ACCOUSIC GUITAR...restore tone...kill feedback

TC ELECTRONIC BODYREZ

The piezo pickup is still the only practical way to get a mic like tone for your acoustic guitar. Big improvements in onboard acoustic electics have improved the EQ to get back more of the original
overall tone of your guitar. BUT...the pickup can only grab the sound of the strings and a tiny area around the bridge. The other big downer is the acoustic feedback problem. The sound of the entire band is going in the sound hole and vibrating the top of the guitar...so you get that big honking feedback.

To the rescue comes the Bodyrez. It restores and or creates the lost body resonance. Best of all it at least makes the guitar usable by killing the feedback. The function is dead simple...dial in some resonance to taste and your done. The box takes care of the feedback...no need to even tweak a second knob for that.

Still for feedback alone this is a 'keeper'
Hell this thing even improves on my Martin.

If you use a funky old guitar...for a blues or folk thing ...perhaps an old Stella, Kay or Harmony it can improve the tone.

 Gretsch make a very nice cheap Parlor guitar the Jim Dandy. Like old pedals...the Stella etc. are getting pricey and harder to find. Perhaps you have a very old Martin or other guitar from the 20's or 30's and you do not want to 'carve it up'. The Jim Dandy is perfect...slap in a piezo...get a Bodyrez and you are ready to got
Plus you get all the 'Mod Cons'...better bridge...better neck...with adjustable truss rod...comfortable shape and low action. Nice!


The whole package is cheap enough to get you to add some acoustic playing for your band.
The old Gretsch  funky look and sound has the same cache as an expensive Martin. Let alone the fact that most guitars that have prices that fall in between have a zero 'cool' factor.
Not bad. Yes the tone is funky...but both the tone and the guitar are Pro!
