The MidiUp can be controlled by a user installed pot in the guitar by connecting a stereo cable between the
modified guitar and the MidiUp. To install the pot in the guitar, the guitar should be modified by a
competent guitar technician
(or by you if you are handy with a soldering iron). The modification involves either installing an additional
pot or freeing up one of the pots (either a tone or volume control) inside the guitar, inserting a stereo jack in
place of the mono jack that is in your guitar, and wireing the pot to the extra pin on the jack. Most guitars
only require the removal and connection of a couple of wires to complete the operation. Notice that if you
use one of the tone controls as the pot, then of course you no longer will have any control over the tone of
the picup it is tied to, but instead the pot will control a much larger array of sound, including tone, by using
your multi-effect system, so you will probably not miss it. You can also use a volume control, but again, if
you use a volume control inside the guitar for this purpose, then you will not be able to control the volume
of that picup except through your effects. The other volume and tone controls in your guitar are not
affected.
If you choose to install a new pot instead of using one of the current pots in your guitar, you have the
advantage of retaining all of the volume and tone control operation as originally intended during times you
may not be using the MidiUp. The disadvantage of this method of course is that you need to drill an extra
hole into the pickguard or wood of the guitar to add the pot. Not a big deal, but possibly not something you
want to do to your favorite vintage.
USING MULTIPLE MIDIUP DEVICES
There may be occasion when you need to have different volume pedals controlling different effects
parameters or different effects at the same time. By using several MidiUp units together you can expand to
have both a pot in your guitar and a volume pedal controlling different effects or parameters of the same
effect. Each additional Midiup can accomodate another volume pedal. You can only have one pot in your
guitar unless you make special cabling arrangements.
