tuner
will turn itself off after 90 seconds of inactivity.
To activate the tuner, press the rectangular
button at the top of the tuner display. To de-
activate the tuner and resume output signal
to your amp or PA, press the button a second
time.

Additional Controls
Phase Switch
This switch, located on the underside of the control module, can reverse the
phase 180 degrees. Use the phase switch to improve bass response at low
volume and suppress feedback at high volume.
Battery Replacement
A low battery LED is built into the preamp housing mounted inside the guitar
and is visible when viewed through the soundhole. When the Battery LED lights
steadily, it is time to change the battery. To replace the battery, remove the old
battery from the endblock battery box and replace with a 9-volt Alkaline or
Lithium battery
