The VTC-N Version: The Active Element with Integrated Control, No Compromise

The Element Active VTC-N (Volume and Tone Control) adopts the minimalist and efficient approach of the Element series, adding direct control of volume and treble via a removable module. The goal remains the same: lightweight, musical, and reliable electronics that respect the acoustic projection and dynamics of nylon-string guitars, while offering immediate handling.

For Which Guitarists and Situations?

This system is designed for musicians who want to amplify their classical, flamenco, or electro-classical guitars with a balanced and responsive sound, without a bulky preamp on the side. Ideal for concerts, rehearsals, or recording, it allows quick adjustment of output level and brightness depending on the venue, fingerstyle playing, or pick attack, all while maintaining a discreet aesthetic.

Design: Piezo Under Saddle + 6.35mm Jack Preamp for an Open and Expressive Sound

The piezo sensor is placed under the saddle to directly capture the energy of the strings and the bridge response. The Class A preamp is integrated into the 6.35mm Jack (which also serves as a strap button), minimizing unnecessary components and improving overall sensitivity. The Volume and Treble control module attaches inside, at the edge of the soundhole, to remain accessible yet discreet. Note: installing the jack may require enlarging the existing hole of the original strap button.
