Congratulations on your purchase of the GHOST™ Hexpander System! Using
the highest quality components and state of the art design, the Ghost Hexpander
System perfectly complements the latest midi, hexaphonic and/or virtual
devices. Experience fast and accurate tracking that absolutely smokes...
without volume dropouts or dead spots! The Ghost Hexpander System is your
gateway to the innite world of hexaphonic, virtual and midi possibilities.
• The GHOST Modular Pickup System consists of custom engineered piezo pick-
ups individually calibrated and supplied as a matched set. They are available in
a variety of different saddle styles. Refer to the Graph Tech catalog for the correct
saddle to suit your guitar before proceeding.
• The Hexpander Pre-amp works in conjunction with the Ghost Pickups. It
amplies signals from up to six individual strings and sends them via a standard
13-pin connector to an external MIDI converter or sound processor. You get a
world of synthesised MIDI instruments or a universe of analog sounds, all based
on the crystal clear acoustic signal. The installation is completely independent of
the original magnetic pickups of your instrument.
• The Hexpander can be used alone or together with the Acousti-Phonic pre-
amp; the two units just plug together. You get all the benets of the Acousti-
Phonic pre-amp - the fat equalised Ghost sound, blending with the original
magnetic pickups, auto-switching stereo jack and optional switches and controls
- and all the benets of the Hexpander. Plus, the units work together to deliver
blended sounds over the 13-pin interface, and more.
This guide describes installing the GHOST Modular Pickups and the GHOST
Hexpander Pre-amp in your guitar.
Welcome to a World of Possibilities!
