Dear Customer, thank you for purchasing XG-900 Modeling Guitar. When the “Easy
Mode” is ON, each editing related to Amp Model, Gain, Reverb, Overdrive, will be
spread to all the Guitar Models. This manual will show you how you can switch to
the “Full Editing Mode”, in this way each bank of the guitar will be totally
“independent”. The User will have the possibility to have different settings in terms
of Target Guitar Pickup, Volume, Overdrive, Reverb, Amp Model, IR, for each bank.
We are sure you will enjoy the variety of sounds and the playability of a handcraft,
truly innovative, instrument.

the best possible realism, in terms of guitar tone emulation. XG-900
has a Telecaster model as pre-installed Source Guitar; therefore the
Learning Procedure is recommended only if you modify the physical
setup of the guitar. Here you have a tutorial video, made using the
pedal XT-1 https://youtu.be/vs4QqvRWO5I
The chromatic scale you must play is the same. At the end of each
pickup recording, rotate clockwise the Black Rotary Selector (D) to
confirm, or anticlockwise if you wish to repeat the recording of the
same pickup position.
UP= Clockwise
Down= Anticlockwise

Selector (D) moves 5 banks Up/Down. This allows to change Guitar Model.
E –Amp/Fx Switch: Activate/Disactivate the Amp Models and the Effects
1. Amp Off
When this switch is in OFF position you are using only the Guitar Models, therefore
it is suggested to connect XG-900 to a guitar amp.
2. Amp On
When the switch is in ON position the Amp Models and the Effects on-board are
activated. This means that you can connect XG-900 directly to the mixer. Each
time that you activate the Amp/FX Section you can adjust the Gain percentage:
- Rotate clockwise or anticlockwise the Black Rotary Knob (D) until you get the
desired gain, then Tap it confirm.

You can check each setting adjustment through the Screen of the guitar.

the gain adjustment will not be stored. This means that, if you disactivate and
activate again the AMP/FX Section, the gain level will go back to the one previously
set through the Menu Option (D) of the guitar or through the Editor for PC/Mac.
G –Overdrive On/Off: Activate/Disactivate the Overdrive Effect.
3. OD On
When the switch is in ON position the Overdrive Effect is activated. Now it is
possible to adjust the Overdrive Gain, then Tap the Black Rotary Knob (D) to
confirm and exit to the Guitar Models list.
NB: Unlike the EASY MODE, when using the XG-900 with the FULL EDITING MODE,
the gain adjustment will not be stored. This means that, if you disactivate and
activate again the Overdrive Switch, the gain level will go back to the one previously
set through the Menu Option (5. Overdrive) of the guitar or through the Editor for
PC/Mac.
I –Pickup Selector: The Modeling Guitar has a 5 ways Pickup Selector; each
position corresponds to a Bank of its Configuration, which is occupied by a Target
Guitar Pickup. XG-900 has been previously configured with 18 guitar models, each
of which has a variable number of pickups.
