Input Trim and VU Meter

Adjust this set-and-forget control to accommodate the dynamics of your

playing style. When you set Input Trim to the optimum level, you can play 
strongly without distortion and play quietly without hiss.

To Set the Input Trim:

•  Unplug the guitar and pull the small tab at the top of the Aura Pro 

toward you. Locate the small circular potentiometer on the right side 
of the preamp.

•  To turn on the VU meter, move the Edit/Play switch to Play and plug 

in the guitar while holding the Anti-Feedback button for two seconds; 
release when the “G” lights. The pitch LEDs (two arrows and a circle) 
will now display the input level of the preamp.

•  Play the instrument strongly and watch the LED display. Use a small 

screwdriver to raise or lower the trim control so all three LEDs fl ash oc-
casionally with hard strumming.

•  To exit the VU meter, push the Tuner button.
