RADIAL DRAGSTER PICKUP LOAD CORRECTO - Part Number 000177
Dragster pickup load corrector Stand-alone Drag control� load correction Pickup impedance load for wireless systems Regains your guitar's full natural tone Compact - lightweight aluminum construction Bracket for guitar strap or pedalboard attachment Restore the full rich tone you lose when you plug your guitar into a wireless transmitter or other types of buffered inputs like those of effects, mixers, sound cards or recorders. Dragster's exclusive Drag� control makes passive pickups think (and sound like) they're connected directly to a amplifier input by allowing you to precisely dial in the correct amount of impedance loading. Result? Your guitar tone regains it's warmth � it feels 'right' again and your performance sounds great! The Draster's built-in mounting flanges make it a breeze to attach to a guitar strap and it's unobtrusive size and light weight won't slow you down. Few guitar accessories offer the tremendous 'bang-for-the buck' of a Dragster. You will use it on everything. Dragster - another creative tool to make you sound better from the tone fanatics at Radial! Dragster Development The idea for a stand-alone Drag� control device came as the natural evolution of Drag control's presence on several other Radial devices, such as the JD7� guitar signal splitter-reamper, the JDV� direct box and SGI� Studio Guitar Interface as well as the Tonebone Switchbone�, Loopbone� and others. Radial JD7 - first Radial device with Drag� control . Radial JDV DI with Drag. Tonebone Loopbone with Drag control. The benefits of the Drag� control on these devices has been such that many players and engineers were asking us for a way to get Drag added to the guitar signal before wireless transmitters and other buffered devices that cause the true tone of the guitar to be compromised. The trick was to get this Drag control into a package that doesn't interfere with the player using it on stage. It had to be small, light weight and easy to attach to a guitar strap or belt. Several prototypes were made and the final result meets all of the design objectives perfectly. Using the Dragster Insert the dragster between your guitar and device, such as a wireless transmitter using the two 1/4" jacks on the Dragster. Either jack will work as input and output�it makes no difference. Adjust the 'Less-More' Drag adjustment to establish a pickup loading that suits your guitar/amp combination � it should result in a sound the same as if you plugged the guitar directly into your amp. The slotted flanges can be secured to your guitar strap with velcro or nylon cable ties. For a more permanent installation you can sew the Dragster on to your strap through the flange slots. How Drag� works: What happens when you plug a guitar directly into typical tube amp is very different than what happens when you plug into a buffered device, mixer or effect. The amplifier presents an optimal load to the guitar pickup for which it is designed. Other devices change this natural load and the signal from the pickup is altered. Certain frequencies are emphasized or removed and the guitar looses it's warmth and rich harmonic tone. Drag control, simply put, restores the optimal loading on the pickup so that no matter what device comes next, the pickup always sees the correct impedance load, just as if it were plugged directly into the amp.
Regains your guitar's full natural tone! 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985
