“I’ve waited 20 years for this system. Finally every sound an acoustic guitar can produce, in one flexible, simple pickup system. It’s your guitar but in 3D. The “everything” pickup.”
Fishman and Jon Gomm have teamed up to create a pickup system that captures his inimitable style and every nuance of dynamics, ambiance, and percussion.
U.K. singer-songwriter and acoustic solo performer Jon Gomm is nothing short of guitar phenom. An acclaimed virtuoso, Gomm combines techniques in slapping, tapping and retuning as he plays, producing a huge, multi-layered sound filled with bass, drums and near-orchestral depth and complexity from a single guitar.
His songs are often deeply emotive, whether with or without his soft, affecting voice. And his live performances are intimate and powerful, but always punctured by his natural North of England wit and self deprecation.
The Jon Gomm Signature Series PowerTap Earth Pro features Fishman’s premium Rare Earth Mic Blend soundhole pickup combined with a Tap body sensor pickup to capture percussive elements and natural dynamics without the risk of feedback.
The Rare Earth pickup offers a pickup-mounted Low Frequency Extension switch for greater performance flexibility. Additionally, PowerTap Earth Pro includes an endpin jack mounted preamp with the option of using a 2nd jack for multiple output options (stereo breakout adapter included).
