A friend of mine just bought a pick-up for his gypsy guitar from this company. I was wondering if anyone has tried their resonator pick-up system?

Hi Todd,
I have there reso pick up and am very pleased with it. Seems to work well for moderate to fairly loud volumes...after that I make sure to go through the house system as well as my amp to help avoid feedback at the higher volumes...as with any pickup of this type, watch monitor placement. I have found this pickup to sound very close to microphone quality but....any of these type ( transducer)
will feed back in the right environment.
But I do find the paramaters for this pickup much wider than most.......best I have tried so far.....that being said, I also use and encourage the use of a good quality mic as well and try to use the pickup for a base line volume and "work" the mic for solos...have fun!

Todd,
I'd have to say I'm dissapointed with the Tri-Cone passive pickup I've bought. I've got a Johnson Tri-cone and the pickup mounts on the T-Bar of the cones. Compared to my other passive transducer acoustic/electric guitar, I've found the Schatten pickup to be very weak in output. I typicaly use a Zoom 505 preamp/effects box into a mixer/amp combo PA for any passive acoustic/electric instrument which as always worked fine. I've never used an "acoustic amplifier", so I don't know if that would help. I do have a Behringer preamp/mixer that would add some gain in the line, I just haven't tried it out. If an active pickup would've made that much of difference, I would suggest that route. |
