Overview

Crafted with premium Hawaiian koa and equipped with state-of-the-art Fishman F1 Aura+ electronics

Offered exclusively to Martin dealers in attendance at the Winter Anaheim NAMM trade show, the rare GPCPA Koa is a spectacular example of the builder' art. Limited to an edition size of fifteen, this beauty is crafted with premium Hawaiian koa, extensive hand-inlaid pearl and state-of-the-art Fishman F1 Aura+ electronics.

Fishman F1 Aura Plus
Features the stunning realism of award-winning Aura Acoustic Imaging technology in a distinctive and easy to use onboard preamp system. The heart of this onboard intelligence is its ability to replicate the sound of nine different world-class studio microphones. Delivered in an intuitive menu driven interface that is very versatile with controls placed in perfect position for total ease of operation while performing. Controlled with two low profile control buttons and a single large, bright LED display. Placed in perfect position for total ease of operation while performing.

NEW! Enhanced "Easy Mode" Simplifies Operation
F1 Aura+ offers a simplified set of user controls called Easy Mode. This mode allows you to quickly get a feel for the tonal possibilities of F1 Aura+ while providing quick access to the most important features you™ll need every day.

Simply press the Tone control to step through 3 custom-blended Aura Image presets as well as audition the uneffected, Gold Plus pickup sound. The one-knob Tone control blends between a natural, undersaddle sound with no EQ (flat) on up to a œscooped tone with emphasized treble & bass and reduced midrange.

Same great performance and power!
For the real tone-tweakers, Fishman has retained the original Performance Mode as well, giving you full access to F1 Aura' powerful 3-band EQs, compressor and automatic anti-feedback.
