The Ultra True Stereo VT . The A thumbwheel control is the master volume control for both pickups of this stereo system. The B thumbwheel provides a Tone control that allows you to progressively roll off the top end of your guitar's frequency response to help sculpt your sound to your particular instrument or sound system.
Available as a Complete System including a pair of Acoustic Lens transducers for $269, and as an electronics-only Upgrade Package for use with your pickups for $184
In the Ultra True Stereo DV, thumbwheel A is the volume control for the left bass side pickup, and thumbwheel B acts as a volume control for the right treble side pickup. This gives you real-time control of the balance between the transducers, which can also act as a gentle tone control of the whole system.

The Ultra True Stereo Blend was designed to perfectly complement a dual pickup system where one of the pickups is considered to be the main part of the sound, and the other pickup is used to help fill out the sound, but is never used entirely on its own.
On this preamp, thumbwheel A is the master volume control for both pickups, and thumbwheel B controls (“blends”) the amount of the second pickup in the overall mix.
A great use of this would be a guitar setup with a magnetic pickup as the main sound source and adds an SBT or mic as the secondary pickup to support the main sound. Each pickup input channel has an easily-accessible gain trimmer to set the overall available output level for each pickup.

The Ultra True Stereo Panorama's A thumbwheel is the master volume control for both pickups, and the B thumbwheel Pans smoothly between the two pickups. When used with a pair of our Acoustic Lens transducers, the Pan thumbwheel acts as an overall tone and “focus” control. The center of the thumbwheel's arc is the balanced center between the 2 pickups, and the farther you go from center emphasizes either the treble or bass side pickups as you choose.
The Pan control is also very effective when using 2 different pickup sources (i.e.: an undersaddle and an SBT). The thumbwheel allows you to choose between either pickup source individually, and to simply combine them in ways that sound best for a particular guitar or song. This also gives you the flexibility to dial in the pickup mix “on the fly” to deal with unexpected problems, such as feedback from poor monitoring situations.
