The sweetness of a soundboard transducer, with the feedback resistance of an under-saddle pickup! With patented technology James May Engineering is proud to offer the Ultra Tonic Pickup V3 – a unique solution for guitarists who love the microphonic quality of a soundboard pickup, but need to play in real-world environments where feedback is an issue.

It’s a soundboard transducer with a twist—an integrated feedback cancellation sensor that cleans up the low end boom and mud typical of other soundboard transducers, and the same time greatly reduces feedback.

The UTP V3.2-ST works with most 6-string and 12-string flat-top steel-string acoustic guitars, as well as nylon string and other guitars without a center brace.

How does it sound?

Clear and crisp, with great articulation and perfect string-to-string balance, without the low end of tubbiness of some other transducer pickups. Compared to typical under saddle transducers, the warmth and natural attack characteristics of this pickup are very compelling.

How well does it work?

It has a lot more feedback immunity—typically at least 10dB more than the nearest competitor at the fundamental chamber resonance around 100Hz. That makes it a lot more usable in real-world situations. Feedback is no longer an issue. Sound-hole plugs and notch filters will usually not be necessary, even under quite loud situations.

The pickup and included circuit board are totally passive, and totally noise free. No batteries, minimal intrusion. It has a low output impedance and a high output level which makes it non-fussy about what you plug it into. It provides no-compromise performance into instrument inputs of any impedance 500Kohms or greater. The bass response does not change if higher input impedances are used.
