Monoprice Clip On Pickup - Black With 8 Inch Cable, 1/4 Staight Plug, Easy Tuning, Compatible With Acoustic Guitars , Cellos And Violins

The sound it sends is tinny.It does put out good high end, though.

Works great for what I needed. Couldn?t beat the price!

For the price it?s unbeatable. But it can be pretty low volume and can be noisy if you move around a lot and it?s not clipped tight. Overall though not bad, I bought 2. If you?re looking for live and professional I?d check elsewhere. For a fun pickup to clip on random stuff such as a Cajon or a ukelele. Not bad.

This pickup worked well for plugging into my tuner but was worthless as an actual pickup for amplifying sound. Too weak and tinny.

It failed to work with the Danelectro amplifier/speaker that came with my Martin Backpacker. I reached out and tried to learn about the impedance of the pickup, reasoning it might be a mismatch. Nobody replied to my queries. I don't have time trying to track down somebody who will 'own my problem' and tell me what to do.

It works great, but there are two considerations 1) where to clip it on and 2) where the cord is going to run. Since it was in the way clipping it in the sound hole, I clipped it on up by the tuning pegs. This resulted in a cord ... not where I'm used to having a cord ...

I bought this pickup for recording mandolin and it works much better than I thought it would. I just clamp it on the headstock and it works great. I don't know about durability because the cord is flimsy, but you can't go wrong for the price. I also don't know if would be good for live performance because it's not heavy duty.

Looks exactly like the pictures, picks up the sound well and does the job. I don't like the omnipresent "good for the price" but there's no way to do better for this price or even more expensive. Good purchase.

This clip on Pickup is an amazing simple way to amplify your sound like it has a built in electronics,plug it into a mixer or guitar amp and it sounds very good and you can sit next to the amp or mixer zero feed back the sound is better than built in electronics. P.A.

Not studio quality sound but works well in a pinch, can't go wrong for $5

Works for my guitar. Not extremely loud and would probably work best if you plugged it into a preamp, but it did work plugged straight into the mixer. Just clip to the headstock like a tuner. Great if you have several instruments you want to switch between. Can't beat it for the price and it works as good as the cheaper soundhole type. Tried using it in my cajon since it was advertised for percussion. Not so good. It might work for a regular drum where you can attach it to the rim, but it was no bueno for the cajon.

Box, packaged in an envelope, was open and included no instructions. Pickup has a 60hz hum but does pickup the guitar audio. There are probably better pickups out there.

This didn’t work. I clamped it to the sound hole of my Martin, plugged it into the amp, set it on 100 Watt output and maxed out the volume to finally hear it as loud as the unamplified guitar. I’m disappointed.

With a preamp dialed up it does come through with some decent clarity. you really cant go wrong with this lil guy! I use it on a Gretch New Yorker Mandolin.

Very good for what I am using it for. Very happy with the product

this is a great, cheap, fast way to amplify an acoustic instrument - you just need a place to clip it on where it isn't in the way of playing...decent tone ( a little crisp, but that is normal with piezos)

For two buck you have amplified sound. Its a $2 sound, but can be fun and allow volume for a player with acoustic only to plug in.

These are contact transducer pickups. There is no way you can clip one of� these onto the edge of a soundhole; because, it will be in your way of playing the guitar. However, since this pickup works by picking up frequencies due to the vibrations caused by the strings, you can clip it onto the headstock like you would a tuner. It actually works great and it sounds better than a lot of other types of pickups I've tried. However, no pickup, I don't care how expensive, can reproduce the true acoustic guitar sound. I found by clipping the pickup on the upper corner of the headstock (next to the "D" tuning key) reproduces an even volume among all six strings. Any other place on the headstock you will not hear the low notes from the E & A strings as strongly. And there is no feedback; I even played my guitar with the headstock only inches away from the amp. You can break the clip and attach the pickup to the lower bout with double sided adhesive tape. Had I known about these pickups long ago, I would have saved all that money I spent on all the other acoustic pickups I own. Absolutely a great buy at $1.99. I ordered 4, and I'm going to order 4 more.
