Isys Controls
Volume • For the cleanest signal, set the volume knob as high as possible,
without causing distortion or feedback.
Contour • This one-button tone control lets you choose between a natural
sound with no EQ (button out) or a “Scooped” sound with emphasized treble
and bass and reduced midrange (button in).
Phase • Use the phase switch to improve bass response at low volume and
suppress feedback at high volume.
When the batt lamp lights steadily it is time to change the battery (approx. 125
hours of use). To conserve the battery, unplug the instrument when not in use.
