Battery Operation
The '59 Bassguy can also be powered by a 9V battery (006P type). Connect the snap cord to the battery and place it in the compartment.
When the battery is low, the LED may dim, the effect sound may weaken, or distortion may increase. Replace with a new battery.
The battery will drain if a plug is inserted into the INPUT Jack. Unplug when not in use to conserve battery.
