CONTROL
Controls:
1.
Volume Control:
The volume contro! acts as a master volume in
that it controls the total signal level to the output
jack. Rotating the control knob clockwise will
Increase
volume;
rotating
counterclockwise
will
reduce volume.
2.
Tone Control:
The
tone
control,
like
the
volume
control
operates as a master control. Rotating clockwi:
will result in more treble (high frequencies) and a
brighter tonality. Rotating counterclockwise will
result in less treble and a "bassier" type sound.
Output Jack:
The output jack is a conventional ⁄" phone jack
which accepts standard guitar patch cords.
Pickup Adjustment:
The 12 individual polepiece screws allow critical
pickup adjustment for each string. Raising or
lowering screws closest to the bridge will increase
or decrease treble sensitivity. Raising or lowering
screws closest
to the neck will increase or decrease
low end sensitivity and output. Raising or lowering
the entire pickup will increase or decrease overall
output and volume.
NOTE
CARE
MUST
BE TAKEN
TO MAINTAIN
ADEQUATE
CLEARANCE
BETWEEN THE
PICKUPS AND STRINGS. INADEQUATE
CLEARANCE WILL RESULT INLOSS OF SUSTAIN
AND
POSSIBLE
STRING
BUZZING
WHEN
PLAYING ON THE UPPER FRETS.
Adjustments:
Your instrument has been carefully adjusted for
accurate intonation and playing ease at the Peavey
factory. However, your playing style or playing
requirements
may
necessitate
additional
adjustments
at some
time in the future. These
adjustments
should
be
made
by your
Peavey
Dealer. However, with a little care and by adhering
closely to the following instructions, you may
attempt these adjustments yourself.
CAUTION
PLEASE
READ
AND
UNDERSTAND
IN-
STRUCTIONS
THOROUGHLY
BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
Adjusting Torsion Rod:
All guitar necks must have a slight amount of bow
to keep the strings from buzzing on the frets. To set
the "straightness" of the neck, a Peavey torsion rod
wrench No. 75031001 must be used (avilable from a
Peavey Accessory Center).
1. Tune the instrument
to standard
(A-440) pitch
2. Fret the sixth string (BIG E) at
the first and last frets.
3. Check for clearance between
the string and the eighth fret.
4. Clearance should be no less
than .012" and no more than .025".
5. To increase clearance, loosen
(counterclockwise) the torsion rod
nut. Less clearance (straightening
of the neck) is accomplished by}
Torsion
tightening the nut.
Rod Nut
CAUTION
IT IS NOT USUALLY
NECES-
SARY TO ROTATE
THE
TORSION ROD NUT MORE
THAN ONE FULL TURN IN
EITHER DIRECTION.
ONE-
QUARTER TO ONE-HALF
TURN IS NORMALLY SUF-
FICIENT TO MAKE MOST
ADJUSTMENTS. EXCESSIVE
ROTATION
MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE
TO NECK AND
TORSION ROD. IF EXCESSIVE
FORCE IS NECESSARY TO
ROTATE TORSION ROD NUT,
YOU SHOULD
CONSULT
YOUR PEAVEY DEALER OR
THE FACTORY BEFORE ANY
FURTHER ADJUSTMENT IS
MADE.
6.
Repeat steps 1 through 5 until
proper clearance has been reached.
Neck Tilt:
The neck tilt adjustment works in
conjunction with the bridge height
adjustment to set the overall string
playing height.
This adjustment
should be used whenever possible
to set string height rather than the
bridge height adjustment.
1. Relieve string tension slightly by
detuning guitar (approximately 1 to
2 full steps).
2.
Loosen
two
neck
screws
(closest
to headstock
of guitar)
approximately 1 turn.
3. Loosen
remaining
two neck
screws
(closest
to bridge)
approximately 2 turns.
4. String height
may
now
be
adjusted
with the neck
tilt screw
which is located inside the fifth hole
in the neck plate. A %" allen wrench
is used to make this adjustment.
Turning the screw clockwise lowers
the strings closer to the fingerboard.
