On its own, the Powerbridge™ Pickup provides a subtle and
intimate "acoustic" sound. But the real fun begins when you
blend Piezo and magnetic signals together. With the complete
Fishman Powerbridge™ System you can blend the
Powerbridge™ Pickup with clean magnetic sounds for bright,
percussive tones - or with your favorite distortion settings for
a range of hybrid clean and dirty tones.
The Powerbridge™ System
also affords you a wide range
of signal routing options.
Send the Powerbridge™
signal with your magnetic
signal to a single guitar amp
or feed it to a PA and the
magnetic signal to your
onstage amp for lush, room-
filling “electro-acoustic”
effects.
