This multi-page Ovation technical document explains how to maximize the tonal capabilities of the Deacon and Breadwinner solid-body electric guitars, covering their active electronics, frequency response curves, and control configurations. It includes detailed explanations of the selector switch, notch switch, tone control, and trim controls, along with frequency response diagrams illustrating nine distinct tonal settings. A reference chart provides settings to emulate sounds associated with other well-known guitars and artists, such as the Allman Brothers, Doobie Brothers, and Fender Telecaster, when played through a 50-watt Marshall amplifier.
