Martin D-18 with Schatten HFN Artist Plus 2
Prior to likely soon removing the Schatten HFN Artist Plus 2 system from the Martin D-18, I thought I'd make one last EQ'ed recording of the combination when played fairly aggressively with a flatpick. The Schatten HFN pickup was installed with the Schatten-supplied 3M tape and is being 48-volt phantom powered by a FELiX 2 preamp. The FELiX 2 EQ channel settings for the Schatten HFN Artist Plus 2 are:
Low Control FLAT (125 Hz Shelving)
Mid Control +5 dB @ 90 Hz, Q 1 Octave
High Control -5 dB @ 1 kHz Shelving
From my experience, the Schatten HFN pickup needs more EQ to sound good whereas the Trance Amulet M-VT and Dazzo #70 sound really good with all EQ FLAT everywhere in the signal chain. There are NO EFFECTS of any kind and from the FELiX 2 the signal goes into a PreSonus Studio 192 Audio Interface and then into Audacity.
The song segment is just the guitar backing to my vocal in my version of George Strait's "If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger (There's One Coming Home)"
