Emerald X10 with humbucker

Wonder if anyone has an Emerald X10 with the neck humbucker. What does it add to the overall tone if used with the on board Ghost Piezo? Trying to decide if I would like having the addition of the humbucker or not?

My X10 has Ghost Piezo and Krivo HB combination and I really like it.

The HB adds warmth and fullness while the Ghost offers brightness and cut.

Blending them together is usually how I set it for the more traditional plugged-in acoustic sounds.

Krivo alone can offer jazz-like tones into an electric guitar amp. Think hollow-body electric-ish. It's not the kind of humbucker that would convert your X10 into a classic rock guitar through an overdriven electric amp...

Here's a nice performance playing the X10 with the Krivo HB.

She is probably blending some Ghost Piezo with Krivo, but don't know for sure.

Anyway, this might give OP some idea??
