10.  Pitch Correction

Auto chromatic pitch correction gently guides you to the nearest semi-tone 

without making you sound like a robot. To access pitch correction, press and hold 

the Tone button for about one second. Use the control knob to adjust the amount 

of correction, from 0-100%.

Here’s a Craig’s Corner explaining why you might hear a “phased” type sound 

when using pitch correction:

11.  Anti-Feedback

Everyone loves that amazing squealing sound coming out of the speakers, 

right? Yeah, not so much.

Anti-Feedback automatically adapts to your environment and removes 

frequencies that can cause feedback. It’s not a silver bullet, you still have to set 

up your gear with reasonable volume levels and avoid pointing the mic at the 

speakers, but Anti-Feedback can help when you’re “on the edge” and getting 

some squealing here and there.

To activate Anti-Feedback, simply press the button. White is ON.

You’ll see the LED light blue when it’s working to get rid of offending frequencies. 

If the LED is flashing constantly, it’s done all it can do and you’ll have to look at 

the rest of your audio setup to reduce feedback further.

To reset the filters, simply turn Anti-Feedback off and on again. 

Note that Anti-Feedback works for the microphone input only. 

However, you can press and hold Anti-Feedback to invert the phase of your 

guitar, which can help reduce acoustic instrument feedback significantly. Use the 

control knob to toggle between green “normal phase” and red “inverted phase”. 

There’s no right or wrong choice here. Use whichever setting reduces guitar 

feedback the best for you.  

Here’s a Craig’s Corner video about feedback:

12.  BodyRez

There’s nothing like a great sounding acoustic guitar. However, most guitar 

pickups create what we refer to as a “quacky” sound that’s just not the same as 

listening to the natural guitar either in a room or via a nice microphone based 

recording. BodyRez works with your acoustic guitar’s unique tone to reduce 

muddiness and “quack” giving you a vastly improved sound. We recommend 

leaving BodyRez on. 

To turn BodyRez on and off, simply tap the button.

To adjust the amount of BodyRez:

•

Press and hold the BodyRez button for about one second 

•

Use the Control Knob to adjust the BodyRez amount to taste

13.  48V (Phantom Power)

If you have a condenser mic, it’ll need power to function. You’ll need to press and 

hold the 48V button for two seconds to turn phantom power on. 

If you’re not sure what kind of mic you have, but you don’t hear any sound, it’s ok 

to try 48V. It won’t damage a dynamic microphone.
