Edit

 • Turn the 

Edit

 knob without pressing on it and the balance between 

pickup and Image is adjusted. A setting of 

P

 = 100% Pickup signal; 

0

 = a 50/50 

pickup/Image blend; 

I

 = 100% Image signal.

Suggestions

•  For live performance try backing off the Image by setting 

Blend

 to 

about 2 or 3 (about 65% pickup).

•  For recording, try blending in more Image for a realistic acoustic sound.

Automatic Anti-Feedback

Use this search-and-destroy 

Anti-Feedback

 circuit in addition to 

Phase

 to 

control feedback during a performance. F1 Aura’s automatic 

Anti-Feedback

 

circuit can apply up to three separate notch fi lters, which are very precise tone 
controls that reduce only a tiny piece of the audio band. When activated, the 
fi lter locates and reduces the problematic resonances associated with feedback.
