Volume, Tone & Compression
Multi-band compression has long been a secret of mastering rooms worldwide to unlock the warmth and natural dynamics of recorded instruments. The Element VTC’s all-discrete, Class A preamp leverages this studio elixir with a proprietary analogue compressor that operates below 400Hz. The compressor is tuned to reflect the actual dynamics of the acoustic guitar, creating in live performance the superior warmth and natural balance of tone achieved in professional studio mastered sound. Includes soundhole mounted volume and treble tone controls.

Advanced Undersaddle Pickup with Unrivalled Dynamic Range
Common undersaddle pickups depend on string attack to directly compress the sensors for their sound. This direct pressure is a root cause of the infamous quack. In contrast, LR Baggs' patented Element derives output from the movement of the soundboard and rejects string attack to minimise quack. Its flexible film sensor, thin as a human hair, mirrors the soundboards movement as you play to capture the guitars actual voice and its most delicate nuances. In addition, the pickups minimalist construction removes most of its influence on the acoustic properties, creates an intimate coupling between the sensor and guitar for the highest fidelity possible, and makes the Element amazingly reliable. Every pickup is made in their California factory and is pre-tested in a guitar for output and balance.
