DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

pletely OFF. At “+12” it is LOUD!
2. BASS (BASS SLIDE CONTROL)
3. mID (mIDDLE SLIDE CONTROL)
4. TREB (TREBLE SLIDE CONTROL)
The BASS, mID, and TREB slider controls are a 3-band equal-
izer for controlling tone.
The BASS tone control is a normal boost / cut shelving con-
trols.
The mID (midrange) and TREB (treble) tone controls are nor-
mal boost / cut tone filters.
The center detent on these tone controls yields a flat tone re-
sponse.“+12 ” boosts the tone; “-12“ cuts the tone.
5. mIX (AST / UST - UST XOm SLIDE CONTROL)
Your guitar is equipped with the exclusive B-Band XOm™ mix
control and two pickups - the UST (Under Saddle Transducer)
pickup and AST (Acoustic Soundboard Transducer) pickup.
The UST pickup is under the saddle of the guitar. This pickup
gives full range tones and is the fundamental sound that is al-
ways present in the sound mix.
The AST pickup is attached to the bridge plate or the sound-
board of the guitar. This pickup adds some extra sonic tone and
adds that tone to the mix.
XOm is an acronym for Cross-Over-mix. This function is at the
“mIX” control of the guitar and its use is described below.
When the mix control is turned all the way towards the (XOm)
UST / AST side, which is the XOm position - a 50 / 50 mix of
AST and UST is heard. This is the crossover mix of the AST and
UST. The crossover point is 800 Hz. From 800 Hz and up is AST.
800 Hz and down is the UST. 50% is the high tones of the AST
and 50% is the low tones of the UST. See diagram below.

CROSSOVER
POINT
When the mix control is turned all the way towards the UST side
the sound is ONLY the UST pickup sound. Full range sound of
the UST. No AST sound.
With the mix control at any position you always hear the low
tone part of the UST pickup. This provides a very round and
solid low tone sound at any position.
