Fishman PowerBridge Tune-o-Matic Piezo Bridge, Gold

Fishman PowerBridge Tune-o-Matic Piezo Bridge, Gold Review



Fishman PowerBridge Tune-o-Matic Piezo Bridge, Gold Feature

  • PowerBridge Pickup and the complete line of PowerTronics dedicated preamps
  • The PowerBridge System also affords you a wide range of signal routing options
Fishman PowerBridge Tune-O-Matic in GOLD Fits Nashville and Les Paul style guitars Complete Piezo Replacement Bridge Fishman Part Number PRO-TOM-101 Brand New in Box, Full Warranty! The Fishman PowerBridge The electric guitar contains a wealth of different sounds. But the rich organic quality of an acoustic has never been one of them - until now. The Fishman PowerBridge System - including the PowerBridge Pickup and the complete line of PowerTronics dedicated preamps (PowerChip, and PowerBlend) can reveal new colors and textures hidden inside your electric guitar. The Fishman PowerBridge Pickup is built into a high quality, made-in-the-USA replacement bridge for Strat and Tele style guitars. Piezo elements integrated into each bridge saddle respond directly to the acoustic energy of your electric guitar - providing an "acoustic" sound quality. On its own, the PowerBridge Pickup provides a subtle and intimate "acoustic" sound. But the real fun begins when you blend Piezo and magnetic signals together. With the complete Fishman PowerBridge System you can blend the PowerBridge Pickup with clean magnetic sounds for bright, percussive tones - or with your favorite distortion settings for a range of hybrid clean and dirty tones. The PowerBridge System also affords you a wide range of signal routing options. Send the PowerBridge signal with your magnetic signal to a single guitar amp or feed it to a PA and the magnetic signal to your onstage amp for lush, roomfilling "electro-acoustic"; effects. Powerful but Passive You can plug the PowerBridge directly into many amplifiers with excellent results. This is called a "passive" system, because there is no "active" preamp (no battery) between the PowerBridge and the amp's input. When you go passive, remember that the PowerBridge will sound best plugged into an amp with a minimum 1 M. input impedance. Less than 1 M. will rob the PowerBridge pickup of low end. Volume Control If you want to control the volume...
