Frequently Asked Questions
The Anthem uses a microphone in addition to a piezo, offering more nuanced tone, but the VTC SS provides a more consistent and controlled sound, especially for live performance.
Yes, the VTC SS is specifically designed for guitars with split saddles; attempting to install it on a standard bridge will require modifications and likely won't work well.
The LF compressor is designed to be transparent, primarily controlling dynamics without significantly altering the natural acoustic tone, but subtle compression is always present.
