I'm in the market for a Solstice and now see no one is selling them online and went to this forum and it said discontinued, and a new version later this year, but not sure if that was written back in 2015. Any news or updates would be appreciated.

BUMP FOR 2016

Any updates from NAMM 2016 about this?

Nothing was announced at NAMM about the new version of the Solstice. I have heard the whole acoustic preamp line was being overhauled, but that was mid 2015. I'd assume it is still in the works.

I use L. R. Baggs Anthem and Lyric. Available right away.

I've got an LR Baggs Lyric myself and it's really impressive technology. All it needs is a good preamp and you're good to go.

Yeah I was talking about the Solstice pre-amp as I'm ok with the pickups in the guitar. I haven't tried the Lyric or Anthem but they come highly recommended.

I use the Mama Bear, and that is an amazing piece of technology. I would love to see an updated version as well.

BUMP!! I need a new Solstice, now! :)

I'd like to see the Solstice brought back also. And the Equinox. I've always wondered how both of those would work with electric guitar.

i was out in santa barbara years ago having lunch with duncan management and i brought up making electric versions of these, i still think its a great idea. looking forward to the new versions coming out!
 
Re: D-Tar Solstice: When was it discontinued and when is new version being released?

The only update is that there is work being done on the acoustic line this year, all good things. I have no dates, nor details yet (really, I don't).

Only judging from the specs, but I'm not sure you'd even need an "electric" version per se. They both seem like they could do excellent pre-amp duty for use with a power amp/speaker, or active monitors. Could be a killer studio setup.
 
Re: D-Tar Solstice: When was it discontinued and when is new version being released?

if you have an electric with a piezo then ive heard the duncan units sound really damn good. typical electric guitar pups, didnt sound great. i was thinking something that would add the ability to plug your X into and it would push it toward the tone/feel of Y. modeling should go deep and can produce fine, albeit not perfect, results
 
Re: D-Tar Solstice: When was it discontinued and when is new version being released?

The Mama Bear sounds really great with piezos in my electric. I used that for recording before. It doesn't record just like an acoustic (it would be great live), but it is a very useful sound.
