Making Connections

Input

Plug in your bass guitar here with a standard ¼-inch instrument cable.

Insert a plug into the input jack, and Fission Bass powers up. To conserve the
battery, remove the plug from the input when not in use.

Trim

Raise or lower the trim to optimize the input level for your pickup. Play hard and
adjust trim so clip|batt fl ashes occasionally. Some passive pickups may not cause
the light to fl ash at all and other pickups with active preamps may require you to
turn their output down to achieve an optimum level.
