Acoustic Preamp Shootout
>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=o4gJWcweroI
A comparison of three quite different acoustic preamps - the TC Electronic Bodyrez, Fishman Aura Dreadnought, and L.R. Baggs Para Acoustic DI. Three different solutions to the problem of artificial-sounding signal from an acoustic guitar pickup. • You'll get lots of good info about this if you read the comments here, but just to clarify: each of these approaches the problem of 'making your acoustic guitar actually sound good plugged in' using totally different technology. I called them all 'preamps' because there is no easy word available that means 'acoustic-guitar-sound-good-boxes' but you could make the case that only the LR Baggs is a proper preamp, the Fishman may be some kind of impulse response or modeling technology, and I truly do not know what the BodyRez is doing; perhaps a harmonic exciter or complicated EQ. Anyway, they all help deal with that piezo quack that makes playing an acoustic live sound so much worse than playing it unplugged. • If you're curious, a Four Years Later update: the LR Baggs is the one I still use every week. So I guess time has proven it to be the winner. • ------------------------------------------- • Unless I state otherwise in the video, everything I test out on here is stuff that I bought myself. There are no paid reviews on this channel and only a couple times have I ever had items sent to me for review.
