Quick Start

Power – Install a fresh 9V battery (not included) or connect a Fishman

power adaptor.

shown. When using Platinum Pro EQ with bass instruments, set the EQ

Mode to bass. Set EQ Mode to guitar for all other instruments.

Plug in – Use standard ¼-inch and XLR shielded instrument cables.

Set trim – Play hard and adjust the input trim (on the right side) so the
level LED  ashes only occasionally.

Tune up – Step on the tuner footswitch to tune with the output muted.

Kill feedback – If feedback starts, change the position of the phase

switch. If feedback persists, set the notch switch to in and slowly rotate
the notch knob to “dial out” the feedback.

Making Connections

Playing live

For the best sound reproduction when performing live, connect to an
acoustic instrument amp, PA system, powered monitor or other full-range
audio system. The balanced XLR D.I. output eliminates an outboard D.I.,
providing a high quality, noise free signal.

Going direct

For direct recording, there is no better solution than using Platinum Pro
EQ’s balanced XLR D.I. or 1/4” output.
