Crushing tones as always, John🤘That drop C riff sounds even lower🔥

Excellent vid. Clear explanation. Very useful. Thanks.

I feel the new sound could have been achieved through and EQ pedal

Monel sounds a little thin, lacking the full bassy acoustic sound. Still, I have them on my 00-15 which I use mainly for plucking and picking.

Buen bajo quedó .....pero falta aprender a equalizarlo......!

Martins are a fucking scam .I would buy a hi end Takamine before i spend 10 cents on a martin .

Don,t ca;ll an epi a gibson Epis are superior to gibson .Epiphone Is Not Gibson . Gibson owns epiphone used to . They do not design epiphone Period .I am in the process of buying my Casino . The overseas one Made in china or what ever .

I just ordered one for 110 CAD plus taxes and shipping, so it ended up being 150 CAD. Could have got it cheaper I'm sure, but it's still an amazing pedal so I'm stoked. It hasn't arrived yet, but I know everything BAT makes is right up my alley, so I'm confident I'll be happy with it.

AP5 Pro Maton. Best piezo 👍 Tommy reckons too 😊

Very helpful! I find that all the stock wah pedals suck lol.

I wasn’t expecting this pedal to be such an incredible envelope filter also.

🤔Thank you for doing this comparison, now I understand.

Thanks for video. Now I definitely know what to do 😊

Best wishes 🎉

Nice job. I’m afraid my favorite tone was the guitar into the amp you did for a point of reference. But that was really useful because it confirms what I already expected going in. I’m just not a fan of these modeling units. Your video was very well done.

4:40 that one seems too phasy, but the pick-up alone is too bright, the external mic alone too bassy, why not include an internal mic with the pick-up?

To me this matter is hard to understand

Great review including actual experiences with feature demonstration. Discount code is appreciated.

I liked the sound of 10....

Helo Alex, How are you? Could you help me with this question? HXStomp XL - Connect to the FS1/2 input, via Y cable (stereo), Jim Dunlop DVP4 controller + Tap Tempo. I am unable to connect my DVP4 Dunlop controller and my tap tempo to the FS1/2 input using a y (stereo) cable. Only the Mini DVPA side works but I can't link my external TAP tempo to the TAP tempo of the HX stomp XL. Do you know how to make this work?

Great playing!

I just love products with thoughtful designs like this one. Not something I need at this point but I'll certain keep it in mind if I'm in the market for a stand. Well done, Alex!

the original fishman under saddle piezo pickup is hands down the best one, blows the others such as lr baggs out of the water

NICE !

sound so fake

Id think the flat tops may sound better in an acoustic lelctric

Thank you for the video. I usually go for 80/20 on my Martin, but since I’ll be recording it with mics, I decided to try the flat tops. They sound great and almost no squeak. I still prefer the 80/20, but it is what is. For a recording setting and my way of playing, I’ll be recording with the flat tops to avoid any headaches during the mixing process.

I just ordered that and stumbled on to this. Nice approach and comparison. Two years late to the party but for what it's worth: There was just a hint of grit and pronounced low frequencies with the wireless on the cleans but not a deal breaker for me. Should be even less with single coils and I believe a slight EQ adjustment would even it out. It was worse on the fuzzy stuff. Maybe using lower fuzz/distortion gain and bumping up the volume to compensate loudness would counter the ill side-effects along with again, some subtractive EQ on the problem frequencies. It did a fine job on the bass. I usually roll off the sub low end on my bass amps anyway. A lot of bass amps include that feature. I thought the wireless added a nice ambience to the acoustic and sounded better to my ears than the cable. Bottom line is it does color the sound and that makes it personally subjective. All my four wireless color the sound. Even my Boss WL-20 wireless colors the sound though. I use them all and adjust to taste.

I used a Fishman Neo-D humbucker for a short while. The output was so low that to get any usable sound it had to be amplified to the point that the noise was ridiculous, it could have been faulty though... FWIW

I really like half rounds but found I had trouble keeping them in tune if doing a lot of bending... Anybody else have this experience ? or did I get a bad set of strings ?

the martin sounds very clear, soft and smother

Flatwounds for jazz. Less noise, more mellow. Roundwound seems a bit more edgy, but for jazz, a smooth sound is preferred

What if you use round wounds on high string and flat wound on the lower 3. You get smooth chords and more colorful melodies

Does it suck bass on a bass?

It seems to stray into univibe territory at times.

Nickel and monel are different. Monel is 30% copper.

Honestly, I couldn't hear any difference (with this video, but with others, I can).

Can you still use the freeze function even if the pedal is in bypass mode? Can you also set the tap tempo even if the pedal is in bypass?

What's the name of the Mic your using to talk into? I've seen it around but I have no idea what brand or model.

I used to play my D28 directly into a mic, and never had any feedback problem. That was way back in the 70's, but we played all the rock clubs around the Bay Area (5 piece band) . I guess that was before most clubs liked to have the sound turned up to 11, so that it caused pain & hearing loss, but even then there were clubs where the sound was so loud we had to have some ear protection on stage. Still when I used the acoustic guitar, I played directly into a mic and there was no feedback.

Great video! Listening with headphones, the nickle are definitely brighter and more transparent.

I have both and like the OC 3 much better. That function to only octave the lowest note works much better on oc 3. Even in simple chords the oc 5 jumps to the 5th instead of staying on the root.

Both K&K and Journey Tek highly recommend either Super Glue GEL or Gorilla Glue GEL for the ultimate in tone, volume & sustain. Both companies state that although the 2-sided sticky tape can be used, it won't sound anywhere near as good vs the glue. So a guitarist really needs to question the permanent installment of either one of these pickup systems. I installed the Journey Tek EP001K in all 4 of my fine acoustic guitars using the glue, and I absolutely LOVE the sound with all 4 of my guitars. They sound incredibly authentic & natural through my Boss Acoustic Pro Singer amp.

Just wanted to say thanks for putting this together. For what it’s worth, I gigged for years with the baggs anthem using a feedback buster in my Ibanez. We had a loud drummer, but we got by with little feedback issues. Worst case scenario, I could have adjusted the balance to a tad bit less mic and more under saddle, but I never had to. Cheers!

I call this "super OK". Great value for sure, and it does what it's supposed to do, but leaves you wanting a bit more after a while. If anything, this pedal could really use a range function.

They're OK for practice or rehearsal. I've just done an A/B test against my Line 6 G75 and it made the Lekato sound awful

13 sounds fuller, richer to my ears. It's always a balance between tone and playability

🙏👍

Top, super cover 👍

Top, super duo🔥
