The LR Baggs Session electronics were designed to impart the rich sonic character that you’d expect from an experienced audio engineer using some of the world’s finest studio gear. The Session VTC's "tape-like" saturation is voiced specifically for the acoustic guitar and transports studio, analog warmth and inspiring playability to the stage. The built-in low, mid, and high frequency compressors are essentially "touch-sensitive" EQs that respond in real-time to your dynamics. The harder you strum, the more they compress and vice versa. The Session VTC pairs studio electronics with our patented Element pickup for a polished sound on stage. Engineered to mirror the soundboard’s actual movement as you play, a flexible sensor picks up the guitar’s most delicate nuances for the highest fidelity possible. Because the pickup tracks the motion of the top rather than the direct string attack, it mitigates the "quack" common in other under-saddle pickups and unlocks the Element's unrivaled dynamic range. LR Baggs products must be installed by an authorized LR Baggs dealer to qualify for warranty coverage. Technical assistance will not be provided for home or hobbyist installations.
