LR Baggs Element Active System VTC Volume & Tone Control

LR Baggs Element Active System VTC

Standard undersaddle acoustic guitar pickups rely on string movement to produce sound, which often produces a 'quacking' sound. Unlike these pickup systems, the Element Active System mirrors the movement of your guitar's soundboard, with a super sensitive, super flexible, super tiny (2/1000 of an inch) film sensor picking up all of your guitar's subtle nuances. Tracking the motion of the top rather than a direct string attack suppresses “quack” caused by compression and unlocks the Element’s unrivalled dynamic range. The pickup’s minimalist construction lessens any influence on the acoustic properties and creates an intimate coupling between the pickup and guitar for the highest fidelity possible.

The Element Active System VTC (Volume & Tone Control) additionally features a treble tone control and a special low frequency compression circuit. The LF compressor tames low end thump and mimics the actual dynamic response of the guitar for enhanced realism.
