Abstract
Digitized components are used with an electric musical instrument to save one or more component configurations into one or more presets thereby enabling a user to instantly select the saved component configurations for output. The user can select the saved component configurations using one or more buttons or a pick-up selector switch to instantly change pick-up, tone and volume. In addition, the electric musical instrument is able to produce sound in the event of a power loss.
