Warp Drive
Dual Source Pickup
Blend the two best pickup types into one. The Warp Drive allows you to blend the warmth of
the EMG magnetic with the natural shimmery sound of the Schatten piezo. The EMG ACB has a nice thick sound with smooth transients and details mids.
Then blend in the piezo- which captures the rich harmonics that accurately reflect the banjo's top end.
Just like our banjos, these are built by hand right in our Nechville shop in Minnesota.
The Warp Drive is mounted with the help of a very tough spring. It is designed for our resonator banjos, as the resonator
conceals and protects the electronics. Inquire about the adapted Warp Drive that fits coordinator rod banjos.

The system is fantastic! Banjo sounds better than ever and I get lots of compliments from sound engineers.

For years I had just accepted that banjos don't sound good plugged in. That's all changed now that I've gotten the Warp Drive pickup. It has allowed me to sound on stage just like I do practicing at home and has made my job so much easier!

I received the Warp Drive and it's installed. Just wanted to let you know it is working great. As far as banjo pickups go, I have never had the best luck with getting the right sound. This Warp Drive is getting everything I want out of volume and clarity.

That pickup system is fabulous. Simple to install, clear and dynamic. The dynamics and sensitivity are surprising and just fantastic.
