For those view that have never owned an electro-acoustic guitar
you'll need to know the benefits of, and how to use
a preamp with built-in tuner.
The AC-4T pre-amp is a powered unit that requires a 9-volt battery
which is inserted here.
It has a built-in chromatic tuner which is really handy and easy to use and allows you to tune to all 12
pitches have the chromatic scale
when you switch the tuner on its default is
auto mode which means it will detect the string you are tuning
you can also choose the note you want to tune by pressing the note button
and scrolling through all the notes. You would also need to use this option
if the guitar is badly out of tune or you have just replaced the strings
The note selection is easy to read
in the LCD display which is metered with a needle
and it also has three LED indicators
to show you if you are sharp or flat
The guitar can be connected to an amplifier
by using the standard guitar jack input, but can also be plugged into a mixing
desk
or external recording equipment via the XLR inputs
when the tuner is being used these inputs a muted
so be sure to turn the tuner off once you've finished using it
the sound is amplified by fitting a piezo-electric pickup
under the saddle which then sends a signal to the preamp
see you can make adjustments to the sound by using the built-in EQ
you can tailor your sound by using the EQ controls
which allow you to make adjustments to the bass, middle, treble
and presence and you also have a master volume control
