  • Page 12: Control Set

    Control set Phase switch Use the phase switch to improve bass response at low volume or to control feedback at high volume. Play your guitar and toggle the phase switch back and forth until you achieve the desired result. Volume For the cleanest signal, set the volume as high as possible without clipping the next device in the signal chain.
  • Page 13 Select The 16 Images you can choose with the select knob are hand picked for your type of guitar. Try all 16 and pick the ones that compliment your playing style and sound good in the room. For example, dark/deep sounding Images may add impact to a solo performance.
  • Page 14 Blend (continued) Suggestions • To fi nd a good mix of Image and pickup, turn the blend knob to about 8 o’clock, then step on the footswitch. Compare the Image/ pickup mix to the dry pickup signal. Slowly move blend clockwise and then switch between the two until you are happy with the Image/pickup blend.
  • Page 15 Footswitch Step on the footswitch to bypass the Aura effect. When you stomp, you’ll hear the dramatic difference between the Image blend and the dry pickup. When the light above the footswitch is on, the Image is active. Note when the effect is bypassed, your guitar signal remains buffered.
  • Page 16 Imaging Pedal powers up. To conserve the battery, remove the plug from the input when not in use. For AC power, use the Fishman 910-R ( for 110V ) or other suitable 9V adapter. The adapter must be fi ltered, regulated and rated for at least 200mA. It should also accept AC power appropriate for your country.
