Seymour Duncan Mag Mic is used by John Butler, check out Ocean by him.

You forgot to say that when using the mag Mic, it's essential to adjust the mids very low or even cut them; doing this you really get a quite natural sound; when activating the microphone you can almost get the woody acoustic tone.

I love the tone at 9:58. Nice!

Seymour Duncan completely missed the chance to call it Magic Mic, just saying

I love both of these pickups equally. I've owned amplified acoustics like Takamines and Ovations but have never purchased this type of clip-in pickup.

How did you find the magmic for fingerpicking? I recently got given a cheap soundhole pickup and found my nails were catching all the time on the pickup (I strum and play with nails, not a plectrum).

It would've been nice to hear a comparison with the system built in to that guitar. Is there any information on what kind of system that is? Woody sounded horrible to me. Mag mic was much better, but it's hard to tell how it measures up to other pickups.

I like the idea of this but don't like that it makes an acoustic guitar sound more like an electric guitar than an acoustic-electric guitar.

@donharrold1375 4 жыл бұрын

Woody sounds a little, well “woody” and dull. The second pickup sounds much better but makes the guitar sound a bit more like a semi acoustic without the microphone. With the microphone it sounds a lot more natural.

@dantaylor6930 5 жыл бұрын

I wonder which pickup would sound better for a more percussive player. To mimic a bass drum and snare.

Hello, which model of woody did you use in this video? I'm actually seeking a solution to get that electric tone out of my traveling acoustic. I've noticed that there are 3 woody models out there. Which one sounds the closest to an electric pickup on a proper E guitar? Thanks!

Does the woody xl need the foam? I took it off because the pickup didn't fit right with it on I was thinking about just using duct tape to make it stay in place. is there a way to permanently have it installed on the guitar?

@themodernguitarist 5 жыл бұрын

A lot of these magnetic acoustic pickups do this. Making it act more like an eletric guitar instead of the vibrations of the string and body like a piezo. You're better off finding a piezo tranducer on Amazon for 1/3rd the price.

Does the woody pickup work well without a preamp, that is straight into an amplifier or Bose?

@nvmbrsdoom5 Жыл бұрын

I've used the Woody plugged directly into a p.a. mixer or even straight into a small speaker and it's worked fine. I prefer utilizing a preamp pedal or pickup booster pedal along with it because it gives me additional control over the volume and tone shaping, but the Woody does work just fine on it's own as well.

@nvmbrsdoom5 Жыл бұрын

With the Woody pickup, I have found that it can often sound even better when you use some kind of preamp with it, however it does work just plugged directly into a mixer. The Mag Mic is the same except with it you can actually control the volume on the pickup itself using the volume and blend controls on there.

I don’t think the top end is what made it sound electric. The more you adjusted the woody the more electric it sounded😳

Yeah I agree, I would’ve liked to hear the mids taken out and more treble and bass. Plus he needed to show more open position chords to let the guitar ring out.

@rbeamish6492 3 жыл бұрын

This guy has no idea how to EQ a mag pickup. Boost the trebles to get the acoustic zing, and sweep and cut the mids where they sound most muddy and electric.

@vKarl71 6 жыл бұрын

Unless your only goal is to play for yourself, you can't judge the sound of an acoustic pickup while you're playing the guitar yourself because you're hearing more of the guitar than your audience will.
