MIDI Technology
Hex MIDI Pickup
Each string’s signal is captured individually by the precision-mounted hex mag MIDI pickup. This pickup feeds data directly to Jamstik’s onboard processors, bypassing the need for bulky external devices.
Onboard Processors
Jamstik uses onboard processors built inside the back of the guitar, offloading work from your computer. Wired USB connection ensures low latency, providing unmatched responsiveness.
Powered via USB
The Core is designed to work with any device with a USB-C input: use with your phone, tablet, or computer.
TRS-MIDI Output
Use the included 3.5mm TRS-5-PIN MIDI adapter cable to control analog hardware.
Analog Guitar Features
The Core is a 3/4 sized, solid-body electric guitar with a full 22-frets, standard 25.5" scale length, single humbucker, volume control, and a 1/4" guitar output. So you can use it as your main electric guitar with amps, interfaces, guitar fx plugins, pedalboards, virtual amp simulators, etc.
You can also record analog and MIDI signals simultaneously to layer your tracks with rich analog tones and versatile digital effects. This versatility makes Jamstik perfect for live performances, studio sessions, or experimenting with hybrid sounds.
Practice, produce, compose, and teach all with one instrument.
