The Lab of the Dr. Epiphone is where the Gibson low-cost company develops some of their new products and this week they have announced a new active pickup, with the obvious name of Epiphone EpiActive Pickup. This pickup is the result of a long development by Epiphone engineers.
The Epiphone EpiActive Pickups features a built-in active preamp circuit, low noise, low distortion op amps, high output dynamic signal and shielded housing to provide noise immunity. The result is an active pickup that boosts the output signal and will be perfect for highly distortioned tones.
We don’t know what products will include this new Epiphone EpiActive Pickups or if Epiphone will sell this pickup as a stand-alone product which price will it have, but I’m sure we will have some updates soon.
