Good product, even better price

TKS 16.09.2013

My band started gigging a few years ago, and I noticed the need for an acoustic in some of our songs. My old trusty Epiphone didn’t have a microphone, and I didn’t feel like modifying the guitar permanently with some kind of internal microphone system, so I started digging on the Internet for an easier solution. I knew I needed something affordable and something I could attach and detach with ease.

I quickly came across the Dean Markley Pro Mag Plus, and after some closer studying and comparison I ordered one for myself. Initially, I was surprised by the sound quality. When I ran my acoustic through an EQ pedal, I was able to further fine-tune the sound to my taste. The pickup attaches easily, although you should be careful when doing it as you can quite easily chip the edge of the guitar's soundhole. As it turned out, two of my band members bought the same pickup based on my experience. A good product for a really good price.

Functional on a budget - though design isn't great

Eoghan 17.09.2013

A basic entry level device. Would be fine for a few occasional shows, but as needs increase it's limits reveal themselves. Some form of EQ will be required and also single coil can be a little hissy. My major complaint with this was the proprietary jack plug 'repair' system. It creates a very unreliable connection and coupled with the cable type made it unlikely that i'd use it live on a regular basis. I did contact the company about this on the customer feedback form and never recieved any response. Positive points are that you can electrify a steel strung acoustic guitar very quickly and on a reasonably price point.

I like the sound from this pickup

SoulWorks 26.05.2019

Personally I really like the sound from this pickup... but I'll admit that others aren't quite so impressed. But for the price, it's a great piece of kit. It swaps in and out of different guitars easily, and seems reasonably robust. We connect it to a mixing desk via a DI box (phantom powered), and that works well. For under €50, you can't go wrong...

Poor sound. Nice build quality.

johnk1 10.03.2021

To be honest its the first acoustic pickup I've ever used. I've plugged it straight to a guitar amp and the sound is really poor. Very very low ... you can barely hear it. Supposingly it can not be used for recording or any other uses.Dunno if it does need a preamp or something to be heard.
The conclusion is that I don't use it for the purpose I've bought it... and I wasn't expecting that bad poor sound ...
The build quality seems OK.
