![]() ![]() When you first power-up the AX 100 and start playing, you'll hear the slightly embarrassing sound of a grand piano (playing piano on a guitar feels like an unnatural and shameful act). Once the pickup position is correct, though, the accuracy and speed of Axon's note tracking is incredible - if you're not getting excellent results, you can be pretty sure that it needs changing. If the position isn't quite right, the chances are that you'll have problems, with the G-string in particular. To test if you've got the pickup positioned properly, you just need to see how well it works with the AX 100. As such, the AIX 101 won't suit all guitars and you may have to buy a different type of pickup.

Not all previous Axon units can be upgraded to MkII - only the ones with a large Display Contrast knob are compatible. The Axon AX 100 MkII can be bought as an upgrade kit, or as a new 19-inch rackmount module. The original Axon system was a revelation, but the MkII update brings improved firmware, a brand new soundset, PC and Mac control software and a 'guided tour' DVD. ![]()
