NAMM iPod Gadget #2: The iPod Guitar

The heart of the iCoustic system is a Fishman Mini Q 9V Two Band Active EQ with a standard ¼" output. This is coupled with an under-saddle mounted Sonicore piezo pickup and built-in amplifier.

A 1/8" mini input jack connects most music players and digital devices to the guitar. A ¼" input/output jack connects you to external amplifiers, sound pedals etc. and also allows you to connect to other guitars in both the Duet and Piggyback Modes.

The soundhole-mounted 4" aluminum magnesium woofer is custom designed to provide realistic acoustic sound and to integrate visually with the guitar.

The iCoustic operates ini several modes:

• Self Amplification
• MP3 Mode iPod - lets you playback tracks through the speaker and jam along to them
• Pro Mode: Korg ToneWorks PXR4 - Attaching a Korg ToneWorks PXR4 or other portable recording or effects device lets you record, playback or add multiple effects using only the guitar.
• Effects Pedal Mode - you can use all your favorite effects pedals without the need for an amp or P.A. system
• Duet Mode - connect two or more guitars together using a standard guitar cable. The sound from one guitar is played back through the body of the other.
