Product Ref: 43317
One simple control adjusts the amount of sustain going from angelic smooth to nasty hard. Just play any note, chord or harmonic and it will keep going until you stop it. What guitar player doesn't want notes that just keep on going. "Eleven" is now a musical reality.
Science says if you want to know everything about and have complete control of a vibration string, there are only two places to look - the ends. Since only the bridge end is practical, the StrongArm Sustainer picks up and drives all six strings by systems embedded within the actual saddle piece.
Ever watch a kid spin a jump rope? It takes just a small amount of energy at the right time and the rope keeps on spinning - same here. A small amount of energy imparted to the string keeps it sustaining forever.
Application of the drive energy is moderated by the most accurate and full-sounding bridge pickup ever designed. Most bridge pickups sound thin because they respond to changing string tension, which causes the fundamental of the string to "double up" with each vibration.
The StrongArm Sustainer pickup packs a punch unlike any other bridge pickup. The sensor saddle sees minute changes in position of the strings termination at the bridge. The result is a new species of pickup that is full and even sounding with incredible range of response. No more "plinky" sounding audio from your guitar. A simple blend control adjusts the mix from your regular magnetic pickups with the StrongArm Sustainer sound.
The StongArm Sustainer comes with a USB port for charging and communicating with the free editor. Users can make presets that control all parameters: just want sustain on the low two strings? You got it. No opens or only above the seventh fret? Just dial it in.
Operating on AA batteries, the StrongArm Sustainer sips power and goes all day long. You can even use wireless systems and retain your stage freedom - all while being as easy and familiar to play as your favourite guitar.
