How to get a great acoustic guitar sound live.

Agree.....I had listened to MANY acoustic guitarists over the years, but when I heard Pierre, you could tell he was in a class way beyond the others. A true fret-master.

Mind blowingly great.

Pierre Bensusan played in an art gallery and blew me and my dad away!

That Magnetic soundhole pickup sounds incredible. Does Mike have 3 separate output jacks for his pickups? What internal microphone does he use?

[@milosuwa]

awesome

[@mug1222]

How do u plug into something when u have 3 leads?

[@daveowens]

He runs them into a Bose mixer, then blends them together.

[@RobertSchel3]

Does the Black Angel soundhole pickup also 'hear' the percussion or do his other pickups do that? Really thinking about buying one

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi Robert, The other pickups "hear" the percussion. I don't believe in making magnetic pickups microphonic, that's the job for a microphone or the piezo. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio

[@jimmyborderies699]

Hi, Is that Black Angel piezo or K&K trinity pro mini system used with the Black Angel on his stuff please ? Thanks

[@Seif-Music-Videos]

Hi, is it possible to directly plug the sound-hole pick up to the recording interface? (in my case i use a zoom H4n) Cheers,

[@LarryDiMarzio]

+Seif Maamoun Hi, Give it a try, I've never plugged into the Zoom but it should work fine. If it's a little shy on gain add a DI box. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio

Hello Larry, I have just purchased a D Activator X pickup. I think I may have been sent the wrong one, because it's f spaced. I don't have a Floyd Rose equipped guitar. Is the pickup suitable for trem and non trem instruments? Thanks.

[@LarryDiMarzio]

+ANDYB1478 Hi, Yes, and it should work fine. F Spaced pickup works well in the bridge position. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio
