Pickups Model
The eSonic2™ preamp is fed by two distinct acoustic pickups, a slimline magnetic Shadow NanoMag™ at the end of the neck and a piezo Shadow NanoFlex™ pickup under the saddle.
Preamp
In addition to its master volume control and slider Blend control (used to blend your preferred mix of the two pickups), the eSonic2™ includes separate EQ controls for each pickup, a phase switch to help eliminate feedback, and a built-in tuner that mutes guitar output when engaged. The preamp operates on two 2032 lithium watch batteries, which offer both low weight and extended life.
