Default Pickup v4

Here is the design n°4

The pickup is folded to provide shielding. It's hanged by two 3D-printed posts and hold with nylon screws



Surprisingly it sounds very Lyric-like. Here is a sample direct to the focusrite 2i2. (preamp is onboard)



Honestly, it was a pain to install... I made a 3D print clamp but it did not help. As you see in the picture it is hanging and is not hold tight enough

I should probably reduce the length

only good point: It does not change the guitar tone. (My guess because I don't add weight nor rigidity)

It does not sound good with the JAM150 but quite good with the Laney AH4x4 (Might be the output impedance of my DIY preamp which is high for the JAM)


Pickup v4 through Laney AH4x4
recorded with zoom H2
no mic bleed (I play in the next room, the door is closed)
