Multi-Output (MO) System
The Inspiria Multi-Output System is a unique and revolutionary approach to the electric guitar pickup, created to dramatically expand the tonal possibilities of a six-string guitar.
At the heart of the system is the MO pickup, developed by Inspiria to give guitarists something fundamentally different from a conventional two-pickup configuration.
Instead of limiting the player to the traditional choices of bridge pickup, neck pickup, or both, the MO System divides the two humbuckers into independently selectable sections. This makes it possible to create combinations between different groups of strings on the bridge and neck pickups, as well as access single-coil configurations.
The result is 16 distinct sounds from one guitar.
The Story Behind the MO System
The Multi-Output System was originally conceived by Inspiria Guitars artist Enrico Benvenuto, guitarist of the Italian metal band Dammercide.
At the time, Enrico was playing together with Demetrio Scopelliti, CEO of Inspiria Guitars. Their collaboration led to the development of an entirely new pickup concept built around one central idea:
What if a guitarist could access and combine different sections of the pickups instead of being limited by the traditional pickup selector?
From that idea, the Multi-Output System was born.
The concept takes a traditional two-humbucker configuration and divides the two pickups into four independently selectable sections, allowing groups of three strings to be selected and combined between the bridge and neck positions.
Together with the possibility of switching to single-coil operation, this creates a total of 16 different tonal configurations.

How Does the Multi-Output System Work?
The MO System gives the guitarist significantly more control over how the bridge and neck pickups interact.
Rather than simply selecting one complete pickup or the other, the system allows different three-string sections of the two pickups to work together in combinations that would not normally be possible on a conventional electric guitar.
This means that a single instrument can move between familiar full humbucker sounds, single-coil sounds and completely different hybrid configurations created by the Multi-Output architecture.
See It for Yourself
The diagram below shows the different pickup combinations available through the MO System, including the single-coil configurations.
16 Sounds. One Instrument.
The Multi-Output System was created for musicians who don't want their creativity to be limited by their instrument.
Its 16 available sounds provide an exceptionally broad tonal palette.
You can access the power and character of traditional humbuckers, move into more focused single-coil territory, and explore unique combinations between the bridge and neck pickups that simply don't exist in a conventional pickup configuration.
Some of these combinations can even produce an almost piezo-like or acoustic-like character, opening another dimension for clean and distorted sounds, layered arrangements, recording and sound design.
For musicians working with multiple layers of guitars, different effects, complex arrangements or experimental tones, this flexibility can completely change the way a single guitar is used.
The idea is simple:
More combinations. More textures. More layers. More creative freedom.
Inside the System
For those who want to understand what is happening underneath the surface, the following diagram shows the wiring architecture behind the Multi-Output System and how the different pickup sections are connected and controlled.
Despite the number of sounds available, the system is designed to remain intuitive for the player. The additional functionality is integrated directly into the guitar's controls rather than requiring an external device.
The push-pull controls provide access to the additional pickup functionality and single-coil options while keeping the guitar practical and familiar to use.
The MO System includes the required "Push/Pull" potentiometers as part of the complete installation.

Technical diagrams can explain how the system works.
But the most important thing is what it sounds like.
In the video below, Enrico Benvenuto and Demetrio Scopelliti demonstrate and explain the Multi-Output System, showing how the different pickup configurations change the character and possibilities of the instrument.
The MO System on an Inspiria Guitar
The Multi-Output System can be integrated into our six-string instruments, giving the player the familiar feel and identity of an Inspiria guitar with an entirely different level of tonal flexibility.
The Multi-Output option is currently available for our six-string models:
This means you can choose the Inspiria instrument that fits your playing style and equip it with the Multi-Output System to dramatically expand what that guitar can do.
Built for Musicians Who Refuse to Be Limited
The Multi-Output System isn't about adding complexity for the sake of complexity.
It's about possibility.
It's for musicians who see the guitar as more than a fixed collection of sounds. It's for players who want to experiment, layer, record and create without being restricted by the conventional relationship between two pickups.
From powerful humbuckers and articulate single coils to unusual hybrid combinations and almost acoustic-like textures, the MO System turns one guitar into a much broader creative platform.
16 sounds. One instrument. Far fewer limits.
