LR BaggsALIGN SERIES SESSION PEDAL

Have this pedal running through my AER amp and it sounds stunning.

Hatte mir ein paar Geräte zum testen bestellt (L.R. Baggs Voiceprint d.i.; Nux Air) und das L.R. Baggs Align Session. Durch einige YouTube Videos auf die Geräte aufmerksam geworden. Nur gleichzeitiges testen ist hilfreich. Wollte live über FOH einen besseren Akustik Sound meiner Martin Gitarren. Diese Geräte habe ich alle nur Live mit der Martin John Mayer (mit original Pickup) und FOH getestet.Das Voiceprint d.i. und der Nux gehen zurück. Das L.R. Baggs Align Session bleibt. !!Den Sound bereichert es immer !Ich kann mit dem Mixer unter Einsatz des Compressors und EQ einen sehr guten Sound erreichen. Das was aber das Session oben drauf setzt bekomme ich mit den FOH Mitteln nicht alleine erreichen. Der Sound mit dem Session ist immer "geiler". Das Pedal gibt den letzten Kick dazu. es wird musikalischer Komprimiert, es kommt mehr fülle, frische hinzu. Letztlich nur schwer zu beschreiben. Finde auch die Soundbeispiele z.B. YouTube geben es nicht wieder. Rate dazu es zu kaufen, testen. Aber unter live Bedingungen!! also in FOH.Ich behalte es, fertig.

I'm really no audio-wizard so I can't really give an in-depth review on what's going on under the hood, but as far as I can describe this pedal makes the sound more crisp, warm ans bright. I think it's a matter of EQ - if you're happy with the dry tone of your instrument, this pedal takes it that extra mile and brings it to life.I've recorded some A/B examples with the pedal. In addition to the align session pedal an impulse response is in the chain prior - if you've found this review usefull it'd make my day if you tag it as usefull <3

Had I known this existed I might have been able to save myself some money and a bunch of time. Stay with me here.I have two guitars... a Martin D-28 and a McPherson Sable (carbon fiber). Each has its strengths and weaknesses but my favorite is the McPherson, that came with a factory-installed undersaddle piezo pickup. I had installed an LR Baggs IBeam Active in the Martin and other than a tendency to occasionally get in a feedback loop, sounded pretty good. For those that aren't familiar with one, it's basically a microphone pickup affixed to the inside of the body of the guitar, at the saddle. It is warm and faithfully reproduces the sound of the instrument.The McPherson was another story. The piezo pickup was extremely responsive and overly bright. It did a good job of cutting through other instruments, but alone, it was somewhat strident. To deal with it, I replaced the factory installed LR Baggs Element pickup with an LR Baggs Anthem SL. The amplified sound changed dramatically for the better. But, I was looking for even more. So I went internet shopping for recommendations, and that led me to the Align Series Session pedal. It promised warmth and fullness, so, I bought one.That pedal was the single best thing that ever happened to either of my guitars, but what it did for the McPherson was amazing. In retrospect, I probably could have gotten by just fine with the factory installed pickup if I had bought this pedal first.What it does is add fullness and warmth to the sound. The Compression side squeezes the range down a bit, which tames the brilliance beast, and the Saturate side brings out fullness. It's pretty remarkable. It'll make any guitar sound more expensive.If you play in a group or a band (I play at my church) and are looking for a richer, fuller sound out of your acoustic guitar, get one. Actually, if you just play at home with an amp, it's still worth it. The pedal's not cheap but it does everything it says it will. No pedal that works well is inexpensive, but I can't imagine your experience being any different than mine. You'll wish you'd know about it sooner. And then you'll be checking out the Align Series Reverb pedal... and the Delay... Where does it end? I'm hoping to answer those questions shortly. I have a birthday coming up, so... maybe another review coming up?This is an easy 5-star product. It. Just. Works.

This pedal works great. I use it with my Boss digital reverb pedal, it’ compresses and evens out the sound and tone, helps with the dynamicsOf my acoustic guitar.( 1975 Simon Patrick Luther pro. With L.R Baggs signature electronics.
