When used with a volume pedal no modification is necessary, simply hook a standard guitar cable from the pedal output to the MidiUp input and you are ready to roll. In this application no cable is attached to the input of the volume pedal. Instead your guitar just goes directly to the effects.
The ring (which connects to the installed guitar pot via the cable) is connected to the processing section of the MidiUp to convert the pot value to a MIDI Data stream.
Also nothing is connected to the MidiUp audio out since the unit is not passing a signal. The instrument itself is connected directly to your effects. This way, all parameters are controlled by the foot pedal.
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.
You can test that the MidiUp is calibrated by rotating the pot a second time to it’s extreme postion and watching the HI/LO LED on the panel of the MidiUp. The LED should come on when the pot is both near it’s lowest position and near it’s highest position.

This channel number is the MidiUp channel number and should not be confused with the channel that the MidiUp will transmit over which will likely be different. Use the chart on the next page to determine what Program Change number needs to be loaded into the foot controller for the desired result. Refer to the Appendix for information on how to set the unit channel to a new value if required for special circumstances.
