(acoustic bridge transducer) into an acoustic guitar amplifier or PA
system.
We highly recommend running the acoustic transducer output jack to
a volume pedal before going to the PA or acoustic amp. You can
then keep the guitar's acoustic transducer volume on at all times and
control the output with the volume pedal.
Another option is to use the acoustic tone along with the regular
magnetic pickups to create one huge tone. By selecting your neck
pickup and applying a small amount of acoustic bridge transducer
you can easily achieve a warm sound with lots of bottom end while
maintaining note definition.
The built in active pre-amp for the acoustic bridge transducer are
powered by a single 9-volt battery which can be found by unscrew-
ing the small round back plate. The pre-amp is activated when the
guitar is plugged in. Therefore, to avoid draining the battery please
make sure to disconnect your cable when the guitar will not be used
for a extended period of time. If the bridge transducer begin to sound
thin or fuzzy, a battery change is overdue. Battery life is approxi-
mately 300 hours.
