The controls on the front side of the preamp:

TUNER

To use the automatic chromatic tuner, push the TUNER button. Pluck the string and the display will show which note is played. If you pluck E6 you
should tune it so that the display show E. Left side LED will indicate if to high (HI), to low (LOW) or in tune. When it is correctly tuned it must show E
and the green LED must be on. The b/# LED indicates a halftone: e.g. F# or C#. When you tune the instrument, the sound is automatically muted.
When finished tuning, press the TUNER button again to switch tuner off. The sound will return.

VOLUME

This control adjusts the overall volume.

Upper B/T control

To control the tone for the upper bass strings: [E-A-D]. It works like a bass/treble rocker:
Middle position: Flat sound
If you turn the pot away from the center positions either bass or
treble increases. See Fig. 8
If bass is increasing (A) the treble will stay flat!
Same if you increase treble (B): Bass will stay flat

Lower B/T control

Same function as upper B/T control but controls the sound for the lower treble strings [G-B-E]:
This is the perfect solution to control the sound for individual picking or strumming styles. You can add more treble to the bass strings to make it
sound more clearly and you can add more warmth to the treble strings by adding bass when turn the control to the left side

PHASE

Pressing the PHASE switch turns the signal phase by 180° which can be helpful defeating feedback on higher sound volumes.

PAN (Panorama Control)

For this unique sound, simply connect your guitar by way of a standard stereo
Y-cable to the mixing board.
Adjust the panorama of your mixer to the left and right.
Turning the PAN control clockwise separates the strings of your instrument
step more. This brings about a tonal depth that up until now did not exist.
Fig. 9 shows the amount of the left and right signal controlled by the PAN control

Exchange Battery

Push the battery compartment cover to the right and cover will pop up. Insert the
batteries so that the positive pole of the battery near to the hinge is up and the next
battery show negative pole up. See Fig. 10
Note: The battery turns on automatically, as soon as you plug the instrument cable
into the endpin. To spare the battery life, take the cable out, when not used. If you
do not use it for a longer time remove the batteries to prevent leakage!

Technical Notes:

This unit uses an active stereo NanoFlex (PanaFlex) pickup. You cannot connect other pickups, e.g.: another brand or passive piezo pickup, to it.
This may damage the pickup or the preamplifier.
