Acoustic Humbucker!!!! Whaaaattttt?
yakacm 01.05.2022
I have always found hybrid acoustic/electric guitar interesting, ever since watching the Nirvana Unplugged thing on MTV. I really liked Kurt Cobain's tone from that event. I had always assumed that the the guitar he was playing was some kind of homebrew, but that wasn't the case. Kurt's guitar is a Martin 15e, made in the 1950's, and pretty rare. Anyway that's what I was after, not too sure that the Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ delivered, but that's not to say that I didn't like what it did deliver. A distorted sound from an acoustic is definitely a novel, original sound, which I liked very much. The Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ does also provide a decent clear tone, OK not exactly an acoustic sound, but then if that's what you are after, then you'd be better with 1 of the 100's of piezo pickups. The only gripe I have, is the volume and tone controls are a bit hard to access. This is pretty minor thou, I mean at least they are there. Fitting the Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ, was a breeze, it has 2 screws and captive nuts, that create a clamp, which is padded, which attaches the pickup to the sound hole of your acoustic. I fitted the Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ, with the strings off, and it took me just a couple of minutes. All in all, a great little addition to your tone arsenal, I have used it to add dimension to home recordings. It's a nice looking thing too, and appears to be very well built, and cheap too. I really don't know how they can do this type of quality at this price. I can definitely recommend the Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ, do yourself a favour and get one.

Good for tenors and other guitars with small sound holes

I've popped one of these in my Blueridge tenor. Sounds good with pure nickel strings, not a pure acoustic tone but I don't think that's the maker's intention ? very reasonably priced too.

überraschend großartig... für Akustikbass
Stefan4677 21.01.2022
Als Besitzer eines Akustikbasses träumt man manchmal von magnetischen Pickups und ihren Vorteilen: weniger Feedbackgehupe, weniger hohe Frequenzen, die nur den Bandsound stören, mehr Druck...
Allein: mit den üblichen Schallloch-Pickups für Gitarren wird man am A-Bass nicht ganz glücklich: Sie sind auf hohlwangigen Singlecoil-Sound (selbst bei den Stacked-HBs) optimiert und bieten ein reduziertes Magnetfeld im Bereich der hohen (nicht umsponnenen) Gitarrensaiten... Letztere wären sonst zu laut. Damit ist fast jeder Akustikgitarren-Pickup im Bereich der g-Saite am Bass zu saftlos.
Beim Artec ist das zunächst auch so: die verstellbaren Pickup-Schrauben sind hier unterschiedlich lang und bieten so den umsponnenen Saiten der Akustikgitarre mehr Magnetfeld. Für A-Bass muss man lediglich die Schrauben unter A- & g-Saite gegeneinander tauschen, schon lässt sich der Pickup für die verwendeten Saiten am Bass feintunen... und man bekommt sie in wenigen Minuten gleich laut eingestellt.
Mit einem dünnen Sound hat der Artec dann nix am Hut: Er macht ordentlich Druck in den tiefen Mitten und ist ein toller Bass-Pickup.
Dazu dann noch die integrierten Ton-/-Volume-Reger... fantastisch!
Letztere bratzeln wegen der vorhandenen Pickup-Mikrofonie ein wenig. Aber der Rest ist eine echt wunderbare Überraschung für meine Akustikbässe!

Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding
Muziekman 19.09.2018
Het werkt op mijn western gitaar.
Verwacht niet dat het apparaat de toon van je gitaar optimaal nabootst.
Het is een humbucker en wat mij betreft had meer oversturing van het geluid wel gemogen.
Met versterker en pedalen haal ik er veel plezier uit.

De signaal sterkte is goed
geluid wordt wel donkerder ( humbucker
Makkelijk te plaatsen in mijn westerngitaar
De polen naar beneden geschroefd want anders raakte de snaren het apparaat
Als je de volume / tone knop gebruik hoor je een beetje storing, wordt in de handleidng ook op gewezen
Let op of je een exemplaar wilt hebben waarbij het snoer buiten om gaat . Er bestaat ook een versie waarbij je de aansluiting / snoer in de klankkast laat.
Makkelijk te monteren en te verwijderen.
