I've been reading a bit about the Fishman Rare Earth Blend. Some people like it and some think it's a bucket o' dung. I like the idea of magnetic and microphone.
The thing about that offering is that it's a neat installation.
As you no doubt know, I recently had the Baggs "Dual Source" fitted to two of my guitars. This combines mic and UST. As with most things there are those that like it and those that regard it as a pail of excrement. I am not in the latter camp.
For me a blend of two sources is a step towards a more realistic amplified acoustic guitar sound. Despite the kit being so good these days, I don't think a mic, a UST, a contact transducer, a magnetic pickup or whatever BY ITSELF does it all. You need to start combining.
Assuming that a faithful reproduction of your acoustic guitar's natural sound is what you want.
Man these stretchy johnny walker and wife carrying ads are distracting hey!
