Northfield’s new EleOcto is a unique electric octave mandolin that uses a chambered solid-body design. In this video, Northfield founder Adrian Bagale demonstrates the instrument’s innovative electronics, which include a Seymour Duncan magnetic pickup and a Kapsule piezo pickup. Adrian shows how the two pickup can be sent to separate amps for taking full advantage of the EleOcto’s acoustic and electric sound, how to route effects, and more.
