In the early 1970's Shadow launched the world's first dual pickup system, "The Doubleplay," combining magnetic and undersaddle pickups.
30 years later and just in time for 2007 Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Shadow has achieved this musical feat again: Shadow has designed a dual pickup system representing the best acoustic amplification system on the market.
The "Sonic Doubleplay" combines a Nanoflex pickup in the bridge and the brand new NanoMAG in the fingerboard giving unbelievably rich and clear sound. The heart of Sonic Doubleplay is its blend control. With the blend control you can mix the Nanoflex pickup in the bridge and the magnetic NanoMAG at the fingerboard. This gives you an incredible range of different sounds and colors for your individual playing.
NanoMAG is a small size magnetic pickup that fits at the end of the fingerboard. It is the only pickup of this kind on the market which provides an acoustic sound, but can also produce a sweet blues or jazz sound. It is very resistant to feedback and has incredible dynamics.
Shadow's soundhole-fitted preamps for acoustic and classical guitars are designed for sonic clarity, ease of installation and preservation of your instrument. Because Sonic preamps are installed into the soundhole there is no need to cut a hole in the bout/frame of the guitar.
The complete system is extremely light and weighs less than the 9V battery other preamps work with.
