NAMM 2020 - LR Baggs Announces Soundscape™ The Next Breakthrough Chapter in Acoustic Amplification

LR Baggs Announces Soundscape™
The Next Breakthrough Chapter in Acoustic Amplification

Nashville, TN (NAMM, Hall D Booth 5406) January 9, 2020 - LR Baggs is thrilled to introduce Soundscape, the next breakthrough chapter in acoustic amplification. LR Baggs will be unveiling Soundscape at the 2020 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, CA.

Soundscape measures the acoustic response of your guitar and leverages the processing power of your smartphone to accurately capture your guitar’s one-of-a-kind voice. A Voiceprint™ is created and loaded to your Soundscape pedal, replacing your pickup’s signal for the most accurate sonic performance LR Baggs has engineered in their 40+ years in business.

Guided by the Acoustic Live™ app and proprietary impulse response technology, you can now use your smartphone like a studio in your pocket to capture a Voiceprint of your acoustic guitar. Developed with Dr. Jonathan Abel, co-founder of Universal Audio, the LR Baggs Voiceprint technology utilizes a sophisticated algorithm that intuitively measures your acoustic guitar by analyzing its actual timbre and playing response, then creates a customized preset for live play, as well as for direct recordings. Simply plug into the pedal and set your phone into position; tap on the bridge, strum a few chords, pick some strings, and you’re done!

As an added benefit, every Voiceprint that you create identifies your guitar’s specific resonances that are prone to feedback and creates an Anti-FB profile to easily manage feedback with one simple control on the pedal. The app also provides advanced features such as a graphical full-parametric EQ for balancing each preset to your exact taste. These features can also be used for creating enhanced presets even if you choose not to apply a Voiceprint.

The Acoustic Live app provides the processing you need to create your Voiceprint, while the Soundscape pedal is your live performance engine. With advanced processing at 96 kHz sampling, the robust playback algorithms provide studio-quality performance designed for easy control during your live show. You can manage your presets in the app and store up to 100 instruments in your Soundscape pedal. The hardware is designed with a simple layout that includes the key features you will need for a successful show, but you can connect with the app during your live performance for additional functionality and control. Pricing is $399.

Available Spring 2020.
