Onboard Aura

Anti-Feedback

The Onboard Aura is equipped with an automatic search and 

destroy anti-feedback filter. 

1.

Move the Anti-Feedback switch left to the On position and push 

the measure button once. The letter “F” in the tuner display will

flash. 

2.

Turn up the volume until you reach the threshold of feedback. 

The automatic filter will identify and eliminate the offending 

frequency. The Anti-Feedback circuit will remember this offending

frequency (even when you turn the circuit off/on) until you push 

the Measure button again. 

The Anti-Feedback feature is a global parameter and will apply to

both the pickup and all of the six Sound Images. The default anti-

feedback frequency is 100 Hz, or about G# on the low E string.

Play/Edit Switch

When the switch is in “Play” position, the Onboard Aura is in normal

operating mode and the tone controls affect only the pickup signal. 

In Edit mode the Sound Image tone controls may be programmed, 

and relative phase parameters can be accessed. See Sound Image 

Tone and Relative Phase (pickup).
