Set volume “off”by turning
counter-clockwise until it stops.
Set the bass, middle, treble and
presence controls to center.

Connect the K-1 to an amplifier or PA
with a ¼-inch instrument cable. The

system is active.
3. Raise your levels and EQ adjust:
Raise the volume and adjust the bass,
middle, treble and presence controls to
your liking.
➊Volume - For the cleanest signal, set the volume
knob as high as possible, without causing
distortion or feedback.
➋Bass - Boost here to add depth and weight to the
sound of your guitar.
➌Middle - Turn the middle knob all the way left for a
smooth “scooped out”tone at high volume levels.
Turn the knob clockwise to right of center to add
midrange “bite”to the sound.
➍Treble - Boost to cut through the mix. Cut to
mellow and subdue the sound.
➎Presence - Control the frequency between
