Gibson’s Dark Fire: Les Paul Reborn as RoboCop

It looks like the reasonGibson ’s ego - tune Robot guitarhad a circumscribed run is that the legendary guitar innovator had a much more insane 2nd phase already blueprinted up : Gibson ’s Dark Fire Les Paul - style digital guitar is the crowning shred - related scientific accomplishment of our time .

Think of it as the Robot plus theMoog synth guitarrolled into one . First and first of all , it ’s a guitarist ’s guitar , with three different variety of pickups — a humbucker , a individual - coil and a bridge - mounted piezo acoustic — all capable of chip in their speech sound to an original , constitutional blend of totally real guitar noise . Having anchored itself firmly in Gibson ’s custom , it ’s also become some crazy new material . Like the Robot , it ego - strain ( now up to 500 time on a exclusive battery charge ) , and using the “ Chameleon Tone Technology ” it is capable of producing “ every imaginable guitar auditory sensation , ” says Gibson .

The ship’s company is quite proud of the Master Control Knob — presumably with a bit of a Tron shoutout there — though I can only envisage that the “ advanced full color matrix display have LEDs and high - tech luminosity pipe technology ” takes a little bit of a rise up the learning curve . Those who know of Les Paul ’s guitar innovations will appreciate that Gibson is transmit on his tradition of ramification as a necessary agency for cool guitar tech . Some of Les ’ personal guitar hadtons of mostly unmarked switches on them , not to refer a few boxes off to the side . Speaking of boxes , a quite a little of the digital mojo is alleviate by the guitar ’s interface , the Robot Interface Pack , which has jacks on the front for the guitar and headphones . On the rear there ’s a FireWire connecter ( hear that , new MacBook shoppers ? ) and a whammy connector , which can be adjust for MIDI output . The good news show for suckers who buy the first - gen Robot is that the upgrade will be available to them at a price close to monetary value . ( My guess is they ’ll make the money on labor movement when you take your Robot in for the raise . ) Though Gibson wo n’t promise “ non-finite sustain ” like Moog , it does say that its body design have “ the Dark Fire one of the best - sustaining Les Pauls ever produce . ” Cool .
