As long as we don't have to wear Bell-bottoms with Paisley shirts when we gig… It will be interesting to see what happens to any redesign/repackaging of their products. |

I guess it certainly wasn't made for this but I wouldn't go without my Solstice

There's nothing surprising in the PMBII design. It's pretty much off the shelf parts. Just about any competent amp tech could service the unit. |

This is interesting news (Dtar being discontinued)....Two weeks ago I was so impressed with the used Mama bear I got on CL for $120 that I immediately snapped up a second one and an Equinox. I'm building an acoustic pedalboard and it's apparent the Dtar products are sort of awkward - are you supposed to keep the EQuinox on a flattened music stand? pedal format would be cool - but I can't really get on my knees as well.

Dtar to leave the room
I am sad to hear that. I have just bought a sadducee for my lxk2 martin. It really boosts the mic'd sound nicely, and is tolerable without mic too. Good output for a passive pickup.

My understanding is that Rick Turner sold his share to Seymour Duncan and is no longer involved with D-Tar.
I should be getting my Felix by the end of the week, or perhaps the following and plan to take it to Wolf Trap to put it through the PA (L'Acoustic VDOSC Line Array, Lake Processors, Lab Gruppen amps, Digico SD7 console) and listen to it with both something simple as the Radial J48 as well as the Felix, set flat for an instrument with a K&K. I don't have any of the other preamp-di's mentioned to A/B them. I'll post my results as soon as I get a chance and I'll include the impressions of my colleagues there. The D-Tar stuff is great in the <$600 price point.

I've used a DTAR Solstice with a Schertler Jam150 extension (powered speaker) for awhile and I'm pretty happy with it. I may not be able to hear the difference with my Sunrise and K&K equipped guitars or maybe I will, but I still want a Felix if it makes any sense at all.

So what's the status on DTAR? any new products under Seymore Duncan?

Last night I stumbled across the DTAR Wavelenth system which I pulled out of one of my guitars. I just haven't had the heart to put it on ebay. It served me awfully well for $120.
I wish Rick Turner all the best, whatever he's up to now. |

I heard they're gonna change the brand name to RA-DAR (Rebranding Advice - Duncan Acoustic Research).
