"I
love the sound of your pickups! It's great to have direct correlation
between the natural sound of the instrument and what comes out through
the PA. It's my guitar, only louder. I have finally found what I've
been hoping to find for years and years!" |
|
|
"I've
tried just about every mandolin pickup out there... nothing else even
comes close! Warm, rich, woody tone, no harshness, perfect string balance"... |
|
 |
"Excellent
sound, I am very impressed." |
"Dudes y Dudettes - These things really work big time. It sounds
huge and just like the instrument. Your system seems to have selected
the most useful and most musical part of the signal without adding
any irritants." |
 |
 |
"WOW. I think
you guys are really on to something." |

Harmony Central Reviews: |
The Stealth undersaddle pickup in conjunction with the internal preamp
module are sufficient to drive just about any guitar amp. |
Very Very Natural. Like a Good studio Mic.
I have NEVER EXPERIENCED such a Natural Tone out of an acoustic in my
Life!!!! It will be no time before everyone is using this PU...I'm in
Complete Awe, and will be buying several more for my other acoustics...Check
this device out and I Guarantee if you are not Deaf and a pro, you will
get one..Period!

"Folks, This is it! There may be better
systems; but they are 5 to 10 times the price. The typical acoustic amplification
system which has become the (commercial) musical and industry standard
yields a bright "plink" with almost no overtones or sustain.
The "Pick-Up the World" is attached to the guitar bridgplate.
It has almost no mass. It receives and transmits the vibrations from the
entire note. With a typical undersaddle or combo system, you eq and phase
adjust your "dry" signal (taking out the "quack")
and then adding "air" and sustain with reverb and compression.
Now, I've turned that stuff off. The signal is already wet, thick, and
woody! It's almost boring. I'm not spending hours twisting knobs, changing
amp channels, experimenting with the sound. Just practice. Plug in at
the coffee house. For the money; for the hassle freeness, for the simplicity,
for the typical acoustic player; this is it....

"The
Pick-Up World system can produce results that rival a very expensive
microphone. It is easily the most full frequency range contact system
I've ever heard. Its upper frequency response is especially impressive.
Even overtones well above the fundamental notes come through with no
attenuation."
|
"Once
installed, the Pick-up the World created an amplified sound that closely
resembled the voice of the guitar. It's wide dynamic range allowed it
to respond well to soft picking and still sound good when the guitar
was strummed forcefully. The pickup also did well at higher volumes,
and its low mass resulted in a relatively high feedback threshold."
|
"I
mounted the pickup on the front of the biscuit. My opinion? THE THING
ROCKS!!!!!!! I am totally amazed at how good this pickup sounds on this
National style Dobro. I couldn't be more pleased."
|
"I'm
very impressed by the sound, and the broad range of applications. On
a big Yamaha Grand Piano, we monitored two #30's in stereo, and the
sound was full and rich, with no apparent phase cancellation between
the two signals. This would never be the case with microphones!"
|
"The
future of drums is upon us. I've been testing a product by Pick-up the
World on my congas, and it absolutely rocks! The sound is tight and
percussive, and the pickups have many significant advantages over microphones.
The installation is a snap, and the dynamic range and frequency responses
are huge."
|
"This
sounds exactly like the banjo does acoustically. It is open, warm, and
inviting. A great product, probably the only one I would ever want to
carry or recommend to my customers."
|
"The
whole sound has become three dimensional, and the transparency of the
sound with this pickup is remarkable! The subtle nuances of the more
delicate aspects of the instrument's sound can now be heard for the
first time since this instrument was recorded with an AKG 414 and the
recordings mixed and mastered by an expert in Nashville. Now it sounds
like that live."
|
"I
just picked up my Weissenborn today from having the #27 installed. I've
had a chance to sit down and play for a while, and it sounds great!
Lots of low-end response, and a very full, natural sound. I'm very pleased.
Thanks for making such a cool product."
|
"Flat
across the board. No EQ or notch filter. I turned up the volume, and
I thought I was in heaven. No feedback. No"quack" The sound
was nothing short of perfect. I give the PUTW a hearty two thumbs up!"
