q Line Out Volume Control/TA Switch
To turn on the TransAcoustic guitar, press this knob for approximately
0.3 seconds. When a cable is connected to the TransAcoustic’s output/
line out jack, the output level can be adjusted by rotating this control to
the right (clockwise) to increase the level, or to the left (counterclock-
wise) to reduce the level.
w Reverb Control

the way to the left (counterclockwise) bypasses/switches the reverb
effect off.
e Chorus Control

increases in the intensity of the chorus effect. Turning it all the way to
the left (counterclockwise) bypasses/switches the chorus effect off.
r Output Jack/Battery Holder
The output jack and battery compartment are combined into a single
unit. Inserting a plug into the output jack switches the internal preampli-
fier ON.
* To prolong the life of your battery, please unplug the cable from the output
jack when not in use.
