It can be an iffy situation when deciding what to install in a guitar for amplification. After I installed my first Trance system, within an hour I called Gary to order another system for another installation. Of course, the Trance systems are single source although the Trance stereo system can accept a UST or magnetic system but, as you mentioned, it would mean removing one of the Amulet pickups to free an input for a second type of source. For me, I like the sound of just the Trance by itself and feel I don't need to add anything else to it to get a really good amplified acoustic tone. The single-source Taylor ES2 is similar in this regard. I'm glad you've found what I've posted informative and I hope it helps you in deciding what system to go with in your amplified tone quest.

I played in my praise band this morning with my Epiphone AJ-500M that has a B-Band onboard. It sounded pretty good, as far as I could tell. I've heard good things overall about that K&K system with the internal mic. However, others have stated they had major feedback issues in many settings. I don't know; I'm just reporting what I hear. Thanks! CL |

Thanks, though. I'll call Gary when I get closer to ordering. |

Charmed: I had a Trance Mono in a Gibson SJ that I recently sold to finance a Gibson Legend. Loved that pickup, just stunning all around. Wanted tp put one in the Legend, but its bridge plate isn't wide enough. So take a peak under the hood and make sure you have enough area, then you are good to go ! Again just love the Trance had a stereo in a Gibson Jackson Browne model - loved it.

Why did you sell the the JB Gibson model? Are they as good as I've heard? I've never played one. A couple quick questions: 1) Did you have any feedback issues ever with the Trance rig? I've heard rumors this can be an issue. 2) Did the install dampen or reduce volume at all? I can't see how it would, but someone told me this could be an issue. Thanks again. On the run to work and will check in later.... CL |
