LR Baggs SESSION-VTC Acoustic Guitar Pickup

LR Baggs SESSION-VTC Acoustic Guitar Pickup

Inspired by the LR Baggs handcrafted video sessions and our experience in some of Nashville’s finest studios, the Session electronics were designed to impart the rich sonic character you'd expect from an experienced audio engineer using top-tier studio gear. We've captured this studio magic and made it an integral part of your guitar for live performance with the Session VTC.

Studio Tools for the Stage

Analog Warmth
Breathe life into your signal with additional harmonics for a superior, natural warmth and richness of tone. The Session VTC’s tape-like saturation is specifically voiced for acoustic guitar, bringing studio analog warmth and inspiring playability to the stage.

Dynamic EQ 
Imagine having your very own sound engineer responding to the way you play. This circuitry continually suppresses problematic frequencies common in live performances, allowing the best qualities of your guitar to shine through the mix. The built-in low, mid, and high-frequency compressors act as touch-sensitive EQs, responding in real-time to your dynamics. The harder you strum, the more they compress, and vice versa.

The Pickup - Unrivalled Dynamic Range

The Session VTC pairs studio electronics with our patented Element pickup for a polished sound on stage. Engineered to mirror the soundboard’s actual movement as you play, a flexible sensor captures the guitar’s most delicate nuances for the highest fidelity possible. By tracking the motion of the top rather than the direct string attack, the pickup mitigates the quack commonly found in other undersaddle pickups, unlocking the Element’s unrivalled dynamic range.
