AGP-2 / ABGP

Thank you for your purchase of a FISHMAN product. Please read these instructions carefully. If you have any questions or problems, contact our PRODUCT INFORMATION LINE at 978-988-9665.

The Fishman AGP-2 and ABGP preamps are specifically designed for use with piezoelectric pickups. Since piezoelectric pickups require specific elec- trical environments, the AGP-2 / ABGP feature discrete input stages that maximize the full potential of the pickup. Both units provide active gain con- trol and fully buffered shelving style active boost and cut for BASS and TREBLE. The center frequencies of these controls have been selected for their relationship with acoustic instruments.

The width of the bass and treble separation effectively provides a midrange control; boosting the bass and treble controls simultaneously will provide an effective midrange cut or vice-versa.

The Preamp housing is made of rugged aluminum and weighs only seven ounces. For maximum portability and user convenience, it is equipped with a heavy duty stainless steel belt clip.

NOTE: If you have purchased the AGP-2 Preamp Kit that includes the Fishman AG-125 Acoustic Guitar Transducer, be sure to see the enclosed separate instructions to guide you in proper installation of the transducer.

The AGP-2 is designed specifically for acoustic string instruments including guitars, violins, violas, cellos and mandolins.

The ABGP offers the same features as its general purpose counterpart, but has specially selected frequencies specifically chosen for the acoustic bass and the Fishman BP-100 Bass Transducer.

INSTALLATION

1. LOCATION

Determine the best location for the Preamp on your instrument. We recom- mend the upper bout adjacent to the neck, or in the waist area. Avoid any location that may interfere with neck block, braces or linings.
