Can anyone comment on the process involved with running the cable through the guitar to make permamnent? Thx!

This is not the kind to drill a hole in your guitar and make it permanent. There other ones make to do that. My guitar is ventage made before they had built in pickups for this kind of guitar. It was strongly suggested not to drill a hole in it so I got this pick up. It works great for me and getting another one for my ventage 12 string. Whether you drill a hole in it depends of the quality of your guitar and age. If you do have it done I would suggest getting a profesional guitar tech do it. It is more involved than just drilling a hole in it. If you can afford it I would suggest getting one with the pick up built in from the factory. I got another guitar for places I don't want to take my good guitars to for $170 from a pawn shop and it sounds ok. So in short this one is not made to do that. there are several ones that are made to do that, and a professional guitar tech will be able to tell you which one will fit & work best in your guitar.

Assuming your guitar has a strap pin on the side. There are adapter kits which will take the 1/4" connector from the pickup, extend it, and replace the strap pin with a jack. All you would need to do is unscrew/replace the factory pin. No drilling. Obviously, if you intend to use the guitar standing up, that might pose a problem.

This is an extremely popular pedal, so nothing unusual is required. You need a standard guitar cable (1/4" male mono plug on both ends) to go from your guitar to the input jack on the pedal. And you need another cable of the same type to run the signal from the pedal's output jack to the input jack of your amplifier. Good quality cables about 15 feet in length typically cost about $20 each. You shouldn't buy cheap cables, but I don't see any need for anything more expensive than between $20 and $40. If you're talking about an AC adapter so that you won't need batteries, I suggest the One-Spot. About $35 and works great. Hope that helps.

If I plug this in from my amp to my computer will I have a clean enough signal to use my overdrive? You should be able to play noise (songs etc..) from your computer to your amp. I haven't tried that configuration yet... I have been using my computer as the amp for my guitar/bass..:)

You need to use speaker cables....NOT guitar or instrument cables. Use speaker cables only, you'll have a better sound.

1. Don't use it like a pedal in front of an amp, it's meant to be used as a DI box into a soundboard. 2. Make sure your on board eq controls on your guitar aren't turned up the whole way, if the volume on your guitars eq is blasted it will distort the effect. 3. If you are using other effects, make sure they aren't overdriving the ADI21. If everything is correct and its still distorting than it may be the effect. I've never had any problems with it distorting at all, it should be a pretty transparent effect just adding some eq to your signal and acting as a DI.

As I recall, this is just the software. I bought a plug from Apogee (called the "Apogee Jam"). Then, of course, you will need a standard guitar cable as well to run from the guitar to the Apogee Jam. Have fun!

I actually didn't. I suppose I should have tried a better pickup, more shielding in the guitar cavity and better cables. Also, moving further away from the computer may help... or from the amp, for that matter. I don't use the Plug anymore.

Search Fred Yen on you tube. He has a video that you can follow step by step to wire the electronics. Actually you can follow his videos to build the whole guitar.

I believe you are referring to the piezo type strip that mounts under the saddle on your guitar. This involves removing the saddle from the bridge and drilling a small hole for the wire to pass thru . Once this has been done be sure to remove some material from the underside of the saddle as to assure a good string action or height as the pickup strip will add about 1/16 of an inch. There are a few videos on you tube that will be very helpful in this installation and I strongly suggest that you watch a couple before you attempt to install this type pickup on you guitar but at the same time don't be intimidated by the procedure either. This is a great pickup system and looks good installed. I believe you are referring to the piezo type strip that mounts under the saddle on your guitar.

I pull mine through a mixer, into my interface and into my DAW. The only thing is is that you need to do this with mono cables otherwise your output will be terrible. I love how the volcas sound, so any effort you put into this will be well worth it. PS; I had low output until I switched to mono cables.

Is just to plug the cable from your Guitar to your Amp (Or other effect if you have)

This is very good product, i am planning on use it on every guitar that i make. Good seller, fast shipping.... respect. And yes you can install it you need a hand drill, drill bit, sharp knife, painters tape, pencil, and youtube!

I don't know the answer to this but I would be really interested to hear someone else's ideas. You are giving me the idea of a workflow which would be different from the one I typically use: guitar - audio i/f - software (I typically use Sonar) - Guitar Rig. I interpret you to be putting the guitar effects at the beginning of the chain and the using the THR5 as the audio i/f. Given your Focusrite probably has better converters, and your pedals are going to introduce noise, I would expect you to be getting a different kind of sound. Like Link Wray for the 21st century. Good Luck!

It is mounted under the saddle. You drill a small hole and feed the wire through and plug it in. You will have to sand the saddle off the same thickness as the pickup bar to retain the same action on the guitar.

It came with the cable, it's hardWired into the pedal cuz it has aDouble 3 way circuit .....it's ready to switch your amp functions

Cable is included but cannot be unplugged from the pickup. So if you want to have it affixed to your guitar you will have to do someting extra with the cable.
