yes great warm sound .. just what I am looking for
Awesome!!!..I just got one...Totally impressed with this Pick-up on a stick!!it is even better than what i thought it would be..i started out trying to slide it under the strings ,but ended up just putting on new strings and then putting it under and was a lot easier ...the jumper cable is a bonus and glad its there ...im not the easiest on Equip....Im running thru a Fender Tube Amp & have Exellent Sound ..No regrets at all about getting this baby !!!!...thanx
I’m glad you liked man! Congrats! I love those products!
I snapped the head straight off the NG-1 pickup after a few months by standing on the chord (in a passionate jam frenzy with my pianist son) and then standing up abruptly. I liked the pickup very much though and will buy this model here. Yes, that clip is very important to wear! Thanks for your review.
I’m waiting for the NG-2 to become available in Canada. Gonna have to settle for the NG-1 for the moment. Great review.
I’ve been lucky to play the KNA’s pretty exclusively and I am very satisfied with how they sound. Very affordable, and very great sound. Enjoy!
Andecy .. used to play it years ago .. want to go back and re-learn :)
Andrew York! One of the greats!
great video .. would it work in a live setting ? ie issue with feedback , does it require a preamp etc ?
No preamp, plug and play directly.
Hi Justin, nice review. Thanks. How is the volume output of this pickup and do I need to run it through a pre-amp before if I connect it to an Apogee audio interface? Does it catch the sound of the cord while playing? I've also heard it breaks easily. I don't play live and plan to keep it permanently installed on my classical guitar for studio recordings mainly. Would you recommend it for that purpose?
I found that I can go way louder then I’d ever need to use. No need for preamp. I have mine installed on my guitar all the time. Also, just used the attached cable clip to your belt, and you won’t have any issues with breaking
@@JustinHatt1 Thanks for the reply. Just realised I have ball end strings on my classical so will have to change the strings to use the tie ones. How is the quality of the recording using this pick up and does it capture the natural sound of the guitar or makes it sound tinny? The NG-2 doesn't seem to be available anywhere online. Wonder when they'll make it available?
I like the NG-2 very much. I think it’s the best pick up system out there. It really makes the guitar feel - to the true sound of the instrument. It’s doesn’t sound flat or tinny. Captures the true sonic tone.
@@JustinHatt1 Thanks Justin. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. :)) This is perfect then since I have a handmade Amalio Burguet 3M classical guitar and don't want to cut it up to get it amplified. :))
@@JustinHatt1 does it capture percussion like flamenco, hitting the soundboard?
Thanks. Just ordered this for my Yamaha Guitelele. I want to start using it through my portable Roland Mobile AC amp.
Just got the guitar a few months ago, my first nylon in 40 years, and it still has the stock strings on it. What brand/type strings do you recommend for this little thing, which plays more like a ukelele than a guitar?
Sounds totally rad! I’ve used several brands of strings. You can never go wrong with D’Addario, but personally I’ve been using the Martin Magnifico strings, I really like the tone and overall playability.
@@JustinHatt1 I just came back from Guitar Center, and bought D’Addario’s and LaBella.
I didn’t even realize you had to tie the loops yourself. I thought they came pre-looped!
great!!! what amp are you using for your guitar?
Thanks for listening! The amp is a nux acoustic ac-30
I bought the NG-1 after wathcing your demo. The most natural sounding than most built-in ones. I hope the NG-2 will be available soon in my country.
Does this passive pickup works on small little practice amp (about 10w)?
They are great aren’t they!!
It should work fine on any size amp.
hi justin, could this pickup work with Reverbs and Pedals like hall of fame?! I honestly only wanna get a pickup to be able to plug into a pedal
Great question! I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t do that. I never thought about that. My amp has built in reverb, and chorus for my acoustic guitars so I never thought to try it. But I’m pretty sure you could without much issue. You will probably have to adjust your settings accordingly to match the output of the pick up, and obviously EQ it all. Hope that helps!
