iceTone™
This control allows the blending of the tailored piezo transducers
built into each individual string saddle. iceTone is a patented
LightWave Systems piezo design that was specifically developed
to avoid the clack and harshness typical of piezos while integrating
seamlessly with the LightWave Optical Pickup. The result is a
smooth, natural sounding high frequency enhancement ranging
from crisp high end to percussive presence. iceTone cannot be
selected separately, but is added to the optical signal as the control
knob is turned up.
Tone Shaping
If you wish to use EQ to shape your sound, you can use any
amount desired to create subtle or dramatic tonal variations
without tonal artifacts. Since the output of the LightWave Optical
Pickup is pure and transparent, you will be augmenting the sound
of the string alone, as opposed to the inherent response curves and
background noise found in conventional pickups.
