K&K Double Helix Solo (Magnetic Soundhole Pickup)

For your consideration Garrett Park Guitars presents this??K&K Double Helix Solo (Magnetic Soundhole Pickup).

The Double Helix is a hum-cancelling dual-coil soundhole pickup for steel-string acoustic guitars. It features a phase switch and a unique tone switch that allows players to easily change from a bright GLOSS setting to a more substantial STEAM setting.

The phase switch allows the player to adjust the phase of the pickup so the Double Helix will harmonize with any existing pickup already in the guitar. The tone switch allows the player to choose from two settings: GLOSS a fine and bright tone that sounds very acoustic and STEAM a more substantial and louder tone generally associated with soundhole pickups. Both tone settings are hum-cancelling.

In the GLOSS setting the Double Helix enhances the Pure Pickup???s tone with a light shimmer in the high end and a beautiful warm midrange. This combination features a compression-like tone that rivals studio recordings. The STEAM setting provides a much more substantial tone louder bigger and with superb feedback rejection. It is great if you need to bring the guitar up front in a mix.

The Double Helix can be used as a stand-alone pickup for players who want a simple setup and a plug-and-play amplification solution. Even so the Double Helix is a top-of-the-line solution that delivers K&K's signature quality and sound. The tone switch will be an eye-opener for players who have used other soundhole pickups. Having a setting for strumming (GLOSS) and another one for melody lines (STEAM) is almost like having a "Les Paul" with two pickups one for "rhythm" and one for "lead"! All this is done in purely passive fashion no battery or electronic circuit inside the guitar is needed! For the Double Helix Solo we also offer an external endpin adapter for players who do not wish to alter their guitar to install a new endpin jack.

in a way that would enhance the final tone. The Double Helix features two switches which are easily accessible even during play. One switch is for the phase and the second switch is for tone. For players who swear by the Pure Pickup the Double Helix will be a welcome addition to their setup. This combination will achieve what was so difficult to do: enhance the already great sound of the Pure Pickup!
