More Body More Soul
The soul of your guitar is in the body - from the tone woods that it's made of, to the fine details 
in the way it was put together. Standard magnetic pickups hear only dry strings, resulting in an 
"electric" sound that omits the true acoustic voice of your guitar. In contrast, the M80 hears 
the entire frequency range of the tone woods, thereby contributing warmth and complexity 
to your amplified sound. 

The secret of the M80 is a patented, free-floating humbucking coil that acts as a 3D body sensor. 
As the soundboard resonates in all 3 dimensions, a proprietary suspension allows each axis of 
the humbucking coil to respond with the guitar's movement. A resonant body signal is produced 
and blended with the strings to faithfully capture your guitar like no other magnetic pickup 
ever created.

The M80 also gives you the choice of active or passive settings with the flick of the switch. 
The active setting engages a preamp with built-in EQ and audiophile circuitry for that 
 high-fidelity  sound Baggs is known for. Switch to the passive setting and bypass the 
preamp for a battery free performance. Other features of the M80 include a battery check, 
volume control and adjustable pole pieces for perfect balance between the strings.

LR BAGGS SESSION VTC

Inspired by the LR Baggs Handcrafted Video Sessions and our experience in some of 
Nashville’s great studios, the Session electronics were designed to impart the rich 
sonic character that you’d expect from an experienced audio engineer using some of 
the world’s finest studio gear. We’ve captured this studio magic and made it an 
integral part of your guitar for live performance with the Session VTC.

ANALOG WARMTH
Breathe life into your signal with additional harmonics for a superior, “natural warmth” 
and richness of tone. The Session VTC’s “tape-like” saturation is voiced specifically for 
the acoustic guitar and transports studio, analog warmth and inspiring 
playability to the stage.

DYNAMIC EQ
Like having your very own sound engineer responding to the way you play, this circuitry 
continually suppresses problematic frequencies common in live performances, allowing the 
best qualities of your guitar to come through the mix. The built-in low, mid, and high 
frequency compressors are essentially “touch-sensitive” EQs that respond in real-time 
to your dynamics. The harder you strum, the more they compress and vice versa.

THE PICKUP EQ
The Session VTC pairs studio electronics with our patented Element pickup for a polished 
sound on stage.  Engineered to mirror the soundboard’s actual movement as you play, a 
flexible sensor picks up the guitar’s most delicate nuances for the highest fidelity 
possible. Because the pickup tracks the motion of the top rather than the direct 
string attack, it mitigates the “quack” common in other undersaddle pickups and unlocks 
the Element’s unrivaled dynamic range.

FEATURES
- Analog warmth enhances sonic character and harmonic content
- Dynamic EQ smoothes out common problem frequencies
- Tone control sweeps between a wide range of warmth, clarity, and everywhere in between
- Phase inversion for best sound and feedback control
- Master volume
- Multi-segment battery check

Mandolin pickup
The Radius mandolin pickup is a hi-tech contact sensor that was designed to emulate the sound 
of a mic without the instability associated with microphones. The pickup installs easily to the
 instrument with mounting putty that is non-destructive to its finish. Inside of the pickup’s 
housing is a highly flexible film sensor that responds much like a mic diaphragm. The sensor 
is held in equilibrium and damped by opposing neodymium magnets that allow the pickup to 
respond to the instruments most subtle nuances.

Mounting putty
Clear adhesive pads
Permanent VHB pads
External jack mount 






               
               

LR Baggs Violin

Our Violin Pickup is a miniature vibration sensor cast directly into a Superieur 
Despiau “Two Tree” maple bridge for maximum sensitivity and signal transfer. 
As an integral part of the bridge, it effortlessly captures the instrument’s 
inherent dynamics. Furthermore, its selective admittance pattern is aligned 
so that the signal is generated as the bridge moves in a left-right motion 
(in response to the string vibrations). The pickup also rejects any impulse 
directed to the plane of the bridge- minimizing annoying finger squeaks, 
body noise and feedback. It is the pickup of choice for top pros like 
Mark O’Connor, Darol Anger, Jean-Luc Ponty and Sara Watkins. 
An external preamp is recommended.
