VOLUME CONTROL The Volume Control allows you to control the volume level at the instrument. PAN CONTROL The Pan Control allows you to balance the volume of two pickups. This control has a center detent which indicates that the pickups are equal in volume. TONE CONTROLS The Tone Control allows you to modify the instrument's tonal characteristics. Standard With the tone knob in the full clockwise position, a brighter tone is achieved. Rotating the knob counterclockwise gradually filters off the high frequencies, moving the sound from bright to more mellow. TBX Some instruments have a unique tone circuit that features a TBX Tone Control (Patented). The TBX Control provides both the conventional guitar sound and unique new sounds. Advancing the knob counterclockwise from the detent position gradually filters off high frequencies, like a standard tone control (see "Standard Tone Controls" above). Rotate the knob clockwise from the detent position, and you add presence and brightness by allowing the pickups' natural resonance to come through. With this added capability, the TBX provides a whole new range of sounds not previously available. ACTIVE ELECTRONICS Some Fender instruments feature active electronics, which are powered by a 9volt battery. The battery is accessed via a plate in the back of the guitar. More extensive descriptions of the circuit on your instrument (if it has an active electronic circuit) may be found in the manual addendum for your particular instrument included with this manual. Treble Boost/Cut The Treble Boost/Cut control allows you to increase or decrease the treble frequency output of the instrument. The knob has a center detent, at which point the natural tone of the instrument is uneffected. By turning the appropriate knob clockwise from the center, you gradually boost the treble frequencies in volume. By turning the knob counterclockwise from the center, you gradually cut the treble frequencies in volume. Bass Boost/Cut The Bass Boost/Cut control allows you to increase or decrease the bass frequency output of the instrument. The knob has a center detent, at which point the natural tone of the instrument is uneffected. By turning the appropriate knob clockwise from the center, you gradually boost the bass frequencies in volume. By turning the knob counterclockwise from the center, you gradually cut the bass frequencies in volume. Note: When using Boost/Cut controls, it is suggested that you start with the knob in the center (at the detent) and gradually add or boost frequencies from there.
