Harley Benton TrueTone SH-30W Pro Active

Ville afprøve hvordan min akustiske Fender CD60 kunne lyde - dels (clean) med forstærker, dels med div. effektpedaler (via SPARK Amp).
Meget positivt overrasket, Lyden er go', og der er fine justeringsmuligheder, både af lyd og placering i 'soundhole'. Selve produktet/enheden er pænt og lækkert i lavet.
Man skal naturligvis være opmærksom på afstand fra enheden til strengene, og ledningens placering ved brug. Begge dele har betydning for henholdsvis lyd og guitarspil - og jeg tror at ved en 'voldsommere/vildere' spillestil vil dette produkt ikke være optimalt. Tænk også på at kabel jack-stikket vil kunne ridse dit instrument - klares let med en kraftig elastik/hårelastik som 'bumber' omkring jack-stikket, hvis det skal være rigtigt pænt kunne man nok finde en passende O-ring ;)
Til mit brug - spiller ikke proffessionelt - er dette et rigtigt godt produkt, som giver mulighed for at lege med nye og flere lydbilleder.

Since i had already a sh30pro i knew how good it sounds.
This time i installed it on a solid spruce top solid mahogany back side acoustic. First i tried on the Roland street cube EX which was nice. i had to play against as part of a whole band.
At home i tried the guitar directly into a Hi-Z input of the Zoom Livetrak 12. The sound thru the studio monitors was great but...
then i activate my active Alto speaker set + plus the 600W sub and the sound is controlled by a DBX Go Rack (discontinued) where i activated the eq comp and subharmonics.
Wow... this was gorgeous, the mic combination gave a lot of clarity in the higher frequencies and the pickup helped the Dbx to generate those subharmonics.
I defently want to try it out in a crowdy pub where i have to increase the volume and the eq of the DBX will have to be changed. I hope i will find the same balance between the sub and the tops back at higher volume levels without having to struggle with to much acoustic feedback .
That is for the coming months. i will let you know the result by then.

Sounds incredibly good for what it is - basically makes DI guitar viable even for demo recordings with the right compressors and EQ. Genuinely astounding, not just for the price, it vastly outcompetes any Martin/Taylor built in system.

I wish you could turn down the magnetic pickup, however, not just the mic. With the mic on full volume you get a great sound, but for quiet no-feedback environments I'd like to have the balance even more in favor of the mic.

Currently I believe the system has two controls: Overall volume and Mic Volume. Overall volume and a Blend control would be better in my opinion to get rid of the magetic pickup entirely.
