Most of the acoustic guitar pickups we install don’t come with controls for volume or EQ. Here’s a solution we should have thought of years ago!
When it comes to acoustic pickup systems, our favorite ons are simple rigs that run directly out through an endpin jack – doubling as a strap button. These systems (like the K&K Pure Mini) sound great, but usually lack any controls for volume or EQ. Our feeling is that you don’t miss the EQ controls since you can conture bass and treble at the amplifier (or have it done for you by a sound guy in a club or concert setting.) But the one control that is nice to have at your side is volume and the Taylor V Cable is a great solution to that problem.
That’s a volume pot right there on a right-angle plug of a 10, 12, or 15 foot cable (longer lengths are available by special order.) You can easily adjust your volume or turn it all the way down when switching guitars. They start at just $60; don’t require cutting a hole in the side of your guitar; and if you have multiple acoustic/electrics you only need to buy one! What a great solution. We should have thought of it ourselves, but Taylor and Rapco Horizon beat us to it. Big thumbs up on this great product.
