INTRODUCTION
The HyVibe System is a sound amplifying device that
uses a vibration control system composed of actuators,
a high-speed processor, and a Bluetooth module to turn
acoustic instruments into their own amplifiers, connected
speakers, recorders, loopers, and multi-effect processors.
This user manual is for firmware version V1.1.10. To
ensure you have the most recent user manual, please

BATTERY WARNINGS
Only use the included 2200mAh / 7.4V Li-ion battery .
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte
from the batteries is corrosive and may cause burns or injury
to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.
Exercise care when handling the batteries. Do not allow
conductive materials such as rings, bracelets or keys to touch
the batteries, otherwise a short circuit may cause the batteries
and / or conductive material to overheat and cause burns.
Expected battery life: approximately
10 hours of full and
‘typical’ use on a full charge. Battery life depends on which
features are used (listening to loud dynamic music in
Bluetooth mode uses more battery than playing with effects).
WARNINGS
01 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this product to rain or moisture.
02 Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and
do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on or
near the apparatus. As with any electronic products, use care
not to spill liquids into any part of the product. Exposure
to liquids may create a failure and/or fire hazard.
03 Do not place naked flame sources, such as
lighted candles, on or near the product.
04 Do not subject batteries to mechanical shock.
05 In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in
contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the
affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
06 Do not use any charger other than that specifically
provided for use with the equipment.
07 Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
08 After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary
to charge and discharge the batteries several
times to obtain maximum performance.
09 Batteries give their best performance when they are operated
at normal room temperature 68°F (20°C) ± 9°F (5°C).
10 The battery provided with your system is not user serviceable.
Contact HyVibe for all battery related issues.
11 Lower the volume on the guitar when editing effects
with the Mobile App as loud sounds may occur.
12 Do not play the guitar or use it as a Bluetooth speaker at any
volume that causes discomfort. If you are experiencing ringing
in your ears, hearing muffled speech, or having any temporary
hearing difficulty, please discontinue use and consult a doctor.

FEEDBACK CONTROL
Be cautious when creating custom banks and effects
(especially when increasing the gain), as you might create
loud feedback. If you are experiencing unwanted feedback
from the guitar while using the Effects, try these solutions:
CALIBRATION
If there is feedback or unwanted noise when the strings are
muffled/muted (sounds coming from inside the body of the
guitar), recalibrate the HyVibe System.
First, make sure your guitar is in tune.
Next, enter the calibration menu on the device or the
connected HyVibe Mobile App. Muffle the strings (to neutralize
feedback from the body and inside the body of the guitar) and
simultaneously press ‘calibrate’
CREATE NOTCH FILTER
Using the HyVibe Mobile App, you can add a Notch
Filter to the effect bank. A notch filter is used to cut
a very narrow frequency out of the spectrum.
REDUCE GAIN
In the HyVibe Mobile, press the three dots at the bottom of the
Effect Bank, then click Modify. Lower the Gain of the bank.
SUSTAIN KILLER
If there is unwanted sustain on the strings (auto vibration
of the strings), enable the Sustain Killer. To do this,
enter the HyVibe Mobile App, press the three dots at
the bottom of the Effect Bank, and click Modify.
Turn on the Sustain Killer. The HyVibe System will
scan and find up to 10 frequencies (in under 2sec)
that cause feedback and filter them out.
Sustain Killer
If you turn the Sustain Killer off, the filter will be inactive.
But if you turn it back on, the previous frequency filter
will be active again. If you press the Reset button, the
HyVibe System will clear the filter and restart the scan.
