Sustainiac® Dimarzio® Satchur8 Stealth Pro Kit

Full Sustainiac kit including the renowned DIMARZIO Satchur8 humbucker!

As featured in Joe Satriani's current Ibanez guitars.

The Satchur8™ was designed for guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, and it has an expressive attack with a warm, sweet singing lead tone. It can go big when you need it, and get quiet when you back off.

When Dimarzio started this project, they chose an Alnico 8 magnet because it has lots of output, with a buttery smooth mid-range, deep, full-bodied bass, and a warm, singing solo tone that suits Joe's playing style. Additionally, the coils were tuned to Joe's sound. The rich output of the Alnico 8 magnet makes the Satchur8™ great for hot humbucking tones.

The Satchur8™ is smooth yet bright, with plenty of clarity and distinction.It's loaded with dynamics, and notes have weight and authority. Joe says the Satchur8™ is the richest, most complete sounding pickup he's ever used. "I wish we could just say, 'This pickup sounds effing great!'"

The Satchur8™ is available in F-spacing only.

The Sustainiac® Stealth PRO sustain system drives the strings of an electric guitar into infinite feedback sustain of string vibrations by electromagnetic feedback.

The Sustainiac® Stealth PRO contains the following features:

SUSTAINIAC DRIVER: The Sustainiac driver pickup replaces your neck pickup, it works as a regular pickup when sustainer is off. It's available in black or white, and in the following options:

● Humbucker

● Threaded Single (For Strat or pickguard)

● Direct-Mount Single (For mounting directly onto the guitar's body)

● 7 string Humbucker (Only available in Black)

The humbucker size driver is 84mm x 35mm x 22mm.

The single size driver is 84mm x 18mm x 22mm.

A threaded pickup is to be mounted onto a pickguard or pickup ring.

A direct-mount (or wood-mount) is mounted or screwed directly onto the guitar's body.

SUSTAINIAC MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD: The Sustainiac circuit board can be installed into most electric guitar electronics cavities with little or no routing. Measures 90mm x 30mm (without connectors).

There are 5 different types of main boards, depending on your bridge pickup type:

● Main Board for Passive humbucker (Such as Seymour Duncan JB - Most common)

● Main Board for Passive single coil or P-90

● Main Board for Active EMG

● Main Board for Active Fishman

● Main Board for Bass

In most configurations, the Stealth Pro has an ON/OFF control switch and also a 3-position MODE control switch (standard, mix and harmonic modes).

We offer 3 types of Auxiliary control boards:

The Aux-TT board (most popular) is 1.8 in. (46mm) wide x 1.8 in. (30mm) tall. (Requires 1.35 in. (35mm) cavity depth). The two toggle switches are spaced 1.00 inches (25.4mm) apart.

The AUX-RG board is the smallest Sustainiac switch board, to be positioned horizontally, while other Aux boards are placed vertically. Measures 40mm by 25mm. About 1 inch of depth is needed inside the cavity.

The AUX-JS board (Joe Satriani signature) has a sustain ON/OFF push/pull pot (also works as your tone pot) and a sustain MODE toggle switch. Measures 55m x 35mm.

Auxiliary boards are not required, you can use loose toggle switches, or push/pull pots for turning sustain On and Off, and to switch between modes.

Operation of Push/Pull pots:

Pot 1 (Volume):
● Pushed in: Sustain Off.
● Pulled out: Sustain On

Pot 2 (Tone):

● Pushed in, knob rotated full clockwise = Normal mode.
● Pushed in, knob rotated full counter-clockwise = Harmonic mode.
● Pulled out, knob rotated full clockwise = Mix mode.
● Pulled out, knob rotated full counter-clockwise = Harmonic mode (with a few harmonics being different than pushed in).
