My bandmate just got this and we had a jam last night. I was skeptical when he told me about this pedal. I've been a live acoustic player for years and have sworn by my Radial Tonebone. A tried and true road worthy DI. When he plugged in the LR Baggs, without even setting it up- just stock...outta the box...I was blown away. My words to him were - F##k you. :) We then jammed a bit- me with a Guild D55, and him with his Hummingbird. Next I brought out my old Gibson J35, then my 1975 Martin D35, and then my Rigel A+Deluxe mandolin (another real test is how a DI works with a mando) - they were all fantastic. I bought one immediately. Cool thing about this pedal is it inspires you to play. Can't wait to get it!

Nice sound, great internal pickup system! Best results I’ve heard so far from this unit. Beautiful playback as well

This seems like a pretty brilliant way to use IR’s. It sounds great!

Is his voice mic of when he’s playing the voice print?

looks like the ambient mic is on while the "print"is playing and off when the pickup only.....am i right, it makes a big difference..

Makes the use of IR's accessible to the not so techy ones out there. I bet it could be pulled off with the use of the HX stomp and your own acoustic IR's. Might have to try it out.

What shines through apart from the guitarist is the quality of the guitar, what a great sounding instrument, i prefer some sttings compared to others but they all sound good with that guitar !

Wrong. He would make a $100 Yamaha sound good. He knows how to play.

@@davida7120 Wrong - that guitar has some special qualities about its sound. Rustic, antique and warm. Doesn't mean he's not an amazing player.

How do l use this pedal with an acoustic preamp?

I’m a big L.R. Baggs fan, happy with my lyric. This seems to be a clever way to amplify acoustic guitar on stage

Huh so I use this little box with my existing pickup in my acoustic?

Why not on Android? It seems that the app is working only on IPhone. Is that right? Is there any chance for an android version in the future?

Does it work with a 12 strings guitar?

I know the Voiceprint doesn’t run on phantom power, but what happens if the sound engineer turns the phantom on while my voiceprint is powered on with a 9v 500mA from an isolated power brick? Like many venues has phantom power engaged on their acoustic channel by default and just worried..

Hmmm. The XLR out is likely AC-coupled via series caps, and that would block phantom power from back-feeding in and causing damage. But you'd probably hear a pop when phantom is flipped on or off. You'd have to ask Baggs to be sure, but that's the typical deal.

No engineer should be turning on phantom power as any kind of ‘default’.

Why all the reviews compares the toneprint with a piezo and non the internal mic? The anthem has an internal mic.

I have a couple Anthems. It sounds like he is using the mic, but the piezo is always handling the low frequencies (below 250 Hz.) even when set to "full mic."

Why would (do) you use a cheap phone microphone to sample the sound? This is a real question. How can that work?

From my understanding, the iPhone mic can measure frequencies. It’s designed to capture the frequency response of the guitar but disregards the room ambience. So you’re not actually capturing the audio of the instrument in the room, just the EQ response.

The only thing I am noticing is that the voiceprints tend to be overly bright.

could just adjust to taste with eq or make profiles till you get what your after.

Could we conclude that it doesn’t matter what brand of the pickup you use with this DI?

I'd bet it can improve almost any pickup and get "close," but the ping of an average UST-only system might still be audible. That's not a purely EQ thing, it's a bursty, non-linear thing that isn't easy to yank out with EQ (and the IR is a complex EQ). I would guess that the better the pickup, the less the IR has to work, and the more natural it will sound. I might have to buy one and find out.

No compression = dealbreaker. :(

No reverb, either. You could stick a couple pedals in the loop easy enough.

he didnt do the PICKING part right hahahaha it means finger picking
