    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!
    FAQs:
    1. Can Double X0 be used on Classical Guitar?
    A: No, Magnetic pickups need steel string guitars. The Fishman pickup will be a right choice for classical guitars
    2. Can you transfer the pickup from one Guitar to another.
    A: Yes you Can on the Double X0. Fishman can be transferred but a hole will be left on your Guitar
    3. Can I fit it on my Yamaha F280 / FS80c / F310 / Cort AD810 / Fender CD60V3 / Kadence Etc
    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.

      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

    • @JohnsmusicIn
      @JohnsmusicIn  Рік тому +3

      @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.

    • @dhpth
      @dhpth Місяць тому +1

      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.

      @ryanseanmusicandlove 8 місяців тому +1

      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.

    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.....

    • @JohnsmusicIn
      @JohnsmusicIn  Рік тому +1

      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.

      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.

  • @thesunilrock20
    @thesunilrock20 Рік тому +1

    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.

    • @JohnsmusicIn
      @JohnsmusicIn  Рік тому +3

      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.

    • @denisa80

      ​@@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.

      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.
