Lace Releases Aluma Disc Acoustic Soundhole Pickup

This new soundhole pickup offers both feedback suppression and amplified sound from one unit.

Cypress, CA (January 19, 2017) -- Lace Music Products is introducing the new, Aluma Disc magnetic pickup for acoustic guitar.

Building upon the Lace patented ā€œcurrent drivenā€ technology, Aluma Disc offers the player a pickup which offers both feedback suppression and amplified sound in one unit. As natural feedback occurs through many playing situations, the Aluma Disc covers the entire soundhole area while also acting as the magnetic pickup for the guitar.

Based on patented Alumitone technology, which uses an initial ā€œcurrentā€ rather than voltage design, the pickup is the soundhole feedback suppressor in simple terms.

An elegant design with simple installation gives the Aluma Disc a true acoustic tone without any noise or feedback. Conventional magnetic designs would incur a large coil as part of the pickup, whereas the Aluma Disc coil is designed with 95 percent less copper wire. The Aluma Disc winding weighs a mere 3 ounces, thus defeating the chance of coil feedback and eliminating outside noise completely.

The Aluma Disc will be available Spring 2017. The suggested retail price is $128.99.

The Miku was introduced about 10 years ago and is based on the vocal stylings of Hatsune Miku, a virtual pop icon. But it does much more than artificial vowels and high-pitched words.

It’s tempting to think of this pedal as a joke. Don’t.

It all started a few years ago through a trade with a friend. I just wanted to help him out—he really wanted to get a fuzz pedal but didn’t have enough cash, so he offered up the Korg Miku. I had no idea then, but it turned out to be the best trade I’ve ever made.