@@JustinHatt1 One more thing to mention tho I read in the official page of KNA that its better to first plug into a pre amp or a Di box to get a optimum sound than directly to an amp. Can you recommend me a great Preamp as well? What do you think of Roland Cube amplifier as well justin?! Thanks for help
Sounds dead, like it's underwater or behind a curtain. Can this lack of treble issue be fixed with EQ?
Hi Justin, I came across a review which says this about the KNA NG-2 - "
It really says that?
what is the riff you're playing? I've heard it sampled by emancipator on their song dusk to dawn
Which one?
@@JustinHatt1 2:39 :)
just listed with studio headphones [flat and accurate] altough it is a very clean signal and pure , its very dull , has almost no highend pressence and and mid boost I would suspect arround 300hz, it probally would sound amazing with some strong equalization. BUT compared to the miced room sound , it sounds so much brigher and accurate., its a shamed they didnt include a graphic eq or at minium a tone nob ,
It’s all subjective, I understand where you’re coming from though. I still think it is the best pick up option out there for classical guitars. Most pick ups that amplify nylon strings just frankly suck. This by KNA is in my opinion the best sounding and true pure sound for $100. I think you have to give them a try outside of just a TH-cam video. Purchase from Sweetwater, and give it a try. If you aren’t satisfied return it with no risk.
@@JustinHatt1 @Justin Hatt im not sure about about subjective, more objective . . . there is a strong clear distinction between the live sound when you mic the room and when you ran the signal pure, it definitley is a strong clean signal, no noise , no humming, hissing , but defintiley does not capture the what it sounds like in real life. . your video cleary demonatrates that at 4:10 your playing pure, then 10 seconds later you switched over to mic-ed the room, the difference is night and day, it is a bold statement to say it captures the authentic sound when you switch over the difference is so profound. . . not saying its bad they just need to ad a eq chip and then that thing would phenomenal, funny side note, I just tried to find that that section at 4l10 on my laptop speakers and could not tell where it is it all sounded the same thru shity laptop speaker had to plug the studio headphones back in to find it, it just shows nobody even cares any more every body listens to music on there laptop, cellphone or tiny bluetooth speakers, , making distinguisments between good sound quality and bad sound quality moot. .
@@JustinHatt1 Your being subjective you played 3 open chords and the string squeak and dull sound is just unusable for serious musicians
Will it work with ball end strings?
This one is specifically made for nylon strings although kna Kremona does have steel string versions
Can that be connected to a tonewood amp
Tone wood amp I’m sure has its own out put so wouldn’t need the KNA
La compra es el micrófono Pastilla KNA GN2
how does it compare to the ng-1 pickup?
I am not sure, I have not used the NG1 before.
How many times does he say “cool”?
Not enough obviously 🙄
Ola buenas noches como interesado en la compra del producto que muestras puedes informar valor precio 2:51 colombiano forma de pago y si le fácil decirme ubicación MI Residencia es Bogotá D C
mine sounds great but the treble strings get out of tune
Are you sure it’s placed in correctly?
Put new strings and place it better
My saddle is too low. It won't fit.
Sorry to hear that it should just fit right underneath the saddle and if anything, it should run flush with it
@@JustinHatt1 Yeah, this thing looks good, I have a cheapy Chinese made Giannini, the whole bridge is a little bit different design. I will keep this in mind though. thanks.
Absolutely good luck!
It sticks out too much. It will catch on to something and rip the entire pickup in two pieces.
Maybe the video doesn’t do a good job of showing it, but it really doesn’t stick out that far. It has a really slender profile that runs stream line with the bridge. I’ve had no issues getting the actual pick up caught on anything. But I will say you have to be mindful of the cord when you are plugging in. It is handy to use the belt clip. Hope that clears up any concerns. Cheers, -JH
@@JustinHatt1 you played 3 open chords and got really bad string squeak i will stick to condensor mics
Bulgarian guitars.
