PLUGGING AND PLAYING
Cords (stereo / mono)
Fly models, Nylon Fly and Bronze Fly, are active guitars with mono output. Just
plug in a standard cord and play. Remember, your Fly is equipped with a
battery, so be sure to unplug the cord from the guitar when not in use to
prolong battery life. The Fly Standard model (non-piezo) is passive with
mono output. No battery is required.
Fly models, Deluxe, Classic, Hardtail, Artist, Supreme, Jazz, Single
Two, and Mojo, have active piezo and magnetic pickups, which are
designed to work with either the stereo guitar cord shipped with the guitar
or a standard guitar cord (mono). The onboard smart-jack circuit can tell
the difference and automatically mixes the signal according to the type of
cord that is plugged into the guitar. This allows you to route the pickups
two different ways.
With a standard guitar cord in use, a mixed piezo and magnetic mono
signal is carried to one amplifier.
With the stereo cord in use, the guitar output is split into stereo with the
piezo signal going to one amplifier and the magnetic signal going to
another amplifier. The stereo cord that is provided with the guitar allows
you to send the signals to two different amplifiers.
To get the most acoustic sound from the piezo pickups, use a hi-fidelity
system, such as a PA, acoustic guitar amp, keyboard amp, or home stereo.
