The SynQuaNon Hex Clean Output Pickup (Blue PCB) has an active polyphonic design using twelve individual string coils arranged in six humbucking pairs. The individual string outputs are routed separately through dedicated two-stage voltage-controlled distortion circuits.

This approach creates a unique distortion sound full of rich harmonics and devoid of the usual distasteful intermodulation distortion in typical mono pickups.

The six distorted signals are summed in an output mixer amplifier for the final mono output via an EMG-compatible header; the six clean coil signals are buffered and made available through the 10-pin HEX COILS OUT header for processing by BOSS/Roland GK Synthesizers.
