Gibson Dark Fire System Bedienungsanleitung

Welcome! The Dark Fire is the most innovative new guitar in several decades. While

the guitar may look very traditional, it has many features that go well past what the

world has seen before.

We have worked very hard so you can begin to enjoy the instrument with very little

instruction. To get the most out of this instrument, you will be delighted to explore

its features via the Dark Fire website (www.gibson.com/darkﬁre), where we have

instructional videos, manuals and a thriving community of fellow owners trading tips

and secrets. As always, you can call with any questions (1.800.4.GIBSON in the USA,

or other numbers worldwide) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

1. Charge the battery

The guitar works on battery power and the battery must be charged for the electronic

features to work. A charger and a transformer are included with the guitar. Make sure

it is in the case if the case has been opened by your dealer.

You must use a stereo cable like the one included with the guitar to charge the battery.

It takes about one hour to fully charge the battery. The charger shows the battery is

fully charged when the blue charging LED is no longer on.

You can play the instrument while you are charging.

2. Make sure you reCeived all aCCessories

The guitar comes with:

•Stunning white case printed with Dark Fire Limited Edition First Run

•Charger with a “wall wart” power supply which connects to it

•Full manual

•High quality stereo cord

•Redemption certiﬁcate to redeem your welcome kit which includes:

a. Computer interface box (Robot Interface Pack) which allows you to use computer

software to further enhance your playing experience

b. Full version of Guitar Rig 3 software

c. Special Gibson Studio Version of Ableton Live

d. Various instructional manuals

The redemption requires you to call 1.800.4.GIBSON with the serial number of the

guitar, the store and salesperson from which you purchased the instrument, and the

sales receipt number.

3. eNJoy your robot ii power tuNers

The powerheads can be turned by hand or by Robot tuning technology. Unlike

conventional keys, they all turn in the same direction.

To tune your guitar to A440Hz standard tuning, pull out the MCK and strum all 6 strings.

The powerheads will turn and a ﬂashing marquee on the MCK will conﬁrm when you

have reached pitch on all strings. It should only take one or two strums.

Push the MCK back in and you are ready to play!

dark Fire

The Master Control Knob (MCK) is a highly sophisticated push-pull knob. When pulled

out, its many functions can be accessed. You are also able to change some of the

settings using the MCK.

ChaMeleoN toNe teChNology: 8 great souNds to

start with

To activate Dark Fire’s Chameleon Tone Technology, pull out the MCK, rotate it to the

letter “C” LED and press down.

The display on the MCK will now show your current pickup conﬁguration. To select a

new tone setup, rotate the MCK to one of 8 possible positions which correspond to an

LED that lights when selected. The display will change, indicating your new tone setup

is activated.

Press the center of the MCK to set this pickup conﬁguration as your default (it will be

activated automatically on next startup). The MCK should still be pulled out.

Push the MCK back in to resume playing with your selected setup.

All of these tones can be modiﬁed by turning the tone knobs and changing the position of

the 3 position toggle switch. The varieties of tones you can achieve are astronomical.

piezo bleNd

Dark Fire’s toggle switch also acts as a volume knob to blend in the piezoelectric

signal from the bridge. To activate the piezo signal output, pull the MCK, turn it to

Letter “I” LED (Blue Bank) and press. The guitar symbol on the MCK will turn green

and the acoustic tone of your Piezo will mix with your regular signal as you ramp up

your toggle-volume knob.

With a mono guitar cable, your piezo signal will blend with your regular output at

the tip of the cable’s plug. When a stereo cable is connected, the piezo signal routes

independently to the sleeve of the plug. Thus the piezo sound is heard in one of the

stereo outputs and the electromagnetic pickups can be heard in the other channel. You

can then use your charging adapter to split both signals.

altered tuNiNg, FaCtory presets & baNk switChiNg

Dark Fire has one blue, one green and one red bank of six factory presets each. The

presets are selected by the lettered LEDs on the MCK’s display (see page 3).

aCtivate presets

Pull out the MCK and turn counter-clockwise to the #b symbol. Press the display a few

times and the color display matrix will alternate between blue, green and red. Stop on

the color of the bank you want to pick a preset from. Now rotate the MCK to the letter

LED that coincides with the desired preset. Press the display and strum the strings.

Push the MCK back in and you are ready to play.

* When using extremely low tunings (such as C and B) use heavier gauge strings (e.g.,

.013” to .062”). If you do change to extra-heavy gauge strings this way, do NOT use

the Green and Blue Banks presets as you may risk damage to Dark Fire.

A second Quick Start Guide will be sent with the Robot

Interface Pack (RIP). This will show you how to set up and

use the powerful software that comes with the Dark Fire.
