| Output Jack |
| Three outputs for unparalleled combinations of sounds. The Mono (All Pickups) jack enables the player to combine the ProBucker pickups and the NanoMag with one cable. When the Stereo output is used in combination with the Mono output, the 'Magnetic' output (jack #1) carries the signal of the ProBucker pickups and the NanoMag/Mono output (jack #2) is for the NanoMag pickup, enabling a player to split the signal of the guitar two ways, perhaps using the ProBucker pickups through an amp and the NanoMag through a PA. The third output is for the supplied USB cable which connects the Ultra III to any USB compatable computer. Native Instruments GuitarRig (downloabable from Epiphone.com) allows you to play the Ultra III through your computer. (USB output requires the use of a 9 volt battery) |
| Other |
| Built-in chromatic tuner with 7 blue LED lights corresponding to A-G notes. There are 3 LED lights to indicate if the note is “in-tune”: A red “L” for low or flat, a red “H” (for high or shapr, and a green “T” to indicate the note is in-tune. When the tuner is activated, all output from the Ultra III is muted. The tuner also features an “A” and “B” indicator which works in conjunction with the A/B knob located on the guitar. When you push down the NanoMag Volume and A/B knob you can toggle between the two pickup systems. The “A” and “B” indicator light tells you which combination of pickups you’re using. A (red)=NanoMag. A/B (red and blue)=NanoMag and ProBuckers, B (blue)=ProBuckers. |
