Members laidback Posted April 21, 2007 Members Posted April 21, 2007 I'm working on a pickup for a Martin DX1. The Baggs M1A got rave reviews and having and active pickup with on-board volume appealed to me, so I stuck one in. It mostly sounds pretty good, but there's a couple of nasty resonances getting picked up. I've got a 15 dB cut around 500 hz; that one's the worst. There's another, higher-pitched sort of "overtone" sound I'm having trouble finding and getting rid of. I might stick a computer-driven frequency analyzer in front of it to find it.I really like the sound of the DX1 unplugged. I really hate piezo "quack." I can't use a mike because of feedback. Any thoughts?
Members RainsongDR1000 Posted April 21, 2007 Members Posted April 21, 2007 What's your budget? If you have $500 the I'd suggest a D-tar Wavelength pickup with a D-tar Mama Bear modeler.
