Godin A4 generations question

[sidonbass]

I'm shopping for a Godin A4 fretless. I tried to contact Godin but no response so far. I have no interest in the "synth" ability. I do want the dual pickups and the ability to blend them. I know the current generation has the synth feature, but I'm not sure about the previous generation. Is it even possible that theres a previous generation that has the dual pickups (piezo and magnetic) but not the synth capabilities? I will get the current generation if there isn't an option. THANKS for educating me!

You'll probably get a response from Godin soon: last week there was a national holiday in Canada so perhaps their customer service folks took a long weekend.

But in the interim, as the owner of an A4 Ultra with synth output, I believe all of the A4 Ultra models have piezo and magnetic pickups that can be blended (maybe that's why the "Ultra" part of the name was added).

I think that only the first generation of the A4 Ultra included the 13-pin output for a synth, which was removed in the most recent generation.
