Paul Simon & the Trance Audio Amulet M
According to Bill Asher, it looks like ol' "Rhymin' Simon is on-board now. He's using the Amulet M, according to a Facebook post by Trance Audio's Gary Hull. Very cool.

And apparently a custom wireless model, too. Probably something people have to consider as well, before buying this system.

I tried to listen to clips of Paul playing over the past month to see how the Trance sounds but the quality of the videos is poor. There are a couple good ones though. The only issue with the Trance that I keep hearing is this weird mid range, almost magnetic quality to the pickup. That's a terrible way to explain it but when I listen to Dazzo or K&K pickups, I hear a woodier, more natural tone. It's the only thing that has kept me from ordering the Amulet M so far.

Technically, sure. But it's not like going wireless adds any sonic benefit that cable-using Trance users should need a disclaimer for. If anything, I'd bet good money that wireless will never trump wired when it comes to signal chain fidelity.

Maury, I have heard some great stories from Teddy about the Trance and Dazzo. In a way, they both had their beginnings from the old FRAP. The two share some similarities in the way they function. Without giving details, there is a reason that the Trance by design will naturally cut through a band mix easier than a Dazzo. The Dazzo, also by design, should sound more woody. It's all about what's inside the little triangle or rectangular prism that makes it that way.
Btw, I have posted a few clips from my iPhone recently of Teddy and his Dazzo equipped 1945 Gibson with everything set flat. As for the OP, Paul Simon probably made a great choice of pickup for his needs.

That's great news. I saw him two years ago in Glasgow and his tone was awful.

I don't personally play wireless, yet, but should the day come, it would be nice to have support for it. |

Would this be the Trace? It's 2016 but he has a cord?

P.S. Maybe, Gary Hull doesn't need to advertise because he gets enough orders for Trance products without having to do so? Don't know, maybe.

I think Vancebo is referring to these two videos:

That Blackbird Dazzo clip sounds really good!
