Shadow Electronics: a continuing tradition of acoustic innovation
Founded in 1971 in Erlangen, Germany, by Joe Marinic, Shadow Electronics has been shaping the sound of stringed instruments for five decades through its innovative pickup designs. Shadow Electronics is widely recognized as the inventor of the under-saddle acoustic guitar pickup, which was followed by the first violin pickup. The company continued revolutionizing acoustic pickup design throughout the 1970s and 1980s, introducing such landmark technologies as the first endpin output jack, the first dual pickup system combining piezo and magnetic elements, the first piezo bridge for electric guitars, and the world’s first active humbucker with a built-in EQ, alongside collaborations with artists such as jazz legend Attila Zoller. In 1987, Shadow Electronics expanded into guitar production, leveraging full control of manufacturing to perfectly match pickups to instruments, and continues to lead with trailblazing breakthroughs, including the NanoFlex and NanoMAG systems, Panaflex dual-sensor technology, and hexaphonic pickups. Sweetwater is proud to partner with Shadow Electronics, which is still owned and operated by its original founder and continues to cement its position as the industry’s foremost authority in acoustic amplification.
