ty, full-range amplification system such as a PA, an acoustic guitar amp, or keyboard amp.
•
If a mono cable is used and the stereo / mono switch is in the OUT / STEREO position,
only the magnetic pickup sound will be heard.
•
If the stereo to "Y" mono cable is used with the Stereo / Mono switch set in the IN / MONO
position, both the magnetic and piezo outputs will be heard through one amp and only the
piezos through the other.

Because the two kinds of pickups have "irreconcilable impedance differences", their outputs can-
not be mixed without the help of an electrically powered (active) circuit. The 9 Volt battery that
powers the Fishman® piezo preamp has a life of approximately 200 hours. The circuit switches on
when a cable is plugged into the guitar, so to conserve batteries, unplug the cable when you're not
playing your NiteFly.
NOTE: To replace the battery, release the catch and swing open the doors. The flip-out holder
will not close if the battery is installed incorrectly. Please be gentle!!!

Not on the NiteFly!! If your battery is weak, dead, or missing, you can still use the magnetic pick-
ups! Just switch to stereo mode, and switch the Magnetic / Both / Piezo selector switch to
Magnetic and PLAY the blues!

Your guitar is equipped with a Piezo Balance Trim Pot. We set this control at the factory so that
the full volume outputs of the piezo and magnetic systems are equal. Since string gauges and
pickup height affect the output of the magnetic pickups, you may want to change the relative levels
of the two systems by adjusting the piezo output.
To do this, remove the three pickguard screws nearest the controls. Carefully lift the pickguard and
adjust the small white control located on the Stereo / Mono switch circuit board with a small screw-
driver. This "trim pot" adjusts the output of the piezo pickup.

Piezo pickups have a far greater treble response than magnetic pickups. Some amps have no
trouble with the additional high frequency output, but others may distort. If this happens, either
lower the piezo volume at the guitar amp, or try lowering the treble control of the amp.
