What a fantastic sound you get out of that Martin with the LR bags. I absolutely love the LR Baggs anthem pick up and have used it for years. The petals are absolutely wonderful sounding and don’t seem to create any extra noise which is very important.

I love how you explain things. Your a very good teacher. Your clear, brief and to the point. As a beginner acoustic guitar player, I didn’t think I was going to able understand the tech talk. But with you I can. Thank you.

Outstanding presentation, Corey! A big THANK YOU. The best explanation of how all that acoustic gear is “connected” I’ve seen/heard. Many, many thanks.

Thanks. Appreciate you taking time to share your insight.

WOW you have the BEST demo of these LR Baggs pedals. You walk through and variable adjustments show exactly what these things can do. I am starting with the EQ then the session pedal. Thank you so much. My Taylor 214CE Koa sound will be much improved plugged in now.

I’m just now finding this video in a search for the LR Baggs Anthem system. Glad I watched the rest of the video to see how you dial in your tone. It’s great to hear a great player who’s doing good demos! I’m in.

Great explanation and demonstration of how to dial in each pedal to get the best amplified acoustic tone. All of those pedals sound great and the sum of the parts made everything richer and more natural. Love that Reverb! (All of the pedals sounded great, but the Align Reverb is one of the best acoustic reverb pedals I've heard.) Very well done. Subscribing!

Thanks Corey I clicked on this to learn about my new pickup system but learned quite a bit about how to dial my acoustic tone in. I currently use a fractal for my Strandberg but I guess I will be making some acoustic patches now. Great info thanks.

Well done Corey ....I stayed right to the end ... ...you got me headed right ...my L series Larrivee will be getting a Anthem ... I like the compression pedal too .. my amp is a AER compact 60 with a Alexis rack midi reverb ... Cheers and nice playing too Alberta Dave

Just when I thought this video couldn’t get any better it did. Thanks man.

Thanks Corey, super helpful! I'm looking into a Furch Yellow Deluxe Gc-CR and the LR Baggs Anthem Stage Pro is one of the options and your explanation confirmed my reasons for having that pickup!

Outstanding presentation sir!!! Im lovin the lr anthems.. sounds really natural

Thanks for this video, me being new to acoustic guitars, tech etc, pickups, I found it very helpful and very well explained.

Thanks so much for the information! I just ordered the Taylor 717 Grand Pacific and will be having the Anthem installed instead of the Matrix Infinity because of this video. Cheers!

Great sounds! THX

Great, simple explanatory video! Thanks!

Very nice Corey. Nuance is the key word. Especially over the KZfaq filters. One trains their ear perception to enjoy the semi muted finger to string to fret tones of the acoustic guitar as emphasized by the original cat gut stringed acoustic guitar. A truly lovely tone. Good presentation.

Great video!

Great overview of the Anthem pick-up and LR Baggs pedals - thanks!

Terrific review! I must say though that after listening to several reviews of the Session pedal, including those from Baggs themselves, I can't say that I'm really hearing much of anything different using that one, although I did hear in a couple of vids where it just seemed to muddy up the mids. Actually, I'm fine just running my Anthem straight to the board and adding a little reverb there.

You probably know that your name in Italian slang of Roma sound just like “run rabbit”. You made me buy that pickup and get rid of one Fishman rare earth blend and a Seymour Duncan magmic. Thank you very helpful

Corey thank you for this great review. Please do one on their chorus and delay. Your tone is unreal! Also if you use any other pedals for your acoustic for funsies would love to see it. Thanks

Corey, you have tried so many Martin models. What made you decide on the 000-15SM as your main guitar? Also, how did you decide between the full Anthem and the SL version?

