That's an add-on. Sounds like a Baggs Element UST with the volume control.

A couple things to consider/do:

1. Get a PADI or other preamp/DI for the Element. The standard T5 pickup system is balanced (lo-Z), so with the PADI you can run two balanced channels to the board.

2. Use a TRS-XLR balanced cable out from the original pickups, then get a Low-Z/Hi-Z transformer (XLR/TS). Get an A/B/Y box and plug both the Baggs pick up and the Balanced output into it, taking the single output of the box to the board or amp. You can now blend the two signals using the volume controls on the guitar.

3. Run the Baggs output to an acoustic amp, and the T5 pickup output to an electric amp.

You bought into a very versatile setup. Experiment and enjoy!!!
