Input
The TA30 has a single jack input for connection to the instrument. This is a very high
impedance input in order to perfectly match the output from a Piezo pickup that has no
built in preamplifier of its own.
This input should be sensitive enough for all current acoustic pickup systems. It also has
sufficient headroom to cope with the output from those active pickup/preamp systems
built into many modern instruments.
Gain Control
The GAIN control is to allow the user to set the optimum input signal level to achieve
maximum quality and minimum noise.
This should be adjusted so that while playing the red LEVEL indicating LED illuminates on
loud playing peaks. If this LED will not light up while you are playing then it is because
your instrument has a very low output signal level, in this case set the GAIN control to its
maximum position for best results.
Always set the GAIN control at the maximum level for your instrument as this ensures
that you are achieving the best quality of sound with the minimum of background noise.
L0-trim/Hi-trim tone controls
The LO-TRIM and HI-TRIM tone controls are boost and cut controls with their FLAT
setting being at the centre position of the control. Turning the control in a clockwise
direction from its centre position increases the bass or treble whilst turning it in an
anticlockwise direction will decrease the bass or treble.
