Seymour Duncan is long renowned for exceptional innovation and creativity in the realm of guitar pickups, which is why it should come as no surprise that the brand has now found an exceptional way to leverage mobile app technology to elevate guitar-playing by coming with guitar pickups whose sound can be tweaked and fine-tuned via a companion app and a Bluetooth connection.
The ‘HyperSwitch’ is a guitar pickup whose companion app allows guitarists to assign pickups to different switch positions and alter the polarity level. The app provides easily understandable visual depictions, with alterations saved to the pickup’s memory bank.
Whereas traditional guitar pickups can only be manipulated by using soldering and other skilled techniques, the ‘HyperSwitch’ makes this possible through a simple app, making it a steal at $149.
