The Fishman Acoustic PowerTap™ series welcomes the PowerTap Earth pickup system. It combines the effortless installation, top - notch performance, and warm, clear sound of the Rare Earth Humbucker with a brand - new soundboard body sensor. This gives guitarists of every style a whole new world of percussive elements and tactile dynamics. With Tap pickup technology, players can add new performance dimensions like Touch, Ambience, and Percussion. The adjustable Blend control lets you mix the Rare Earth and Tap signals in mono or send them to separate channels via a stereo cable. This allows for independent effects, level control, and EQ for each pickup, creating a unique sound from one instrument. Key features include a new Tap body sensor pickup that captures percussive elements without feedback, a warm and full humbucking sound from the Rare Earth pickup, a discreetly mounted Tap pickup Blend control module on the soundhole pickup, active electronics and neodymium magnet structure for great string balance and clarity, built - in stereo/mono output (determined by cable choice), and long - lasting miniature batteries (included).
Using the Fishman PowerTap Earth Body Sensor with Soundhole Pickup is easy. First, install the pickup system as per the instructions. It's designed for easy setup, so you won't have a hard time getting it on your guitar. To use the Blend control, adjust it to mix the Rare Earth and Tap signals the way you like. You can use a mono cable for a combined signal or a stereo cable to send the signals to separate channels. When adding effects, remember that you can control each pickup independently. This gives you the freedom to create your own unique sound. As for maintenance, keep the pickup clean. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth to remove any dust or debris. The included miniature batteries have a long life, but when they start to run low, replace them promptly to ensure optimal performance. Avoid exposing the pickup to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can affect its functionality.
