The Takamine TP-4T acoustic guitar preamp is designed specifically for your Takamine guitar to provide the flexibility and control you need in almost any performance or recording environment.

Features:
Battery Tray Releases: Pinching the tabs of the battery cover toward each
other to remove. This provides access to the battery compartment. When inserting new batteries align the battery’s polarity with the markings inside the
battery compartment.
Tuner: This button controls the built-in tuner’s on-off function. Simply press
the button once to activate the tuner (even if the guitar is not plugged in) and
the tuner display c will light. When you play a string the tuner will display the
note name of the pitch you’re playing. Then, simply adjust the pitch of your
strings in the direction of the flashing up or down arrow to the right of the note
name. As you approach the correct pitch, the flashing speed slows until you
are in tune and both the arrows illuminate to form a diamond.
When the tuner is active, pressing the tune button a second time enablesyou to tune
to a arbitrary reference pitch. For example, if you are attempting to play with some
other out-of tune instrument, tune one string of your guitar to that instrument while
the tuner is on. Once tuned, press the Calibrate button and the tuner will adjust its
reference frequency allowing you to tune the rest of your strings accurately. When
the tuner isturned off, it will revert to the standard A=440Hzsetting.
To save battery power, the tuner will automaticallyturn off after about two minutes
of operation and may be reactivated by pushing the tuner button again. If you
finish tuning before the tuner automatically turns off, you may turn off the tuner
manually by simply holding down the tuner button for at least two seconds.
Low Batt LED: A circuit within the TP-4T tracks the life of your battery. When
your battery voltage becomes low enough the begin to affect the quality of
your sound, this LED will illuminate.
Volume: Turning thiscontrol clockwise increasesthe output level of the preamp.
EQ Controls: The TP-4T features a three-band equalizer that allows precise tonal
adjustment with a maximum of 12dB (deciBels) of boost orcut. Each slider enables
you to increase or decrease the power of sound in a designated spectrum. The
“Low” controls works in the bass range, the “High” works in the treble range, while
the “Mid” control will allow you to adjust the boost/cut at a mid band center frequency especially chosen to give the most appropriate harmonic control possible.
