Combining an undersaddle piezo transducer with a noiseless condenser microphone is nothing new to the industry. However, it has been a technique of vastly untapped potential... until now. Our main ingredient for capturing the true tone of an acoustic guitar is simply to put as little circuitry as possible between the sound source and the amplifier. This lets all of the natural, acoustic transients and resonances of the guitar come thru with only necessary refinement. In other words, it still feels like an acoustic guitar in your hands.
