OPERATING GUIDE
CONTROL OPERATION
1. Bypass Switch. The Bypass Switch is a two-position
mini-toggle located on the face of the instrument. its
purpose is to allow the player to convienently switch
to the passive mode in the event of battery mal-
function or failure. The up position of the switch is
passive and bypasses the internal preamp. This
allows normal (passive) operation of the TL-Five. In
the passive mode, the Volume and Blend controls are
operational and the High Control is converted
to a standard high rolloif tone control. NOTE: If the
Bypass Switch is operated when signal is present, an
audible "pop" may occur. This is due to the rapid
change in signal level sent to the input of the bass
guitar amplifier. The down position is active and
engages the TL-Five preamp with its active tone
controls.
2. Blend Control. The Blend Control is offered for a
wider variety of sounds than available from con-
ventional pickup selector switches. It may be varied
from the neck pickup (full clockwise - CW) to the
center detent (both pickups) to the bridge pickup (full
counterclockwise - CCW) or any biend in between,
Due to the nature of this control, neither pickup is
turned fully off.

output in the CW position and no output in the CCW
position.
