Description
What makes this guitar special: The most advanced guitar-based digital controller ever produced - in addition to its two traditional magnetic humbucking pickups, the HD.6X Pro Digital carries a unique new Hex pickup, mounted between the traditional “lead” position humbucker & the bridge, which is made up of six individual humbucking-type pickups (one for each string), and forms the link between analog & digital in the system. Each of these six pickups in the Hex sends a signal from its individual string to the guitar’s onboard, studio-grade preamps & converters, where it is converted from analog to digital & sent down a standard Ethernet cable to a proprietary Break out Box. From here, the player can route the output to be processed externally in mono, stereo (splitting the three lower and three upper strings), or as six individual signals—one to each of six amps, one to each of six channels on a mixing desk, or wherever your imagination takes you. The HD.6X Pro Digital Les Paul’s onboard preamp system also includes a headphone output for in-ear monitoring & a facility to return a monitor feed from an external mixer via the BoB and Ethernet cable, so you can play along to other sources. All in all, the HD.6X Pro Digital Les Paul presents sky’s-the-limit possibilities that are maximized by its ability to tap outboard digital systems, rather than being restricted to inherently limited onboard tone-producing systems, as with other digital guitars. All this, and you still have an exquisitely crafted, traditional Les Paul with two of the world’s most popular PAF-style magnetic humbucking pickups to boot.
