Front Panel Controls (cont'd)
Pickup EQ: Low, Mid, High
As a default, the low, mid, and high tone controls affect the sound of
the pickup signal only, allowing you to further refi ne the sound of your
instrument without excessive alterations to the chosen Image.
A Global EQ mode may also be selected, applying the same EQ settings
to both the pickup and Image path simultaneously.
Compressor
The compressor control adjusts several
settings within a sophisticated automatic
leveling circuit.
As you turn this knob clockwise, your overall
playing dynamics become increasingly lim-
ited, making softer notes louder and con-
trolling loud spikes in your playing. This can be helpful in performances
where you desire a more even level to your playing. At its maximum
setting, there may be some overall increase in the output level.

Global vs. Pickup EQ
When shipped from our factory, the low, mid, and high tone controls
are set to affect the sound of the pickup signal only. This is referred to
as Pickup EQ mode. However, a Global EQ mode may also be selected
which applies the same EQ settings to both the pickup and Image signals
simultaneously (or "globally").
When you power on Aura Spectrum, watch the tuner display for a "P" or
a "G" indicating the currently selected mode.
To select Global EQ mode:
1. Hold the tuner button while Powering on.
2. The display fl ashes a "P" indicating that the unit is currently in
Pickup EQ mode.
3. Press the anti-feedback button once and the display now
fl ashes a "G" indicating Global EQ mode is now selected.
4. Press the tuner button to select Global EQ and resume
powering on to normal playing mode.
