Default IRIG acoustic pickup

anyone tried this? It sounds good on the demo
but I doubt it sounds great. You never know though.

Looks interesting, not that expensive either.

I've had one for six months and love it. Play through a pair of powered speakers. Nice to play different guitars amplified. Easy access to different types of amps using my iPad. Good product, not much money.

Mine arrived yesterday. It sounds good through my little practice amp. So far I'm convinced. It seems an inexpensive alternative to a permanent pickup installation with the added benefit of only needing one.

Hmm, that acoustic stage looks cool - I wonder how that would sound with a Taylor ES2-equipped guitar blended with the acoustic mic... may have just suffered a bout of GAS...

I expect this thread to get moved to "Acoustic Amplification" forum.

But it looks like a very interesting product. I wonder how it'd do on a stage with monitors shooting back at you. The blend feature looks nice, as well as the feedback suppression. But other soundhole mics have touted similar features in teh past and failed to live up to their claims in real life. Internal mics are a big feedback machine normally.

But it sure looks interesting.

Yes, I honestly think if a company would combine something such as K&k and an internal mic that might be the best route. K&k sounds pretty nice, but lacks a bit of realism. Usually mic mounts are too bright and lack depth. Thus, I think the marriage of these two into a single platform would be really nice. Think of an LR baggs lyric with a k&k as as one piece that is glued in.
Hmmmm

The iRig Stage version has a blend function so you can mix your internal pickup with the iRig mic.
