Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ

l'ho montato sull'acustica di mio nipote, dreadnought economica ma valida che nel pomeriggio abbiamo collegato tramite una pedaliera di mooer ad una testata da venti watt e cassa 1x12 v30. suono eccellente, controlli funzionali e funzionanti anche se scomodi. senza prendere in considerazione il suono acustico siamo riusciti a suonarci anche gli ac/dc con ottimi risultati. poi, in solitaria, ho suonato un bel po' di grant lee buffalo. peccato non averlo provato anche sulla 12 corde!
ne ho comprato un altro. peccato che non sia disponibile la versione con jack femmina interno.
saluti

I have always found hybrid acoustic/electric guitar interesting, ever since watching the Nirvana Unplugged thing on MTV. I really liked Kurt Cobain's tone from that event. I had always assumed that the the guitar he was playing was some kind of homebrew, but that wasn't the case. Kurt's guitar is a Martin 15e, made in the 1950's, and pretty rare. Anyway that's what I was after, not too sure that the Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ delivered, but that's not to say that I didn't like what it did deliver. A distorted sound from an acoustic is definitely a novel, original sound, which I liked very much. The Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ does also provide a decent clear tone, OK not exactly an acoustic sound, but then if that's what you are after, then you'd be better with 1 of the 100's of piezo pickups. The only gripe I have, is the volume and tone controls are a bit hard to access. This is pretty minor thou, I mean at least they are there. Fitting the Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ, was a breeze, it has 2 screws and captive nuts, that create a clamp, which is padded, which attaches the pickup to the sound hole of your acoustic. I fitted the Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ, with the strings off, and it took me just a couple of minutes. All in all, a great little addition to your tone arsenal, I have used it to add dimension to home recordings. It's a nice looking thing too, and appears to be very well built, and cheap too. I really don't know how they can do this type of quality at this price. I can definitely recommend the Artec Memphisys 66 OSJ, do yourself a favour and get one.
