The Fishman Powerchip can be found by
opening the round control cover on the
lower back of the Hybrid 55. Adjust the
small rotary trim pot on the backside of the
Powerchip to match piezo and magnetic
pickup levels. Move the Phase jumper on
the backside of the Powerchip to eliminate
phase cancellation between the piezo and
magnetic pickups.
The Fishman powerchip requires a 9-volt battery for operation. The battery compartment is the
rectangle door on the back of the 55 Hybrid just below the lower cutaway. For optimum performance
always use a 9-volt alkaline battery. The average life of an alkaline 9-volt in this model is 200 hours.
Hybrid 55 Owners Manual
The output jack is a special 9 pin stereo jack that turns the battery on when plugged in and also acts to split the
electric and acoustic signal to two separate sources when using a stereo Y-cable (not included).
