LR Baggs DS PRE Dual Source Preamp (Standard)
LR Baggs DS PRE Dual Source Preamp (Standard) Review
The Dual Source Preamp is available independently of the Dual Source System, offering players an all-discrete, Class A, two-channel onboard mixing preamp - an essential component for those building custom two-source acoustic guitar amplification systems. The Dual Source PRE also comes with a Remote Control, which mounts nondestructively to the soundhole and puts volume and mix controls at your fingertips.Universal Onboard Mic/Pickup Mixer The Dual Source Preamp is a miniature onboard microphone/pickup mixer. It features all-discrete, Class A circuitry and provides a perfect mix between the most popular pickups and mini-microphones. Like a rack in a matchbox, the Dual Source Preamp provides a great sounding, simple to use and affordable way to enjoy the benefits of a blended system without hauling around a rack full of gear or cutting your guitar for knobs.The Remote Control Unique to the DS, and a must for stage use, is the exclusive soundhole mounted controller, the Remote Control. It attaches nondestructively to the edge of the soundhole and puts master volume and microphone volume controls right at your fingertips. In mix mode the Remote Control provides a pan control between the pickup and mic, plus a master volume. However, simply flipping a switch separates the mic and pickup for independent access by simply plugging in a stereo "Y" cable. Importantly, in split mode, the Remote Control provides individual volume controls for both the mic and pickups.The Electronics If you have ever wondered how LR Baggs can make such great sounding stuff for such a low price, here it is - they do more with less. They strive to find the most elegant and simple circuit solutions possible. They also continually work to eliminate any unnecessary or sonically degrading parts in their circuitry. Not only does this make for the purest possible sound, it actually reduces the cost. The entire Dual Source Preamp/Mixer signal path, for example, contains only six transistors and

LR BAGGS® X BRIDGE VINTAGE CHROME
LR BAGGS® X BRIDGE VINTAGE CHROME Review
Imagine one guitar that is perfect for blues or rock and roll, has the ultimate clean sound, is great for jazz and has a great acoustic sound without feedback. Sounds like an expensive dream, but chances are that you already own this guitar. It's your beloved Strat. And all that it has been waiting for to unleash this hidden potential is the new vibrato bridge pickup, the X-Bridge from LR Baggs. When we decided to apply our fifteen years of transducer design experience to amplifying the electric guitar, we were faced with the task of first choosing a guitar and then a bridge. The Strat was a pretty obvious choice. But when we interviewed guitar makers about bridges, we found that there was no existing bridge that had the qualities that we were looking for. So we designed our own. By starting with a white sheet of paper, we did not have to shoehorn our pickups into an off-the-shelf bridge. We could then design the bridge and pickups as an integrated system without compromise. The product of our research, the X-Bridge is beautiful, responsive and dynamic, and has a jaw dropping sound that will redefine what a Strat can do.

Godin Multiac Series-ACS Guitar (Natural SG)
Godin Multiac Series-ACS Guitar (Natural SG) Review
Godin Multiac Series-ACS Guitar (Natural SG) Feature
- Mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard and offset dot inlays
- RMC Custom bridge transducer and preamp with three-band EQ
- Built-in 13-pin connector for Roland GR-Series synths and most other 13-pin devices
- 25 1/2-inch scale
- Chambered silver leaf maple body with cedar top
Here's one of many innovative axes from Godin. The ACS-SA blends a nylon classical guitar with Godin's unique solid bodies, with a chambered maple body and cedar top. It features on-board electronics for a straight acoustic sound, and like many of Godin's instruments it features a 13-pin connector for use with guitar synths. Plenty of options here.
Godin's Multiac Series
The Multiac models represent the créme de la créme of the acoustic/electric guitar world. Whether you're recording, performing or just looking for an incredible plugged-in sound, these instruments deliver superb results. Several of these guitars are nylon string and the remaining are steel string. The various models are also distinguished by the two electronic systems used in the Multiac series guitars. The RMC-equipped Multiacs include synth access capabilities, and the Duet models feature custom dual source systems by L.R. Baggs.
RMC Polydrive preamp system with plenty of control.
Send a standard 1/4-inch output or use the 13-pin connector with Roland or other guitar synthesizers.
A True Hybrid
The ACS blends classical guitar concepts with elements of solid body design. The incredibly comfortable neck from the Multiac Nylon is used here with a Maple body and Cedar top to achieve Godin's most affordable synth access guitar ever. Although the body is chambered, response from the maple top is more typical of a solid body design than that of a traditional acoustic guitar. This design results in an instrument that is virtually free of feedback, making it easy to use even when the band gets loud.
The mahogany neck holds an ebony fretboard with 22 medium nickel frets and offset dot inlays, and thanks to the deep cutaway you can actually access the higher ones.
Synth Access
The Multiacs that use the RMC Polydrive system can be recognized by the individual transducer saddles under each string. This system not only produces superb amplified sound, but also produces a hexaphonic output through a 13-pin connector, which provides these guitars with direct access to Roland GR-Series synthesizers. The key to the exceptional synth tracking of the Multiac lies not just in the electronics but also in the carefully selected and balanced blend of different wood used in its design. All of the materials used are the result of extensive prototype testing to achieve the best possible combination of plugged-in guitar sound and synth tracking.
Output Section
All of the Multiac SA models are equipped with two outputs. The 1-/4-inch phone output works with a regular guitar cord. The 13-pin connector provides hexophonic (a separate signal for each string) output for guitar synth devices.
