The Montreal is powered by two Godin humbucking pickups and
six saddle transducers. The signal from the saddle transducers
runs through a custom pre-amp featuring a volume and three
way EQ.
*Throughout this manual we refer to the humbuckers as magnet-
ics. The acoustic bridge pickups found on the Montreal are
referred to as bridge transducers.
Flexible Outputs
A look at the bottom of the Montreal reveals two ¼" outputs. The
output closest to the strap pin is a dual function jack. Used on its
own this serves as a mix out carrying the signal from the bridge
transducers as well as that of the magnetic pickups. Separate
volume controls on the guitar make it easy to mix the two sig-
nals. The second ¼" jack carries the signal from the magnetic
pickups on its own. When a cable is plugged into the magnetic
pickup jack the magnetic pickup signal is removed from the mix
output so that there is now a separate signal for each of the pick-
up systems.
One Cable in the Mix/Acoustic Output Jack
When using just one cable the signals from both pickup systems
are fed through the Mix/Acoustic output jack. The blend knob
allows you to control the amount of magnetic vs. acoustic bridge
transducer sound that is heard through your amplifier. In the cen-
ter position an equal amount of magnetics and bridge transduc-
ers are output. Turning the knob clock-wise will increase the
amount of bridge transducer heard in the mix. Turning the knob
counter clock-wise will increase the amount of magnetic sound
heard in the mix.
Using Two Cables
As mentioned above in "Flexible Outputs" when two cables are
inserted into the output jacks the signals are completely separat-
ed and the blend knob becomes a volume control for the bridge
transducers. This feature allows you to set up the bridge trans-
ducer volume and EQ settings on the pre amp and then control
the output using only the Blend/Acoustic knob.
