EASTWOOD TIGER GUITAR CONTROLS EXPLAINED
Circuit Power - The Eastwood Tiger Guitar circuit is powered by a 9V battery located in the
rear cavity which can be accessed by removing the screws on the rear plate.
Transwarp™ Pre-amp - The Eastwood Tiger Guitar features our Transwarp™ Pre-Amp which
acts as a buffer for the circuit. The Transwarp™ is active at all times and cannot be deactivated.
The unit is powered by the 9V battery. The gain setting on the Transwarp™ is located on the
side cavity next to the 9V battery compartment, and can be adjusted using the small trim pot
located on the unit using a small screwdriver to set your desired gain amount. If you are
experiencing gain clipping, we recommend that you reduce the gain by adjusting the trim pot
anti-clockwise.
To avoid unnecessarily draining the 9V battery, the instrument cable should be removed from
the guitar when not in use.
Using the OBEL (On-Board Effects Loop) - The Eastwood Tiger Guitar features an OBEL
which allows the signal from your effects pedal/s to be run through the guitar with the signal
before the Master Volume. To utilize the OBEL, you will need either a 1/4” Stereo (TRS) Jack to
2 x Mono 1/4” Jack splitter cable or an OBEL box, of which there are variations available.
The TRS Jack runs into the upper insert on the guitar and the 2 x Mono Jacks go to the input
and output on your effect/s. The lower insert on the guitar runs straight into your amplifier input.
To activate the OBEL, flip the FX Loop On/Off switch to the downward position.
Please note: the Eastwood Tiger Guitar OBEL jack is wired TIP to RETURN and RING to SEND.
You might need to reverse the wiring on the TRS jack insert in order for the guitar to work with
some OBEL boxes.
The Eastwood Tiger Guitar does not feature any built-in effects processors.
