Alistair & Davy Discuss The HyVibe Pickup System - Emerald Guitars 

Well done, thanks for making this video you guys. Just ordered an X20 with the HyVibe system this week. My first Emerald, I’m so excited i can’t wait! Cheers, Mark in Oregon

My emerald x7 hangs in my wall and it’s stayed in tune perfectly for about a year now without having to tune it. That’s amazingly cool in my opinion

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply, having a Chimera with a HyVibe unit was just a thought, if I win a chimaera without one, I'd be just as happy. Have a nice day, guys, Trajan

This is definitely my dream guitar now?

Excited to get mine! Should be fun & keep me busy playing and learning new things!

Thanks for posting this video! I've been hoping to hear what the HyVibe sounds like in an Emerald. Great demo.

That is freaking crazy and fantastic.

I’m ready for this! 😉👍🌴

Nice… helps clear some questions up I have about mine… of course I still have more questions… lol

Amazing tech. Do you hear any differences based on different body sizes for the guitars? Does the Hyvibe sound different on X30 vs X7?

Great review… Davy is playing a small body X7. My questions: #1. How does the sound of the effects change as you go up to X10-20-30, with increasing body volume? Do the effects gain volume / depth, as the body size increases, or does it stay consistent? #2. Can the “boost” be combined with other effects thru the APP? Thanks!

So SWEET Davy and Alistar! Great sound and this isn't a gimmick. I absolutely love an acoustic with a touch of chorus. The simplicity of it seems brilliantly designed. Mark Bouquet- One Happy client out of how many so far??? You're getting known around Chicagoland in Illinois. I turned many friends on to my Virtuo that hadn't heard of you yet and ALL were blown away!

It sounds great... a question - when you plug it in to a PA out the 1/4 inch jack... does it defeat the effects coming out of the soundhole/guitar or is the effect still on? Can you defeat the in-guitar effect when plugging into PA or vice versa?

I really like the look of the guitar. Is that the vibrant weave or regular?

I have 4 Emeralds. I wish at least one had the Hyvibe. Any way I can ship one back so you could put one in?

His Grin is the best proof how great it is :D I didn't spot Wah - that would be the first I'd ask for!

Definitely yes 👏

Bravo Alistair! I will definitely custom built my dream X10 with HyVibe! Soon O' Soon! :)

I know the HyVibe is not a feature on the Virtuo....but it should be! The ability to use the bluetooth option to jam along to BT's would be a massive plus for the hybrid electric model (as well as all the other features that the HyVibe offers). Surely, the versatility of carbon would allow for a section of the back of the guitar to be 'enlarged' to allow for the HyVibe installation. It might spoil the aesthetics of the build....but I would welcome it just to be able to jam on a virtuo to a loop or a BT of my choosing....

Okay, I can stop looking. They is now my grail guitar. Perfect size for me and nearly indestructible.

Dude YOU rock

Does the tuner allow you to change the base frequency tuning say to 432hz?

Always wonder what those "smart" guitar will look like in 10 years. Hope HyVide will still make new version that fit in the same spot.

Does the guitar you're playing there have the standard neck width, or is it a bit wider?

Damn, I want!

Hi, guys, I'd like to ask when will you make available the HyVibe Pickup System available on the CHIMAERA guitars? Chimaera is a guitar that needs either another pair of hands, or a set of skills not that easy to obtain. However, With an incorporated looping effect, everything becomes a sweet dream, easy and satisfying...

I’m in shock , it makes want to sell all my guitars and just have one of them , WOW👍👌

Can you please tell me where in southwest England can I get the HyVibe Pickup System installed on my Emerald Guitar? I have a Chimaera double-neck carbon fiber 12-string & 6-string.

Got my X20 with the Hy Vibe system just before Christmas, haven't stoped plying it, this system opens up a new world of creativity, truly a fantastic instrument, that said I am interested in the app that Davy uses on the video discussing the Hy Vibe, does anyone know how and where to obtain this app, may have to contact emerald for any info on this. Anyone thinking of getting an emerald guitar I can and would recommend the Hy Vibe system, brilliant.

Does it affect the tone or sustain of the guitar? I worry about it acting like a damper on the face of the guitar? What I'm asking is do you compromise the acoustic tone of the guitar by adding this? Thanks.

I had a lag hyvibe but Im irish n wanna go green ....a couple things you guys missed ....I dont know if you know this either but there is a footpeddle that links up to it and you can loop with that n add reverbs and also I dont know if you knew but it actually has a input and apart from the blue tooth I used my lag hyvibe as a amp for my electric just messed around n tried it for a laugh .... but it worked ... O totally agree with you about this system and am gunna save n buy one of yours ... I have not heard one without the system on tho....edit f me 2300 ,,,need to do more buskin first ....do you not give sligo boy discounts .?

Do you have HyVibe units in stock? Any dealers in the U.S.? HyVibe is very compelling and your guitars are very beautiful.

How much does that guitar cost with all those sounds. This is awesome. I wish I would of seen this before I bought my Taylor. What do you do if therebis a problem. What do you do, where can you go to get it fixed

Do you have any info on how long the batteries last in that processor unit? I've used the Tonewood Amp in the past, which seems like a similar concept, but the batteries don't last long, and they're a pain to change.

Can you put it on a Solace at the building stage?? Cheers

You said available on all guitars but won’t fit on a Virtuo will it?

Harp guitar? Chimaera?

That's right... we bad... That's right

Wonder what the system adds to the price?

You say it is across the whole range but you can’t put it on a Slimline X10 or Virtuo or Kestrel can you?

Foot pedal control?

Alistair I am certain that you are going to make me broke. 😀

Davy is a little hard to hear. Did you say this a x7?

Oh, now you've done it. Can this be retro-fitted on an existing Emerald?
