HOW TO CHANGE BATTERY
1) Carefully remove the four screws holding the bottom plate.
2) Remove the bottom plate gently.
3) Replace the old battery with a new one of the same type, 9V alkaline
type; 6LR61.
4) Gently place back the bottom plate, and make sure no cables are
squeezed. Attach the four mounting screws using moderate tension.
The EBS Phantom Power System™ makes it
possible to power the EBS FuzzMo with 9V DC
directly from the EBS Drome, Gorm, HD, TD
and 1V2/Classic amps. Here is a step-by-step
instruction on how to do this.
HOW TO USE THE EBS PHANTOM POWER™
1) Connect a stereo ¼” instrument cable (TRS, tip-ring-sleeve) between
the EBS FuzzMo pedal and the EBS amp.
2) Activate the phantom power on the amp. This is made with a flick of
a switch on most EBS amps. Please consult the manual for the EBS
amp you are using.
3) Connection done. You should now have power in the pedal, even if
the input jack is left open.

MYNOTES:
Note that only the pedal that is directly connected to the EBS amp can be powered
with phantom power. This means that if you have more than one pedal, ONLY THE
LAST one can use the EBS Phantom Power™.
Checkpoint
1) Is a ¼” STEREO cable used between
the pedal and the amp?
2) Is there power available on the
RING connection of the ¼” plug?
Action if answered NO
- Replace cable to a ¼” STEREO cable.
- Make sure the phantom power is
activated on the amp.
- Check cable.
*EBS recommends the use of the EBS AD-9+ ,
which supplies a well stabilized power to the EBS FuzzMo and
all your other pedals that operate with a 9V battery. The high
current capacity, >1000mA, makes it possible to supply all
pedals with only one adapter, EBS AD-9+!
