To  charge  the  CUTLESS  Preamp,  plug  the  Mi-Si 
Power Charger into a 120/220 V AC outlet. Then 
plug  in  the  Power  Charger  1/4”  stereo  plug  into 
the preamp’s endpin jack and wait 120 seconds. 
Now  you’re  ready  for  4  hours  of  performance 
time (actual playing time may vary depending on 
playing style). 

You  can  plug  your  instrument  into  ANY  input 
of  ANY  system  or  amplifier  regardless  of  input 
impedance.  In  the  same  manner,  you  can  use 
ANY type of shielded MONO cable - regardless of 
its  capacitance.  Your  sound  will  not  be  altered. 
You can enjoy the benefits of an active amplified 
system without worrying about batteries.

Bypass Switch: 

The CUTLESS Preamp features a Bypass 

Switch. If you forget or lose your Remote, and would like 
to bypass your “remembered” EQ settings, simply flip the 
Bypass Switch located on the back of the preamp.

Important: 

Be sure to flip the Bypass Switch back to its 

original position before using your Remote again.

Tip: 

Using the Power Charger to power up your 

Preamp is truly remarkable. But what if you forgot 
or lost your Power Charger? Don’t worry! Although 
we don’t promote the use of batteries, in this case 
all you need to power up your system is any stereo 
cord and a common 9V battery. 
Plug the stereo cord into your instrument. Hold the 
9V battery so that the positive terminal is touching 
the  Ring  of  the  stereo  plug  and  the  negative 
terminal  is  touching  the  Ground.  Hold  it  for  60 
seconds  and  you  are  ready  to  play  for  2  hours. 
The system will not be damaged by accidentally 
connecting the battery in wrong direction.
