funkydunkey · 2009-11-03 00:44:43

any ideas how to get an elec sound from an acoustic like this? any idea what kind of pickups, and pedals it would take to get this. i toyed around with the acoustic years ago tryin to get something like this sound. with painful results. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9gAqvttwq8

A magnetic pickup and some sort of overdrive (probably tubescreamer) used sparingly. Seymour Duncan, Shadow and several other companies make magnetic pickups for acoustics. The Seymour Duncan Woody is a nice one.

Another big part of it is technique.
