ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC / modification for quiet foot-switches (2880, stereo memory man, cathedral)

« on: August 09, 2011, 11:32:19 am »

just swapped out the switches on my 2880 foot controller, stereo memory man with hazarai and cathedral. thought there would be someone here who might be interested / benefit from the quiet (and smoother) operation. the mod is very straight-forward - you just drop in soft-switches in place of the spdt switches that come stock on the pedals. they work great...just wondering why i didn't do it sooner.

ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC / ebow + acoustic w/under-saddle pickup ...?

« on: January 10, 2010, 04:37:13 pm »

anyone here use this combination? just curious if you get a decent signal from the ebow through an under-saddle pickup...

i am considering picking up an under-saddle pickup (the fishman matrix infinity specifically) for use on one of my acoustics as i find magnetic pickups just sound too magnetic/electric to my ears for some applications, but im curious whether they play well with an ebow or not...

i now use an acoustic with an active humbucker in it and it works well, but as many of you know the sound is almost always aggressive/distorted when using an ebow with magnetic pickups. i love the sound you get off of an acoustic with an ebow without any pickups - more pure tones than when you use a magnetic pickup. i am hoping this is more the result you get with an undersaddle pickup, as live applications with the amplification necessary for condensers to pick up the sound of an ebow with an acoustic are difficult without heaps of feedback.
