You can also connect this output to an unbalanced input on a recording system. 9vdc See Power section. 10 Right side panel Input Plug in your guitar here with a standard ¼-inch instrument cable. If you have a passive undersaddle pickup (no battery onboard), always plug into the Aura Imaging Pedal first, even if you use a pedal tuner. Trim Raise or lower the trim to optimize the input level for your pickup. 11 Control set Phase switch Use the phase switch to improve bass response at low volume or to control feedback at high volume. Play your guitar and toggle the phase switch back and forth until you achieve the desired result. Volume For the cleanest signal, set the volume as high as possible without clipping the next device in the signal chain. If you hear distortion and the clip/batt light is not flashing, reduce the volume. 12 Select The 16 Images you can choose with the select knob are hand picked for your type of guitar. Try all 16 and pick the ones that compliment your playing style and sound good in the room. For example, dark/deep sounding Images may add impact to a solo performance. Blend Position the blend knob straight-up at 12 o'clock and you'll hear a 50/50 mix of Aura + pickup. Turn the blend all the way right for just Image; all the way left for just pickup. Most performers blend in some pickup with the Image for clarity and definition. 13 Blend (continued) Suggestions · To find a good mix of Image and pickup, turn the blend knob to about 8 o'clock, then step on the footswitch. Slowly move blend clockwise and then switch between the two until you are happy with the Image/pickup blend. [. . . ] Insert a plug into the input jack, and the Aura Imaging Pedal powers up.
