6. UP and DOWN buttons:
use these buttons to select different sounds and other func-
tions while playing. Press the buttons as required to step through the presets of the
AXON (and the corresponding voice numbers of the connected synthesizer). Press
and hold the buttons to switch numbers without stopping.
7. VOLUME
: this knob controls a voltage which will be translated by the AXON to the
language of MIDI. In most cases it is set to volume but you can choose any MIDI CC
in the AXON to control with this wheel. To adjust the volume of the conventional guitar
sound, use the controls on the guitar itself.
Installation
While mounting the PU 100 on a guitar is not difficult, it does require great care and a cer-
tain degree of manual skill. If you are not sure you have the necessary skills, we recom-
mend leaving the installation work to someone who has experience in modifying and re-
pairing guitars.
Note:
before installing the PU 100, be sure that the neck and the string height/intonation
(bridge) of the instrument are set correctly.
Suitable guitars
The PU 100 can be used with most electric guitars as well as acoustic guitars with steel
strings, with the following exceptions:
As the PU 100 is equipped with a magnetic pickup, it will not work with nylon or other
nonmetallic strings.
The PU 100 is designed for 6-string guitars. The system cannot work correctly with 12-
string guitars or unconventional string configurations.
The PU 100 pickup must be fitted between the bridge and rear pickup of the guitar.
Installation is not possible if there is not enough room between the bridge and rear
pickup or the body and the strings.
