Description
This module is inspired by Fender’s Mute system found in some Jaguar and Bass VI guitars where a piece of foam can be engaged to press against the string dampening their natural vibration. while not as intense as a standard palm mute and achieving a diferent tone.
For this module we use a servo motor that raises and lowers a piece of foam that when pressed against the strings lightly dampens their natural vibration.
While not as effective as a standard palm mute it allows a different tone to be automated.
To be the most effective this module needs to be connected as close to the headstock as possible.
This is a passive module, to use it one needs to connect its servo to an ADDAC124 Plectrums.
This module can either replace one of the plectrums servos, disconnecting it to connect this module or connected in parallel with one of the plectrums servos using the provided splitter cable operating both the plectrum and mute at the same time. The Mute is always controlled by the ADDAC124.
The foam part height can be adjusted.
