Pete79 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I have recently bought Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500 MCE, fantastic sound, plays like butter etc. It has installed Preamp E Sonic 2 HD. I cannot find manual for this version anywhere (even on Shadow Electronics website there is only E Sonic 2 (not HD). I have one question: does your built in tuner work only if the guitar is plugged in? I have also electro-acoustic Fender with Fishman preamp and it works with plug and without it. I barely use mu guitar with amp so actually tuner is not available for me. If there is on/off tuner button it does not cause increased use of battery. Strange thing...

Irish_Rover Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Remove the strip of plastic between the batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete79 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 There is no strip of plastic between the batteries. In E Sonic 2 HD there are 2 AAA batteries. I have already received the response from Gibson/Epiphone service: only when you plug in the cable the preamp turns on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tuner works without the guitar cord plugged in I have AAA batteries also that must be a newer model I was expecting 2032 watch batteries I was having an issue with the magnetic pick up under the fretboard I tried a different cord and it started working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
