For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Style has nothing to do with amplifying an acoustic guitar, all you want is it to sound like a guitar

Comments: There is only one way of amplifying an acoustic guitar, you need three things, these three pickups complete eachother and gives you a natural sound. The Piezo gives you the sensetivity of your playing, the condenser microphone gives you a natural reverb or if you want to call it air or dimension or whatever into the sound , the magnetic gives you punch, this is the only right way to amplify your guitar. everything else is a compromise. When you install this you have to put the piezo and the condenser to the preamplifier provided by b-band so you can adjust these two microphones on your guitar. send this to the tip of your stereo endpin, then you take the magnetic (try sunrise if you prefer that sound) and send it to the ring of the stereo endpin. after this you need a preamplifier (rane ap13 or raven-labs pmb for example) or a mixer (if you ran out of money here) and then a good solid workhorse poweramp and then a good speaker, PA or ampeg 15" basspeaker or a daedelus or whatever you like. If you put alll this together you?re gonna have the best motherfucking acoustic sound on the planet (next after me ?cos im building a new preamp now ;-) ) let this be known ?cos this has taken me 4 years to come up with and i can?t really make any money from this so just consider it the ultimate statement in acoustic microphone amplification!
