About this manual
Polybass adds a low octave to each string separately, thats why it works so accurately.
Godin/RMC produced many instruments with the necessary hexaphonic pick-up, thats why
we made the board fit perfectly into guitars with the RMC Polydrive system. if you own such
an instrument, the installation is very simple, explained in a
separate Polybass-R manual
.
This manual starts with a quick install of a pre-mounted kit and explains the basics to the
user. then it becomes increasingly more sophisticated, rather for luthiers and engineers,
showing all the options to build the Polybass-P into any guitar and adapt the features
acording to the needs of the user.
originally all was wired directly to the board. then we created the Polybass Shield which
makes all simpler and adds tone control and many other features.
its difficult to make this manual complete. please ask whatever you do not understand and
we help and invent and add to the manual... so make sure you grab the latest version!

I came up with all this, but I would not reach anywhere without good friends!
Philipp Scheidegger
is the very experienced electronic engineer who simulated the details,
reduced power consumption, draw the schema, made the layout, and finally thought me
how to use the layout software so I am free to complete and modify what he did!
