FUNCTIONS
BATTERY POWER
Make note of the following when using the Powerblend under battery power:
• The Powerblend has no on/off switch. Under battery power, the Powerblend is turned on when the
STEREO IN jack is plugged in.
• The Powerblend pedal is always on when using an AC adapter.
• To avoid excessive battery drain, unplug the STEREO IN jack when the unit is not in use (battery life
is an estimated 55 hours, continuous use).
BATTERY COMPARTMENT
To install the battery (see page 3) slide the latch on the battery compartment to the right and remove
the door. Install a fresh 9 Volt alkaline battery in the battery clip.
AC ADAPTER INPUT
USE ONLY a FISHMAN model 910-R or a Roland PSA series Regulated AC Adapter.
Using an unregulated power supply will void the warranty and may damage the unit.
STEREO IN JACK
The STEREO IN jack is a TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) 1/4" input that accepts two discrete signals through
a stereo instrument cable.
Route the magnetic pickup signal to the Tip terminal and route the Powerbridge (Piezo) signal to the
Ring terminal of this jack.
Use the included stereo cable to connect your guitar to the Powerblend.
LO CUT FILTER
This switch lets you select between three distinct voicings for the Powerbridge pickup.
TOP POSITION (Flat)
For full frequency response, select the top position. This works best with hard-tail style
Powerbridges, especially through a full range sound system.
MIDDLE POSITION (Bass Cut)
Gently rolls off the low end. The Bass Cut position slightly subdues bass and unmasks
mids and highs.
BOTTOM POSITION (Deep Bass Cut)
Use the bottom position for all vibrato style Powerbridges. This setting "trims the fat" by cutting
sub-bass frequencies. The Deep Cut will minimize rumble and handling noise on vibrato style
guitars. It will also provide "woofer insurance" by limiting low frequency cone excursion when
using the vibrato arm.
