Special circuits Custom MIND Music Labs's ELK MusicOS system built into the guitar running Arturia Prophet Synth

In an interview in 2019, Matt's guitar tech Chris Whitemyer mentioned Matt wanted to play synth on the new tour. When at the 2019 winter NAMM show, he approached the MIND Music Lab booth, organising the first meeting with MIND, Fishman and Arturia right at the show floor.[1]

In less then a month, they designed and engineered a custom built Prophet V guitar, presumably based around the Matt Black Stealth.

Bellamy first got the guitar one week before the show and he tested it by leaving it on for the whole week, continuously turning it on and off, jumping up and down with it and bouncing it off a matress. Withstanding the Bellamy test, he first used it at the first show of the tour. According to his tech, it ran flawlessly.

The guitar is exactly the same as the Matt Black Stealth model range, except that it includes a humbucker Sustainiac pickup and it has the custom synth installed in it.

The Prophet Stealth was also used for Madness during the Houston gig, allthough the guitar choice for Madness was, on later gigs of the US tour (before Matt got the Manson TronCaster), reverted back to the Manson Matt Black Stealth.
