Active/Passive Retro-Fit for Strat Style Guitars
• UPPER KNOB
• BYPASS ( Upper Knob Pushed Down)
When the upper knob is in its down position, the system is bypassed via a high quality relay with gold plated contacts.
• ACTIVE ( Upper Knob Pulled Up)
In its centre click, there is additional gain of 2.5dBs with an essentially flat frequency response.
Turning it CW gives a mid boost ranging from 0 – 15dBs at frequencies according to the setting of Frequency knob.
Turning it ACW gives a combined boost to the bass and treble spectrum, with more emphasis to the treble frequencies.
The lowest level point is set by the Frequency knob, but the amount of bass and treble boost varies according to the
setting of the Frequency knob. (Not easily described in specification terms)
• LOWER KNOB
• FREQUENCY (200Hz - 2kHz)
The lower outer knob has 41 click positions to set the frequency of operation for the upper knob. Turn ACW for the lower
frequencies and CW for the highest frequencies.
• CHARGING YOUR TONE LIFTER
• PLUGGING IN THE CHARGER
The Tone Lifter’s internal battery is charged via its jack socket, and it is important to follow this procedure when plugging
it in. The Battery Pack will normally have some charge when new, but a full charge is recommended after installation.
NOTE - Important:
If the charger is the Universal type, make sure the correct adaptor is inserted in order that it matches your AC Mains
outlet socket. But don’t plug it in to the mains until completion of the following few steps:
• First plug the Special Jack Charger Adaptor into the guitar jack socket.
• Then plug the connector on the end of the charger output lead into the Special Jack Charger Adaptor.
• Lastly, plug the charger into an AC Mains socket and switch on.
• When charging is complete, switch off the charger at the AC Mains before unplugging the Special Jack Charger
Adaptor from the instrument.
• CHARGE STATUS INDICATOR
The Charge Status Indicator LED is wired directly to the internal battery. The LED is designed to be fitted either in its
panel mount holder, or left within the control cavity, when it is important to retain the original condition of the instrument,
without modification. In either case:
• The LED lit Red indicates the charging phase is in progress.
• The LED lit Green indicates that the charging phase is complete.
NOTE:
• It is not necessary to run the battery down completely before recharging, it can be topped up at any time.
• It charges more quickly during the initial charging phase, so even a short charge can be a useful top-up.
• From fully discharged to a full charge takes approximately 4 hours.
