The Session VTC takes the studio-inspired features that we originally pioneered in our Session DI and builds them into the guitar’s onboard electronics.
Now you can harness the rich warmth of the Session’s harmonic Saturation and the balance of the multi-band Comp-EQ, without needing to haul a separate pedal to the gig.
When we first designed the Session DI, we took studio mixing and mastering processes and reworked them into effective live performance tools with simplified controls. The Session VTC uses our Element Pickup and applies the Session’s toolkit to process and refine the signal before it even leaves the guitar.
Our harmonic Saturation is a variable and subtle distortion that is applied to the lower frequencies to add warmth and depth to the pickup signal. Using the included adjustment tool, you can fine-tune the system’s saturation to perfect the natural resonance of your specific instrument.
Our Comp-EQ is a 3-band compressive-EQ that targets and tames common problem frequencies in acoustic guitars. The Session VTC balances the sound of the Element Pickup in ways that have never been done before with our onboard electronics.
The Session VTC’s unique features are specifically optimized to be paired with our best-selling Element Pickup for maximum dynamic range and road-tested reliability. Powered by our signature all-discrete circuitry, this is a pickup system that truly blurs the line between studio and stage.
