About this pedal

Larry Fishman developed the Signature Series Aura Pedal with a world-class 
team of professionals, including musician Jerry Douglas, recording studio engi-

neer Bil VornDick, and reknowned resonator builder Paul Beard, to bring you the 
most realistic amplifi ed tone available. Night after night, or any time you record, 
this pedal lets you reproduce the tone that can only be created by such trade 
masters.

In order to fully realize the benefi ts of this pedal, we recommend using the 
Nashville Series resophonic pickup to amplify your resonator guitar. For the best 
sound reproduction, connect your Aura Imaging Pedal to an acoustic instrument 
amp, a PA system, a powered monitor or other full-range system.

A word from Jerry Douglas

“After all these years of fi ghting microphones and feeling tied to one square foot 

of stage fl oor, I really believe we have the answer to every acoustic instrumental-

ist’s dreams: a realistic sounding system that empowers the voice of our favorite 
instruments.”
