If you choose another string set, or for some reason prefer to
change the string balance, please follow the instructions
below:
1 • Set the guitar Volume Knob
(12)
to maximum (fully
clockwise).
2 •
Set both treble and bass tone adjustment knobs
(13)
to
their center detents.
3 • Access the Piezo Trim Pots
(4)
from the back of the
guitar with the Back Plate
(2)
removed.
4 • Preset the piezo signal output levels by turning the six
Piezo Trim Pots
(4)
(small white pots) counter-
clockwise to the "quietest" position.
5 • Play the guitar amplified and compare the relative
loudness of each of the six strings. They should be
balanced (playing at the same loudness). If not, the
Piezo Trim Pots
(4)
must be adjusted.
Find the string with the strongest (loudest) signal and
set its Trim Pot
(4)
counter-clockwise to the "quietest"
position. Then boost the rest of the strings so they
match the output level of the strongest string.
Leave headroom when setting the Trim Pots
(4)
. This
pickup/pre-amp is powerful. The guitar can be setup hot,
making it easier for the amp to clip (see the clip light at
the top of the amp's control panel in front). It should
never be necessary to set any pot higher than 50%.

The battery has a useful life of approximately 100 hours. It’s
turned on when a cable is plugged into the guitar. To extend
the battery life, please remember to remove the plug when
you’re not playing your guitar.
