Fishman Matrix Infinity Mic Blend Demo from Peghead Nation

[@clintwhite3021]

A lot of people aim for a 'mic'd sound' and think that live it'll be awesome however in my opinion (FWIW) as a soloist i like that piezo bass and midrange attack on the note and blend a fraction of presence from a mic system like this. I have the LR Baggs Stagepro Anthem in my 000 Sigma and have put in a cheap fishman piezo copy in place of their own as it achieves a less natural but better live tone. This would be a fantastic system id buy if my main guitar wasn't a Maton with the AP5 pro haha.

Got one on my baby taylor mahogany, with which I travel with a small VOX amp, and Boss Pedals. Amazing performance!

[@timbonim296]

Great informative review for serious buyers! Thank you!

[@swampmarsh2792]

Teja's got chops!

[@jed1166]

Teja, do you prefer this or the Rare Earth mic blend?

[@pegheadnation]

Depends on whether you like the sound of a magnetic pickup or an under saddle pickup better, as that will still be the fundamental tone you'll hear, even with the mic. The RE Blend will probably be a little warmer and smoother for heavy strumming, but both system can sound really good!

[@JaimeChinchilla]

Great review! If I install it but the mic causes feedback on a high volume playing situation....Can I just turn the mic blend down to no mic at all and eliminate feedback? In other words....does the mic blend come all the way down to 0 mic? or Can I just turn off the mic if it's not needed? Thanks for your help.

[@stephentyndall159]

I don't know if this is too late but yes, if you turn the blend dial all the way to the right you get just the pickup (I checked by tapping the mic while slowly turning the blend dial all the way).

[@StanleyParkerGraf]

does it works as well for clasical nylon string guitar?

[@pegheadnation]

Yes, this system will work in most nylon-string guitars.

[@ehleroo]

Thanks for your demos. Great sound at 8:46. Which do you prefer between this system and the Fishman Rare Earth blend?

[@rowbocaster]

Can the mic be bought separately and added to a standard Matrix Infinity (that did not come with the mic)?

[@azkanne]

Hi, I have a mcpherson type guitar, does it use to install Fishman Matrix Infinity Mic Blend? Greetings and thanks

[@babenhamniza1650]

I think the guitar also sounds nice by itself. What Martin model is that? Thanks!

[@pegheadnation]

That's an OM-21. Very nice guitar!

[@jakeballantyne7771]

Can anyone tell me what song he is playing at the very beginning?

[@pegheadnation]

Hi Jake - That's the Irish traditional "The Southwind."

[@gammaraygem]

Hi; this is confusing. In the thumbnail of this video you show a picture from the Fishman website, where the mic is placed on the treble side next to the neck. But here you show the mic is on the opposite side of the soundhole,so not near the neck, between the D an G strings. I have seen other video reviews, with the mic placed next to the neck, as indicated in the installation guide. I bought a handbuilt solid wood guitar (online...1500 miles away...never again...) with the mic placed as in yours in this video, but ... the B string is louder than the E string, which is , for my playing style, not good. It definitely is a mic problem because with piezo only there is no imbalance in volume between those strings. It seems to me, that placing the mic where yours is, there is more risk of booming also, because of vibration from the soundboard. Near the neck is more stable. Unfortunately, the dealer says the manual is wrong (yep, he calls it a printing error). And he glued the mic, so moving it will end warranty. He also told me to buy a 130 watt 900 euro ACUS amp, to solve the problem, even though my Lowden 012 sounds fine on my current 20 watt amp. I asked for a tip on how to remove the glued mic, ...no answer. Anyone?

[@rafabern31]

Does it need bateries?

[@pegheadnation]

Yes, it runs on a 9-volt battery inside the guitar.

[@empathysgone96]

this versus K&K trinity?? thoughts

[@jamesmorrison2063]

I know your 6th string is tuned to D. How is the rest of the guitar tuned?

[@stevemineer2857]

James Morrison sounds like DADGAD.

[@maikuirock8015]

Will this fit a Taylor GS Mini?

[@pegheadnation]

It should fit, yes, but you might want to ask Fishman to make sure.

[@scottmoreau3478]

Sounds good but I wish there was more effort put on micing the speaker to eliminate acoustic bleed.

[@DPJeffFeller]

would have been nice to hear you play with a pick as well

[@becomeaudible1]

STRUM THE GOD DAMN THING!!!! 90% of gigging musicians STRUM THIER GUITAR!!!

[@timmcgurl]

NOT when you can fingerpick as beautiful as Teja from Peghead Nation does. He's an expert in DADGAD tuning which is best for fingerpicking like he's doing. 90% of us are not strummers. Learn to play without a pick for a change.

[@robinwatson4282]

He does strum it. He also does other shit you obviously can't; but hey, nobody's perfect.

[@jimmyhansen5842]

I'm SO tired of demos where they strum their stupid G/C/D chords🙄👍
