This review is from: Fishman Aura Ellipse - Wide (Electronics)

Hopefully what I am about to say helps someone make a decision about the Fishman Aura Ellipse. I don't have enough adjective's to express how impressed I am.

I have tried several different types to include Dual Source with a Mic and even though this one does not have a Mic the software from Fishman more than compensates for one. You can load any number of microphone makes into the Aura Ellipse and then cycle through to find the one that makes your guitar sound as though you had a lot of stage equipment. When I say you can load any number of mic makes that is true, but only 4 at a time. That has not been a problem for me because I take a couple of days with each load and then I have listed the ones I prefer. The software allows you to print your loads so you always know what you are playing.

Very easy to install and operate. Just make sure which pick-up you need...1/8" or 3/32" under-saddle.

As I continue to use this I will give another update if I find it less than I have indicated.

Happy Playing
