There's nothing so inspiring as playing guitar in a great sounding room–it makes you play better, longer and with more creativity.

- SYSTEM70 Trans Acoustic Preamp with a SRT Piezo Pickup

Actuator
An actuator installed on the inner surface of the guitar back vibrates in response to the vibrations of the strings. The vibrations of the actuator are then conveyed to the body of the guitar and to the air in and around the guitar body, generating authentic reverb and chorus sounds from inside the body.
Simple Controls
- Chorus Control
- Reverb Control (Room/Hall)
- TA Switch/Line Out Volume Control
- Pressing the TA Switch for longer than 0.3 seconds activates the TA function.
- When a cable is connected to the line out jack, the line out volume can be adjusted by rotating knob (C).
Battery Box
The battery box is integrated into the end-pin jack, which requires fewer holes in the body, thus reducing acoustic sound loss. Connect the cable from the jack to a PA or amp to use as an acoustic-electric guitar.
