Re: Gallagher Guitar G50 pickup??
My wife has a Gallagher... but we don't have a pickup in it, so not much direct help there.
However... she does have transducers on some other guitars and there are two approaches that (in my opinion) produce "pretty good" results:
1) Active undersaddle transducer + Fishman Aura Spectrum DI. The Aura system can work very well...
2) Soundboard contact transducers (K&K or similar) + Headway EDB-2 preamp. No digital trickery here....but super EQ options.
I do not rate either as high as a really good microphone, but both can produce very acceptable results in quite difficult circumstances. If a great mic is 10, I'd say you can reach around 8.00 with these once you get the optimum settings worked out. Some pickup systems, I'd go no higher than a 2 or 3...
