I am trying to get some more information about which Pickup was used by
Miller (was it the GK-3 ??)
Hi Luigi and list,
here's what I use:
-Roland GK-2A pickup ( http://www.roland.com/products/en/GK-2A/specs.html ) -a homebrew 6-channel preamp which gives 6 balanced line signals that go straight into my soundcard. First the preamp's signal was not balanced but I got ground loop noise at some venues. Even before that, I had a preamp built into my roland GR-50, but then I figured I wasn't going to use that anyway, so I got rid of it completely. The preamp also provides power for the GK-2A. Although the pickup is right next to the bridge, after eq-ing out some highs I can get pretty decent results. I have some recordings online if you want.
gr, Tim
Hi all,
I believe mine is a GK-2A as well. I built an unbalanced preamp and power supply, and didn't get any appreciable hum. (However, I do sometimes get ground loop trouble batween computers and audio systems and sometimes have to ground lift my computer and monitor, which is a bit dangerous.)
I've put the files up on http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/lac/ but I don't know if they'll be too useful for folks who weren't there to see what the patches did. Roughly speaking, the patch works out the techniques described in the "patch for guitar" paper.
cheers Miller

If you don't want to build your own, RMC has a preamp/breakout box

Slightly expensive though...
