Frequently Asked Questions
The internal mic placement aims for a more balanced representation of the guitar's top, but proximity to the soundhole can introduce a bass boost depending on your playing style.
The voicing switch provides a noticeable shift – the 'Bright' setting emphasizes highs, while 'Natural' offers a more balanced, vintage-like tone, suitable for a wider range of guitars.
While designed for wider spacing, it’s crucial to ensure adequate clearance; a guitar with a very narrow nut might need a slight modification or a different pickup solution.
