Size is awesome, but danggg...sounds like an un-amped electric :(

Aug 23, 2017

david.zamorayep, that's what the listing says. you amp it, and it sounds acoustic.
like... there's no resonance chamber. there's no way it could amplify itself with the design. i could tell that just by looking.

dolljointsAhh - okay. I initially watched the product video. The guy busts it out in a park (no amp) and begins playing...I was like 'umm, okay'.

david.zamoramy best guitar practising years have been on an un-amped electric though. such a thing is actually ideal if you have to not disturb people nearby and don't want to hook it up to a bunch of cables to play with headphones. such a sound isn't that big but the notes aren't out of tune or anything.
of course part of the draw of this guitar is when amped it sounds acoustic, rather than like an electric. all electric-acoustics do that, but most also have a resonance chamber for playing without. but they're also way bigger. this is like the macbook air of guitars.

dolljointsHi, it's just a little 9volt box (match box) you plug into guitar with a 3.5 headphone out. I left it in Tallahassee, but I think it also has tone and volume controll. About $20 -$30. Handy.

david.zamoraHi David,
Massdrop members asked for a video demonstrating our solid-body acoustic instruments unplugged and so we created it for the community. This instrument is not necessarily recommended for a "campfire" experience but more for a private practice experience through: Guitar Headphone Amplifiers Mobile Devices utilizing Daw/Guitar Apps Small Portable/Battery Powered Amplifiers Or simply by itself
But more and more customers use our guitars for performance using acoustic guitar amplifiers or powered speakers.
I hope that helps.

Elsiddamn, that's pretty rad! my cheapy transistor amp (guitar amp, not for hifi speakers or anything) broke recently, but its sound was kind of flat anyway, and using the headphone output was weird, which is a big part of why i've just used my electric unplugged. a wee box like that which could probably fit in a pocket might be ideal for when i do want to practise with a bigger sound!

david.zamoraIf you notice the recording of the video has the input volume very high and well placed mics. Listen to the birds chirping in the background, when the guy unzips the carry case and the sound from the guitar is obviously awesome on the recording but totally misleading. I really want a smaller guitar for camping/glamping that's loud enough to accompany my singing like around the campfire.

MatrolenYou may want to look at the Martin Backpacker. It has a small chamber, and easily produces volume sufficient for campfire songs.

Modded headphones with qudelix at the core

A decent set of IEMs

I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup

Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?

Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here

Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
