One-thousandth the weight of a
piezo. The heart of BLUESTiCK is a miniaturized electrostatic condenser
microphone with a moving mass of just 0.0014 milligrams. Because
it’s so remarkably light, it can fully respond to the incredibly
subtle harmonic vibrations that truly determine the sound of your
guitar. You’ll immediately hear a richer, more complex sound
without the “midrange suck-out” that plagues piezo pickups.
A true story from the road. Schertler
recently demoed BLUESTiCK for a highly respected manufacturer
of acoustic guitars. Their initial reaction was that “the
midrange was thick” when compared to the piezo pick-ups
they were used to. So we had them sit halfway between the guitar
and amp…and then turned the amp all the way down so they
were just hearing the guitar. As we slowly brought up the amplifier
(and BLUESTiCK pick-up), jaws dropped. The listeners realized
they were hearing an identical sound with all of their guitar’s
rich midrange correctly reproduced by BLUESTiCK!
Up to 10dB more volume before feedback.
The BLUESTiCK microphone element is housed in a hermetically sealed
sound chamber just two-tenths of a millimeter thick. This unique
acoustic resonator evenly collects sound from each string and
delivers it to the transducer via a logarithmically-scaled high
pressure zone at the exact center.
System resonance remains out of
the audible frequency spectrum, so you get considerably more volume
before feedback - without resorting to notch filters or equalizers.
Quit compensating for your transducer. One of the first things
seasoned players comment on is that with BLUESTiCK, they can finally
play naturally when amplified at stage volumes. They no longer
have to hold back to avoid saturation, clipping or feedback…
because BLUESTiCK provides far more feedback resistance than piezo
pickups thanks to its extreme acoustic isolation. You can play
louder - and softer - than before.
Simple, non-invasive installation.
BLUESTiCK consists of a micro-Class A preamp module with over
1,000 hours playing time between lithium battery changes, the
patented undersaddle condenser transducer, and an ingenious Sound
Wheel that allows quick volume changes while maintaining full
gain control. Just one small hole needs to be drilled under the
guitar’s saddle. BLUESTiCK requires no visual modification
of your instrument - no more unsightly control panels, volume
knobs, and so on. We offer eight BLUESTiCK models to fit any acoustic
guitar, from classic to western, nylon to steel string, as well
as 12-string and acoustic bass guitar.
