your guitar pick-up does not use a battery.
3. GAIN (Channel 1) - Control knob is used to control the overall level of the Channel 1 input.
4. BASS - Controls the amount of bass, or low frequency, applied to the input connected to
channel 1.
5. PHASE - Used to reverse the input signal polarity.
6. TREBLE - Controls the amount of treble, or high frequency, applied to the input connected
to channel 1.
7. EFX (Channel 1) - Used to add effects to the signal connected to the Channel 1 input.

13. DEPTH (Notch Filter) - Control Knob used to control the amount of attenuation applied by

14. GRAPHIC EQUALIZER – These sliders allow you to "draw" the tonal response of the system
by adding 12 dB of boost or attenuation to seven different narrow-band frequency areas
(100Hz, 315Hz, 1kHz, 3.5kHz and 10kHz.) affecting the main output signal of the AC75 or
AC150. When a slider is at its center detented ("0") position, the selected frequency area is
unaffected (it is said to be flat). When a slider is moved up (above the "0" position, towards
the "+12" position), the selected frequency area is boosted, and when it is moved down
(below the "0" position, towards the "-12" position), the selected frequency area is attenuated.
For more information, see the "About Equalization" section on pages 13 - 14 of this manual.
15. EFX LEVEL – Control knob used to set the amount of digital effect that's mixed in with the
channel input signals.
