INK Body Controls

Volume • For the cleanest signal, set the volume knob as high as possible,

without causing distortion or feedback.

Bass • Boost here to add depth and weight to the sound of the guitar.

Middle • Turn the middle knob all the way left for a smooth “scooped out”

tone at high volume levels. Raise the middle knob to the right of center to add

midrange “bite” to the sound.

Treble • Boost to cut through the mix. Cut to mellow and subdue the sound.

Brilliance • This control can add shimmer and sparkle to your sound. It zeros in

on crisp high frequency tones, the realm of harmonics and acoustic string sound.

Lower the brilliance control to reduce ﬁnger noise and fret buzz.

Notch • Tune the notch ﬁlter to remove low-end feedback. Raise the volume

until feedback occurs, then slowly turn the notch to the right until the feedback is

eliminated.

Phase • Press the left side of the tuner display to toggle phase. Use the phase

switch to improve bass response at low volume and suppress feedback at high

volume.

Body • A body sensor is mounted under the bridge to enhance the natural res-

onance of the instrument. Turn this control up to blend the body sensor in with

the pickup signal. At high volume levels, mix in less body to prevent feedback.

Tuner • Press and hold the right side of the tuner display to activate the

onboard tuner; press once to turn it off. This digital chromatic tuner

accommodates all standard and alternate tunings and mutes the output when

engaged. It is calibrated to A = 440 Hz and can be activated without an

instrument cable connected. To conserve battery life, the tuner will turn itself off

after three minutes of inactivity.

Battery • When it is time to change the battery, a low battery indicator will

light. To conserve power, unplug the instrument and turn off the tuner when not

in use. Typical 9V alkaline battery life is approximately 80 hours (with tuner off).

On certain models, the low battery lights to indicate it is time to recharge the

internal battery. Connect a micro USB cable and 5VDC, 500mA power source to

the INK output box until the status LED indicates full charge.

USB Output Jack • If equipped, provides a USB 2.0-compliant digital audio

output for direct connection to a computer. All preamp controls continue to op-

erate as described and a battery is required when using this output.
