How it works
1 — Plug in
Connect the Tabletop Humbucker to your amp, audio interface, or effects chain.
2 — Touch and explore
Strike, tap, or scrape metal objects over the pickup to bring out rich, resonant sound. Add the included soundboard and magnetic activator when exploring non-magnetic materials to capture vibrations from wood, glass, ceramics, and more.
3 — Shape your sound
Add effects processing to transform raw sounds into anything from delicate tones to unearthly noise.

Features
Silicone Suspension
Our custom silicone suspension isolates the pickup from unwanted mechanical vibrations, dramatically reducing handling noise. The result is a cleaner, quieter signal — ready for both stage and studio.
Ground Wire
The ground wire that comes with your Tabletop Humbucker helps eliminate unwanted noise. Just hold the wire or attach it to your skin to reduce interference from nearby electronics.
Specifications
Meet the maker
Hi! I’m Tobias Karlsson, the creator of Happy Dinosaur.
I was one of those kids who couldn’t resist disassembling things just to see how they worked.
The Tabletop Humbucker was born out of a wish to return to a more physical way of exploring sound and music.
As humans, we see and touch, feel and react — but a computer mouse or touch screen robs us of those primal sensations.
With the Tabletop Humbucker, I hope to help others rediscover the child-like joy of manipulating sound with their own hands. It's fun!
