Ever Since the arrival of Double X0 pickup in India, its made lives easier for Guitarists who wants to make the Acoustic into a Semi-Acoustic. With Ease of Installation, without much expertise, the Double X0 is one of our most recommended pickups for performers. Featuring a long battery life and great tone control, Double X0 overpowers the legendary Fishman when compared side by side. The 'Air' available on the Magnetic Pickup was something that a Piezo Pickup could not produce.
With the increasing number of performing Musicians in India, the Double Pickup is one of the optimum choice in terms of features, sound and even the Price. Its time for Fishman to UP their game!

A: Yes, You can fit the Double X0 and the Fishman Sonitone as long as it has a standard Sound hole.
4. Will it affect the sound on my Guitar?
A: No it wont change the sound of the Guitar in any manner.
5. Do I need expertise to fit the pickup on my own?
A: The Double X0 pickup needs no expertise to fit. Fishman sonitone will need expertise and a specialty tool like Dremel for Installation.

Piezo vs Magnetic Pickup
Cheapest Pickup for Guitar
Thank you for an excellent presentation of the differences between the pickups. I must say that I was quite surprised at how much better the XO sounds.
Surprisingly double XO is more natural sounding ♥️ thankyou so much for such helpful videos
Glad we helped :)
Yes Double X0 is a more natural sounding pickup. And offers much more at a lesser price.
@@JohnsmusicIn i will buy one soon : )
it's actually an unfair comparison. double x0 also has a condenser mic in it. hence it sounds better ...not really comparable with a piezo only fishman
@thesunilrock20 we have NOT kept the condenser mic on for this comparison. It’s purely piezo vs magnetic for educational reasons. So in all aspects we tried to be fair.
Because the sound was recorded to the sound interface directly, not use the mic to capture the sound from acoustic amp. So it is good comparison if we use mic to capture the sound from acoustic amp of both sonitone and double XO. The sound from piezo is more dry because the output impedance of fisman sonitone may be not matching with input impedance of sound interface
Would have been good to compare the magnetic pickup on its own with the mic blend on the XO.
I have the XO and so far I really like it. I have a number of piezo mic blends but I like the XO as piezo is a bit clacky sounding.
The XO also has bass and treble control for the magnetic pickup and separate tone for the mic so you can adjust the bass for bronze strings which means great balance.
Sir Can I use bronze strings with double xo. My second question is what is a guitar di tone and distortion. Pls tell in easy language. My third question is that what setting can I do on double x0 pickup to get natural, acoustic and real sound of my guitar.
Which speaker was used to record sound
Thankyou very informative and helpful video.
The Piezo is not a wire, it's a ceramic element. The XO is not ONLY magnetic, it has a microphone.
Hmmm prefect song for the test 😁😁
Agree lol 😆
Muy buen video, tenia tiempo viendo esta pastilla pero no encontraba reviews, estuvo bien la comparación de pastillas, a mi me pareció escuchar un sonido más fiel a lo acustico por parte de la Double X0.
That is true. Double X0 sounded more natural.
What happens if the battery goes bad in the XO Double pickup? Is it replaceable and where to buy the battery?
It's replaceable bro
That’s my concern .
sir can we record guitar by connecting to laptop directly with this magnetic pickup….???
Hi Team.. Can u plz share link to guy this guitar which u used in this video
Hii, is Double XO pickup good for percussion? And how much backup it give after one time charge ?
It is good for percussive playing. The artists who have installed this have reported almost 12 performances in a single charge.
Very well done sir but it would be nice to know how much the microphone was blended when you recorded the XO pickup.
I believe he used just the magnetic pole version. the one with included condenser mic is $82 vs $45 and is also wireless. The mic on the $82 version is nice to have in moderation. Turn it up too much and you'll head to feedback .. 😊 btw the wireless is great for about 20ft away as long as there's no wifi routers right by the stage.
Sir I want to add pickup on my kepma es 36 guitar which one is best for my guitar
Can we install Double XO pickup on Yamaha APX 600 ??
Sometimes make videos on violin and accessories also
Thank you for the feedback. Duly noted.
Hello, can I use the XO to replace Fishman Presys Preamp, for Fender CD140SCE, the original Piezo under saddle Bridge pickup is out of service
Yes for sure. Will sound real good.
Hey so i need help in deciding a pickup for my accoustic guitar and would be glad if you can help...
my problem is i dont have a nail on my thumb and due to it im not able to create some good tones on top 2 strings since they dont vibrate that much with thumbskin as compared to top nail also im not comfortable with the thumb picks so i wanted a pickup that can pickup minute vibrations and can amplify it.....
Double x0 is quite a sensitive pick-up. However there is a limit to sensitivity as if it’s very high u will end up with feedback.
So it’s technique + equipment.
Full reliance on either on them doesn’t give top quality results.
Hello sir plzz make a video on PRS SE AX20E guitar
What is your recording technique? Are you using a DI? How does the sound change with live sound? Especially for X0
We are plugging the guitar directly into the audio interface. The live sound is similar but it will also depend on the equipment you are connecting to.
Is it possible to have both the pickups on the same guitar and blend the two pickups?
Yes indeed! This guitar used in the demo has two outputs.
@@JohnsmusicIn awesome!
acoustifex go pickup vs 20w acoustic guitar amp with under Rs.1000 clip on pickup for budget buyer?
Kepma edca k10 series plz update a video...sound check
Is the DI tone of acoustic fx go pickup is same as this one? I'm planning to buy this one or the acoustic fx go
Yes the D.I tone is same on both pickups. Acoustifex Go has the effects that's all.
Can I install this Fishman pickup+an internal mic system from your store??
I have to say this comparison is a bit misleading as it its comparing a piezo pickup (fishman) with a magnetic with condenser mic in it pickup (double x0). both are entirely different and not really comparable they serve different purposes. it's like comparing a dreadnought jumbo guitar with a 34 inch parlor travel guitar. They both sound inherently different.
When buying an electric guitar, An active pickup can be compared to a passive pickup just to understand what a buyer is getting into. Similarly this video is to educate the sound difference between two different technologies. To be fair we haven’t kept the mic ON in this comparison. The difference is the beauty and In the end it’s the buyers preference of sound.
What different purposes do they serve?) Please explain! ) There is only one purpose, this is sound output😆And X0 obviously copes with this better.
@@denisa80Truly. Piezo pickups have a sound of their own; brittle and soulless. A good microphone and magnetic system comes as close to reality as you can without a studio environment and a high quality condenser microphone. Sound is subjective, but reality isn't. The Fishman is a poor runner-up here.
Sir is the sound come direct via amplifier or pc after edit
Directly plugged into an audio interface.
@@JohnsmusicIn ok can you share buying link

Btw which guitar is this
Forbidden riff😂😂😂 hey stop playing 😂😂
The xo is also wireless
I have tried 3 different kinds of wireless soundhole pickups. They are all good, including no noticeable delay, but the microphones are not great - maybe just not in the right location being that they must be integrated into the main magnetic unit. I like the Double X0 best.
