10. Pitch Correction
Auto chromatic pitch correction gently guides you to the nearest semi-tone
without making you sound like a robot. To access pitch correction, press and hold
the Tone button for about one second. Use the control knob to adjust the amount
of correction, from 0-100%.
Here’s a Craig’s Corner explaining why you might hear a “phased” type sound
when using pitch correction: https://youtu.be/KWrEIuiDXsA
11. Anti-Feedback
Everyone loves that amazing squealing sound coming out of the speakers,
right? Yeah, not so much.
Anti-Feedback automatically adapts to your environment and removes
frequencies that can cause feedback. It’s not a silver bullet, you still have to set
up your gear with reasonable volume levels and avoid pointing the mic at the
speakers, but Anti-Feedback can help when you’re “on the edge” and getting
some squealing here and there.
To activate Anti-Feedback, simply press the button. White is ON.
You’ll see the LED light blue when it’s working to get rid of oending frequencies.
If the LED is ashing constantly, it’s done all it can do and you’ll have to look at
the rest of your audio setup to reduce feedback further.
To reset the lters, simply turn Anti-Feedback o and on again.
Note that Anti-Feedback works for the microphone input only.
However, you can press and hold Anti-Feedback to invert the phase of your
guitar, which can help reduce acoustic instrument feedback signicantly. Use the
control knob to toggle between green “normal phase” and red “inverted phase”.
There’s no right or wrong choice here. Use whichever setting reduces guitar
feedback the best for you.
Here’s a Craig’s Corner video about feedback:

12. BodyRez
There’s nothing like a great sounding acoustic guitar. However, most guitar
pickups create what we refer to as a “quacky” sound that’s just not the same as
listening to the natural guitar either in a room or via a nice microphone based
recording. BodyRez works with your acoustic guitar’s unique tone to reduce
muddiness and “quack” giving you a vastly improved sound. We recommend
leaving BodyRez on.
To turn BodyRez on and o, simply tap the button.
To adjust the amount of BodyRez:
• Press and hold the BodyRez button for about one second
• Use the Control Knob to adjust the BodyRez amount to taste
13. 48V (Phantom Power)
If you have a condenser mic, it’ll need power to function. You’ll need to press and
hold the 48V button for two seconds to turn phantom power on.
If you’re not sure what kind of mic you have, but you don’t hear any sound, it’s ok
to try 48V. It won’t damage a dynamic microphone.
