Unamplified effects and more
Yamaha’s groundbreaking TransAcoustic technology delivers onboard reverb, chorus, and delay effects. What sets TransAcoustic guitars apart from other instruments with onboard effects is that they don’t require any external amplification. You also get a built-in looper, enabling you to craft intricate, layered performances right from your instrument. Engage the looper and effects via the simple-to-use controls, and you’ll be able to deliver immersive, ambient performances — no amp or PA required. And when it’s time for the gig, you can access those same stellar tones plugged in, thanks to the guitar’s state-of-the-art TransAcoustic System76 electronics.
How it works
The key to the TransAcoustic is an integrated actuator, a small device hidden inside the guitar. The vibration of the instrument’s strings causes the actuator to vibrate; these vibrations are transmitted to the guitar body and the air around the guitar. The result is authentic reverb and chorus — without the need for any additional amplification or effects.
Top-notch build quality
While it’s easy to get distracted by the TAS3 C TransAcoustic’s cutting-edge electronics, here at Sweetwater, we’re equally as impressed by its exemplary build quality. You’ll delight in the direct, punchy tone and expansive dynamic yielded by this acoustic-electric guitar’s solid A.R.E. Sitka spruce top, which is reinforced by a solid mahogany back and sides. The TAS3 C’s mahogany neck offers incredible playing comfort, matched by a smooth, easy-playing ebony fingerboard. You also get impressive volume, projection, and balance by virtue of this guitar’s concert-style body. Finally, an elegant Venetian cutaway provides easy access to the guitar’s entire fretboard.
