But a magnetic pickup is a whole different animal isn't it? Replace those pole pieces with piezo crystals and stick that sucker upside down onto the bridge. Then it'll be a contact transducer.apl said:My acoustic is equipped with a Fishman Rare Earth Soundhole Humbucking pickup, so it's neither a microphone nor a piezo.
Can I play?
Beautiful playing, TR.Track Rat said:OK. I pulled this out of my ass only to prove the point. It's done on a Takamine EC132C nylon string guitar. Mood For A Day.

Well, however the rules end up being interpreted... a shrewd entry... I've always thought that "add 9" and maj 7 chords add a sweetness that no doubt has an effect on the psychoacoustic aspects of the tone. Cheater.apl said:This clip is my acoustic with the soundhole pup, dry, no fx, no reverb, no delays, and no compression, pulled out of an old project.
Timothy Lawler said:No, wait... if entries abandon the piezo for other recording methods and this morphs into a general acoustic rumble I will have won my argument with mshil won't I?

I love this piece you are playing.SoonerFan said:I haven't played my acoustic in a long time but this seemed like a good excuse to break it out. It's an Ibanez AW 100CE with Fishman piezo (at least I think its a piezo because the pickup seems to be behind inside around where the bridge is). DI through an external Soundblaster card into Cakewalk Home Studio. delay/chorus/EQ for effects.

snow lizard said:Are multitrack recordings permitted providing that there's nothing in them that didn't go through a piezo? I've got a Simon & Patrick acoustic with the piezo thingie, but my idea requires overdubs.

Dogman, some nice low range chord work with a little delay added. That's a pretty good sounding piezo on the low range of the gtr.
I'm closing in on a tolerable sound for my entry.
Who else is working on one besides Snow Lizard and me?
