The A6 Ultra continues with the innovative concepts found in all
Godin A-series guitars, such as combining amazing plugged-in
acoustic sound with the ultra-comfortable feel of an electric
mahogany neck, along with a chambered body design that virtually
eliminates feedback in live & loud settings. These features stand true
and better than ever in the A6 Ultra with the added full tone of a
Godin humbucker in the neck position, an undersaddle bridge trans-
ducer, dual outputs (acoustic and electric) and a Custom Godin pre-
amp section voiced specifically for the A6 Ultra.
*Throughout this manual we refer to the humbucker as a magnetic.
The acoustic bridge pickup found on the A6 Ultra is referred to as an
acoustic bridge transducer.
Flexible Outputs
A look at the bottom of the A6 Ultra reveals two ¼" outputs. The out-
put closest to the strap pin is a dual function jack. Used on its own
this serves as a mix out carrying the signal from the bridge transduc-
ers as well as that of the magnetic pickups. Separate volume con-
trols on the guitar make it easy to mix the two signals. The second
¼" jack carries the signal from the magnetic pickups on its own.
When a cable is plugged into the magnetic pickup jack the magnetic
pickup signal is removed from the mix output so that there is now a
separate signal for each of the pickup systems.
Output #1
is a regular ¼" electric guitar output.
Output #2
is a dual function jack. Used on its own it serves as a "mix out-put"
carrying the signal from the acoustic bridge transducer as well as the
magnetic pickup. Separate volume controls on the guitar make it
easy to mix the two signals. When an additional cable is inserted
into output # 1 (electric output) the magnetic pickup signal is removed
from the mix output so that there is now a separate signal for each of
the pickup systems. Separate volume controls for the acoustic bridge
transducer and magnetic pickup can be used to adjust the balance.
To take advantage of the full potential of the A6 Ultra we suggest
using both output jacks simultaneously which allows you to run output
#1 (magnetic pick-up) into an electric guitar amplifier and output #2
Output #2
Output #1