Corey that was absolutely the best tutorial of it's type. Fantastic, and the clarity that you delivered on acoustic guitars , pickups and tone shaping just what a lot of us really needed. I have a Faith Venus Blood Moon, which has a lovely slightly dark rich tone with Faith fitted Addario strings. I changed them recently to another leading string manufacturer in a lighter gauge. Boy did that alter the tone, for the worse. So immediately change back to the Addario originals. Welcome back my old guitar, great! So strings for me is huge. My Blood Moon although great, is a little quiet and I boost volume with my Marshall AS 50D acoustic amp. Then I struggle to find the sweet signature of the guitar, I really have to dial down my limited treble eq controls as much as possible. Acceptable but not great. Am I always going to struggle because of the piezo. Or will improving my eq control get me to a happier place? The Braggs gear sounds fantastic but pricey so I need to know if it is worthbuying it , probabky a piece at a time! Corey a shirt and sweet answer would suffice. Thanks so much. Tom UK. PS I called my first son Corey 31 years ago, unusual name for the UK!

Fabulous presentation, Corey!

I have the venue d-i and it's like adding your flavor when you are cooking 🍳 a steak it spices my guitar up to give you that just so sound that you look for when you play a nylon string guitar or steel

Does it still have a feedback problem with on stage situation with dialing fully to the mic?

Great explaination Corey. I love the Anthem pickup in my J200. LR Baggs are coming out with a new product called the voiceprint. Would really like for you to demo that as well to see if that would replace having all of those pedals into one. Thanks...

Bro nice guitar had just bought a D-15m LOve it. Bro what gauges strings you use?

What kind of material is the saddle of the guitar..?

Great!

Nice review. Thinking about purchasing the Session. Do you find it to be Noisy? - I have heard mixed reviews on the Added Noise factor? Love the Sound though.

Nice Blaze Foley riff!

Hey Corey. I'm running a Fishman Artist and was wondering if you feel that the EQ and Reverb pedals would give a substantial difference when playing in live environments. I am also interested in the Session pedal. I play rather aggressive rhythm and was thinking a compression pedal might help to balance things out. Thoughts?

how do you set your mic trim on the anthem i heard two ways to do it lrbaggs recommends blend to full mic position and turn trim until desired sound true to your guitar another way i heard was to set the trim to max and start with blend on full piezo and then blend in mic to taste

Corey could you do a review on that DPA dvote above your head closed mic on the guitar with a on stage monitor speaker pleeeeaSe

Hey Cory! I ended up getting the Anthem after all! Also got the baggs reverb and session as well. My question for you is, does the 100% mic effect of the Anthem make the Voiceprint unnecessary, or would it make it sound even better? Waiting on your recommendation! Thanks!

I use the Venue Di, Align Session and Reverb with a Fender Acoustic 100 and will soon add a Voiceprint DI. Using the Baggs Radius, Violin pickup and Anthem. Will all this micks and boxes work fine with a AER Compact 60acoustiq amp, or will some of the boxes work better with non-acoustick amplifiers?

I use the LR Baggs Venue Di. What are your thoughts on using the LR Bagg pedals in conjunction with the venue Di. I also playing a 2002 Taylor 814 which the Fishmen preamp

I have this acoustic pick up and was going to return it… Until you described the loss of frequency with vocal microphones!

So- This was fun but I need something clarified. Are any of these pedals a pre-amp? Or is that something different I would get before considering any of these pedals? Thanks!

Hey I have the same 000-15sm and I originally installed the anthem inside, but eventually switch it out, because the bracing was so thick, that I had to use a bunch of extra pads to get it to fit, I wanted to ask how you went about fitting the anthem in your guitar? I ended up putting the anthem in my Gibson because it fits naturally, but now I just have an element in the martin.

I have an LR BAGGS Venue and the Align Reverb - keeping to a budget would you purchase the sessions? chorus? or delay next?

So I finally gave up on the Lr bagg pedals chief. So much hiss on the Genzler acoustic array. I’m thinking there is something about the drivers that they don’t like. Bummer, money lost

Hi Corey! I would like to model my gear after yours. Can you tell me what you prefer, the LR baggs Anthem, or the Anthem SL? Thanks! Great playing by the way! Would like to model that too! :)

How did you work around the A bracing in order to mount the anthem pre amp? I see it’s recessed into the guitar a hair.

is it a bad idea to install LR Baggs anthem on a 500euro guitar?

Came here for the review....stayed for the stash, :-)

👍🏿🤘

Your playing is so tasty Corey..

Very useful. It would be even more useful to have each pedal on its own.

2000 bucks to brighten up your sound, did you buy all this gear or are just selling it.
