signal. Press again to exit.

liking.

for direct connection to a computer. All preamp controls continue to operate as described
and a battery is required when using this output.

Kula Controls
Volume • For the cleanest signal, set the volume knob as high as possible, without caus-
ing distortion or feedback.
Bass • Boost here to add depth and weight to the sound of the instrument.
Middle • Turn the middle knob all the way left for a smooth “scooped out” tone at high
volume levels. Raise the middle knob to the right of center to add midrange “bite” to the
sound.
Treble • Boost to cut through the mix. Cut to mellow and subdue the sound.
Tune • Use the tuner lights as shown below to tune your instrument.
When the batt lamp lights steadily it is time to change the battery. To conserve the bat-
tery, unplug the instrument and turn off the tuner when not in use.
