Installing Your Modulator
Lay the instrument on its back. Magnetically join the Installation Tool with the Modulator, looping around the Modulator.
Holding the ends of the installation tool, lower the Modulator into the instrument through the Left F-hole until the Modulator is entirely inside and has cleared the faceboard.
Position the Modulator under the wood so it is only half visible through the f-hole. Place the Black Outer Magnet on the instrument top at least 3 inches away from f-hole and slowly slide it towards the spot over which the Modulator sits.
Once the outer magnet and the Modulator have magnetically connected, gently remove the installation tool. Holding the outer magnet only, slide the entire Modulator away from f-hole into the tone and wolf control area.
This can be reversed for removal, however the entire Modulator + Black Outer Magnet are pulled out together.
Alternative Method
Before unpacking the modulator, sit and face cello with endpin extended about 18 inches and firmly planted. LEAN THE CELLO TOWARDS YOU, the bottom of the bass f-hole is still accessible to both of your hands. Hold instrument in place with your knees.
Unpack the box, separate the two magnets, and grasp them firmly, one in each hand. First, insert THE FELT END of the piston assembly halfway into the lower hole of the bass f-hole BUT DO NOT RELEASE IT. Then position the black outer magnet about 3 inches directly below the lower hole of the bass f-hole with the felt side touching the top of the cello.
Make sure you are still holding the cello tilted towards you. Release the piston assembly. It will jump into the cello and snap into its position inside, right behind the black outer magnet. That’s it!
