GUEST,Ray Tech: Amplifying acoustic guitar (40) RE: Tech: Amplifying acoustic guitar 10 Jul 19


You won’t get Alan Marshall at Northworthy to fit any sort of pickup nowadays as he retired over a year ago.

He struggled to fit an EMG under-saddle piezo to one of my guitars - couldn’t get the string balance right - so we settled on a Baggs iBeam with the EMG preamp. I’m currently running this through a TC “Bodyrez” pedal into an Acoustic Image Coda - which is really intended for double bass but works well with anything you care to plug into it.

I should say that I can also get a pretty decent sound from a Martin D18 within which I epoxied a Barcus Berry pickup over 40 years ago. The moral of this is that it’s not entirely down to the pickup but also what you plug it into.
