Presys Blend 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.

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 • Use the phase switch to improve bass response at low volume and

suppress feedback at high volume.

5

Mic Blend • This control determines the balance between the internal micro-

phone and your pickup signal. Turn the control left of center for more pickup or

right of center for more microphone, enhancing the natural sound of your pickup

output. At high volume levels, mix in less microphone to prevent feedback.

Mic Trim • A dedicated microphone volume is located on the side of the

preamp body. Set the mic blend knob to the center position and adjust the mic

trim with a small slotted screwdriver until the microphone and pickup levels are

balanced to your liking.

Tuner • Use the tuner lights as shown below to tune your instrument.

Battery • When the batt indicator lights steadily it is time to change the bat-

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

in use. Replace the battery by ﬂipping open the preamp body using the latch

located above the Fishman logo. Be sure to observe the correct polarity during

this installation.
