Now that I've seem that it costs 200+ more. I guess I would rather buy a mic to plug into the second channel.
Does the stereo version comes with the tone knob for dialing your tone easily without a preamp? |

Hey Scott, I've used the PUTW 54 and rather liked it but it didn't suit my needs as well as the simple LB6. The 54 is incredibly natural and has a very minor install so it's remarkable in that regard. It is very low-power, so an endpin preamp will go a long way. Many use the MiSi endpin but a 9 volt works well too. If I wanted to get the best of both worlds, with the naturalness of the 54 but with some additional stability, I might go with their Dynamic Trio or Duo with an active endpin. If you had them wired in stereo, you would have the additional flexibility to blend between the two based on the sound of the room. I don't think MiSi makes a stereo endpin, so they could only do a mono 50/50 blend or you could get the standard 9-volt endpin wired in stereo and control it with an outboard preamp. I'd ask Ana (sp?) at PUTW but they would probably have a recommendation but I would probably recommend one of their Dual configurations with an active endpin. Along with that, a good outboard preamp that can manage EQ, feedback, and possibly blend your pickups would also be a good addition. Feel free to PM with any other questions.

Do they have a phone number for PUTW, or is it strictly email contact? A buddy on here had a PUTW system that wouldn't fit his guitar, so we worked out a deal for me to acquire it. I believe it is the 54 system. How long have you used this rig, and what kind of guitar(s) do you have it installed in? I'm sure I'll have more questions. Thanks Much, Scott |

Sorry for the double post. Would love to hear from other AGFers who have installed and played the Pickup the World rig on one or more of their guitars. I love my Baggs and Trance units, but I'm a tone chaser from way back.
thanks! scott memmer |

Best 'plug and play' system
I don't think this question can be answered. In my experience, the pickup and the guitar work together, so a pickup may be much more effective in one guitar than it is in another.
That said, I have two a/e guitars that I would say perform beautifully in "plug and play mode" (no preamp, external EQ, or other box. Plugged directly into my amp or PA): 1. Taylor GS Mini-e Koa (ES2) - Frankly, I can't believe how great this guitar sounds plugged-in. I add a little bass (1:00) and a touch more treble (2:00), and I swear the guitar sounds better than it does straight acoustic (and it sounds fantastic straight acoustic). 2. Composite Acoustic OX RAW (L.R. Baggs Stage Pro) - Again, I am amazed how great this guitar sounds plugged-in, and the Stage Pro offers nice (and effective) on-board EQ and phase capability. Outstanding! Also, to reinforce my premise that it's the pickup+guitar, I have never liked the Baggs Element in any other guitar I've owned, but I LOVE it in the CA OX.
