Hartwood Sonata-FX Thinline Electro-Acoustic

In-built FX module and internal speaker! Achieve an infinite number of tones without the aid of a pedalboard or amplifier Premium tonewood selection and C-shaped neck offer responsive playing experience Unique Preamp System At the heart of Hartwood Sonata-FX Concert sits a unique preamp system. Incredibly versatile, the system simultaneously acts as an acoustic preamp, FX module, and internal loudspeaker. Unlike other guitars of this style, Hartwood’s team of product specialists opted to defer from the traditional method of gluing a vibration piezo to the body top in order to obtain a signal. Instead, the innovative patented design sees a microphone installed into the body chamber which is then routed to a small twin speaker. Not only does this method amplify and enhance your tone, it minimises the risk of unwanted resonances for a clear sound when practicing and performing. Achieve studio-quality tones unplugged with the onboard chorus/delay/reverb processing. Based across two controls, you’ll be free to determine the perfect amount of depth for your tone by increasing “reverb” which can then be enhanced with a touch of either chorus, or delay. Placing these effects on one knob makes it effortless to alternate between sounds mid performance. This proves useful for buskers who desire a compact, streamlined set-up when on-the-go, as well as inspiring singer/songwriters to break through writer’s block. Although modern in its design, the Sonata series keeps Hartwood’s traditionalist values close to heart with the inclusion of an input jack, allowing you to seamlessly integrate an amplifier, or additional pedals into your set-up. Not only can all onboard processing be incorporated into your sound, you can also use the volume knob to determine the exact level that the guitar hits your amplifier and pedals. When connected to an amplifier, utilise the integrated 2-band EQ that offers two “musical” shelves to add “body” and “sheen” to your tone. Further tonal adjustmen
