User manual FISHMAN ELLIPSE VT

[. . . ] User's Guide EllipseTMVT Ellipse VT WELCOME . . . . . . and thank you for your purchase of the Ellipse VT acoustic preamp system. [. . . ] Phase Switch Push the phase switch in and out until you find the position that sounds best and reduces feedback. Tone This innovative one-knob tone control lets you choose between a natural, undersaddle sound with no EQ (Flat) on up to a "Scooped" tone with emphasized treble and bass and reduced midrange. · To make single notes sound thicker and punchier, move the Tone slider toward the Flat position. · Try the Tone slider in the middle position for fingerpicking, when you need just a bit of midrange cut. · Move the Tone slider all the way to the "Scooped" position for more depth and clarity to your sound, especially for hard strumming. Voicing Switch (Natural I & II) Reach into the soundhole with your index finger. You will find the voicing switch located behind and to the right of the phase switch. Push the voicing switch away from you for more bass (Acoustic Matrix Natural I voicing) and toward you for a leaner response (Acoustic Matrix Natural II voicing). Choose the setting that works best with your instrument and your performing situation. ·The deep, bass enhanced Natural I voicing (switch toward bass side) compliments solo guitarists and singers who accompany themselves, especially with smaller bodied instruments. [. . . ] If loose inside the guitar, the battery may damage the instrument.
