Truly plug and play with minimal fussing around.

I've eyed the Eclipse off and on as a replacement in one of my Sonitone-equipped Martins, since I love the Aura VT Enhance in my expensive Martin. But I don't think the Sapele road series I have is exactly matched in the library, and I've had less success hooking it up to the Aura DI.
The Eclipse also looks a bit heavy and big, relatively speaking, so I wonder if it would affect the unplugged sound I love so much. But I really don't know if the VT Enhance on my other one is any less intrusive.
Tonedexter for now on the Sonitone!
