INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS − page 3
instrument and install the external hex nut hand tight.
Insert the included 3⁄32 - inch Allen wrench through the cross hole in the jack and hold firmly
while tightening the nut with a wrench. To avoid damage, do not hold the preamp itself
while tightening the nut. Use of a proper wrench instead of pliers will help prevent damage
to the guitar. To avoid cracking the guitar finish, do not over-tighten the nut.

Finish by installing the strap nut hand tight. It should cover the retaining nut and washer. For
best results, the end of the jack should be recessed ever so slightly from the end of the strap
nut.
Once the preamp is installed, install two of the self-adhesive cable retainer clips on the inner
back surface of the guitar to hold down the pickup cable and prevent it from vibrating
against the guitar.
BATTERY POUCH INSTALLATION
The battery pouch will be installed on the flat surface of the neck block or the side of the
guitar adjacent to the neck block as shown in
[FIG. 8]
. Clean the area where you will mount
the pouch using the included alcohol wipe or a cotton swab moistened with rubbing
alcohol. Let dry. Separate the battery pouch from the Velcro patch. Peel off the paper liner
from the Velcro patch and attach the patch to the chosen location. To set the adhesive,
press firmly on the entire area of the patch with your fingertip, especially around the edges.
Attach the battery clip to a 9V alkaline or lithium battery, install the battery into the pouch,
and re-attach it to the Velcro patch. Install one of the self-adhesive cable retainer clips on the
inner back surface of the guitar to hold down the battery cable and prevent it from vibrating
against the guitar.

after the initial installation.
VOLUME CONTROL INSTALLATION
Find a flat area on the underside of the soundhole where the volume control will fit. Clean the
area where you will mount the volume control using the included alcohol wipe or a cotton
swab moistened with rubbing alcohol. Let dry. Install the volume control by peeling off the
paper liner on the smooth side of the circuit board and pressing it firmly inside the soundhole
as shown in
[FIG. 9]
. The volume control should protrude from the sound hole just far enough
to be easily adjusted, as shown. Install one of the self-adhesive cable retainer clips on the
inner back surface of the guitar to hold down the volume control cable and prevent it from
vibrating against the guitar.
You can expect about 600 hours of playing and standby time from a fresh alkaline battery,
or as much as 1000 hours from a lithium battery. To extend battery life, unplug the guitar
cable from your guitar when you’re finished playing. Remember, the preamp continues to
operate and uses battery power whenever a guitar cable is plugged into your guitar, even if
you turn down the soundhole volume control, unplug the cable from your amp or put your
guitar amp on standby. A weak or distorted sound from The Angel™ PZ means it’s time to
replace your battery.
