Location: SoCal | I was in a Guitar Center last night and noted that a number of the new models had the OP40 electronics. But the new Elite T (still waiting for Ovation to say what the T stands for) has the OP30 (per the specs that Miles was given by Ovation and posted). Does anybody know what the difference is? |

Location: Scotland | Paul the "T" stands for "textured" as I suggested. AS far as I can tell the difference between the OP30 and OP40 is that the 40 has a feedback notch filter. Other than that they seem to be pretty much identical.

Location: Pennsylvania | Yep! I had to go to the German Ovation site to get the specs. (www.ovation.de) That site explains many of the questions that ovation.com doesn't explain.
(Theres an OP20 too that will be in all Celebrity models. Though cheaper, it still has the same chromatic tuner as the OP-30 and 40)
HERE's WHAT THEY SAY (roughly translated):
• The OP30 Preamp
The OP30 is identically constructed with the OP20, however with additional Mid SHIFT switch.
• More actively 3 tape EQ
• EQ Pre Shape switch for
• optimal basic sound
• EQ status switch for bypass function
• Mid SHIFT switch for changes between
• 400 cycles per second and 1 kHz of the center frequency
• inserted auto+chromatic
• Being correct device
• Battery status LED
--------------------------
• The OP40 Preamp
The OP40 Preamp is identically constructed with the OP30 Preamp, however with additional Notchfilter "anti feedback" system.
• More actively 3 tape EQ
• EQ Pre Shape switch for
• optimal basic sound
• EQ status switch for bypass function
• Mid SHIFT switch for changes between
• 400 cycles per second and 1 kHz of the center frequency
• inserted auto+chromatic
• Being correct device
• Notchfilter "anti feedback" system
• Battery status LED
---------------------------
So basically, the only difference between the OP-30 and the 40 is the Notchfilter anti-feedback thing.

Location: Scotland | Can I have a "Being Correct Device" fitted to my guitars. Might save embarrasment when the band kicks off a tune in A, and I sail into it in E, which happened last night. Oops!

Location: Pennsylvania | Yeah, those "Being Correct Devices" sure seem spiffy! Sadly, I only think they're available
when you badly translate German to English. ;)

Location: 6 String Ranch | Will that Being Correct Device put your fingers in the right spots? I still have trouble with that part of the playing concept. |
