FRONT PANEL FEATURES
INPUT
The instrument input accepts a 1/4" mono phone plug. The input “senses” either a magnetic or piezo pickup, therefore separate inputs or
a selector switch is not needed (as on other acoustic amplifiers). If you hear any distortion when using this input, make sure to check the
battery in your instrument.
GAIN CONTROL
Proper use of this feature will ensure maximum signal to noise ratio (quiet operation) and prevent unwanted clipping (distortion) in the pre-
amp section. The following procedure should be followed.
1. Turn the Master Volume to the “MIN” position. Plug your instrument into the input jack. The volume control on your instrument
should be set at maximum (because we all know sooner or later it will get there during the night!). Start with the Strawberry Blonde’s tone
controls set to the “0” (flat) position and the Aural Enhancer in the 12 o’clock position.
