Anyone using Schertler MAG6 pickup with S-mic?
I was reading a Sound on Sound review and got intrigued. So I was wondering if anyone has experience with this pickup.

My bandmate just got one and she totally loves it, we both think its a big upgrade over her previous Shadow magnetic. We also looked at the LR Baggs M80 but the mic was a big selling point but more so was the fact it's lighter. I thought the Schertler sounded better too. Adding the S-mic is mostly subtle but definitely worth it, it takes a surprisingly decent start tone and just makes it more pleasant.
It hasn't been gigged yet, but we are more than happy with it in the rehearsal space.

Thanks Andy and Emmsone. The guy doing the demo sure is funny! Lots to listen to.

I've had this set up for awhile but don't use it as a primary. While I really like Schertler amps, not a fan of the pickup/mic. Without the mic it's way too electric sounding for an acoustic pickup. With the mic it's better and the only way to go but still not as good as I would expect for a mag/mic combination (totally subjective view of course). I was also disappointed that I had to send the magnetic pickup back to Switzerland for replacement when it failed. Good customer service but it took a long time.
You might consider what you're going to run this rig into. DTAR Solstice is only available used, Grace Felix is expensive, and mixing boards don't offer much in the way of acoustic guitar EQ.
