I mean, it's hard to tell. This example just sounds a little like it being totally slammed, overdriven and you admit that your strumming the sh*t out of it here. Some of the examples on YT have been everywhere - thin, bright, muddy, distorted, nice. They're all over the place, just going to have to try it for yourselves, or myself anyway. YMMV!
I look forward to your fingerpicked sample just to hear how it compares to your super aggressive strumming clip you posted here. As always appreciate you posting these things! |

Ken,
Thanks for posting those Ibanez recordings again. As you observed, it’s too bad a rig like that with a wider fretboard isn’t available. Regarding the HiFi, it would be interesting to learn what kind of “voicing” the Baggs folks are applying to the raw pickup signal. I suspect it’s just a matter of time until someone does that experiment. If an onboard preamp is absolutely needed to get a decent signal level out, perhaps a Shatten Design preamp could be substituted. |

So far my everyday pickup is a Mag/SBT/Mic combination; the Skysonic Pro-1. I do like the idea of combining a Mag with a SBT. Ken's Ibanez clip sounds very good. I still have a H-Fi on order, and will try it out whenever it gets here.

Thanks so much for recording these. The jury's still out, from where I sit.

There's that word again...muffled. I don't understand why this pickup sounds so muffled on even direct recordings? Strange indeed.

Still fun to experiment with new stuff regardless (thanks Spruce!). But for my money I still feel your Ibanez stomps the pants off your HiFi through my headphones anyway. |

Agree with that. The Ibanez in that demo sounded great. Too bad they only put that pickup system in those new huge dreads.

Man I guess I'm just partial but the Trance samples sound the best to me. Especially with no EQ. Open and ready for some sweetening.
So far I have not heard anything better than Trance. Billy |

Wow! Thanks for all the comments, Folks! What I'm going to do is go into the Larrivee and add a wire-guide standoff to the underside of the top for the transducer lead wires, change the current new battery to a new one from a freshly-bought Duracell 8-pack, and check the endpin screw-on preamp cover for any looseness. I'll make some new demos after doing so. The nice thing is, if things don't work out, I'll return the system to Sweetwater, and I'll have a refund that's over halfway to the cost of another Trance Amulet system, this time a battery-powered Trance Amulet M-VT Plus. This will give me the convenience of not needing phantom power like on my two Trance M-VT Phantom systems. Then guess what I'm going to do with the Amulets in the new system? That's right, Henkel Loctite 6-Minute Epoxy those little rascals into that Larrivee and play on with a smile.

Maury, I'm going to revisit my LR Baggs HiFi installation so look for another demo this weekend. This system has got to sound better than what it currently sounds like. More to come ...

If it happens, Ken, be sure to measure tha capacitance of the sensors to make a divider later on and save the day… Ken the trance audio amulet has 18v dynamic range thanks to its internal voltage doubler and a gain pot if I remember well… Not sure the Baggs preamp will be as forgiving with the glue mod
