Frequently Asked Questions
The mounting is designed to be minimal, but some players might perceive a slight change in string vibration; adjustments might be needed.
Being passive, it should be compatible, but the low output might require a preamp with good gain to achieve a strong signal.
No, it's a simpler solution. Expect a more direct, less processed acoustic tone, lacking the EQ and preamp flexibility of a dedicated system.
