Supernatural Digital System
The Supernatural Digital System comprises two sensors inputted into a programmable preamplifier. The sounds are “tuned” by professional musicians and pre-stored into the chip. There are four pre-sets to suit most guitars, scenarios and styles. As a starting point, we describe them as:
Thick Strum, Finger pick, Solo, Thin Strum
Each sound is customisable with the onboard EQ so our descriptions are just a starting point from which you can explore the sounds of your guitar and your playing style.
The Control Plate is fitted in the sound hole and has the standard 3 band graphic EQ any professional expects, plus a volume control. The four sliders from left to right are: Bottom end, Midrange, Treble, Total Volume.
The push-button on the right is for selecting sound programs: a green LED flashes the numbers, flash once for sound 1, flash twice for sound 2, etc.
When the battery is running low, the red LED lights up, and there’s from 30 minutes up to several hours left depending on the strength of your battery. The battery and major circuit board (PCB) is fitted to the guitar’s heel block therefore no routing is needed in the guitar’s side.
With the battery changing tool, you can change your battery in 5 seconds, without needing to loosen the strings and retune the guitar. Remember to always keep your battery changing tool in your gig bag/case.
The system is lightweight and does not compromise the guitar’s acoustic performance.
