"Can one pickup turn an acoustic into a bass, electric and acoustic at the same time? Let's find out..."


Loop With Jack recently featured the SubPro, using it on his acoustic guitar for bass, electric and acoustic at the same time:

"This is the Sub Pro from Submarine Pickups, and I genuinely think it's one of the most inspiring pieces of equipment I have used in many, many years. Now, if you've been following my channel at all, you know that I'm into live looping. And more recently, I'm trying to build a live looping rig that does everything I need it to. The dream would be that one instrument could be taken to a gig, and it could cover all of my needs. I've tried a few different solutions to get that low end from a guitar, and I've still been swapping my acoustic and electric around depending on the song. But now that I've discovered the Sub Pro, it's really opened the doors to what's possible from one instrument. What really makes this super interesting is the fact that one pickup can have multiple outputs. This allows me to route things separately, for example, I've got the E and the A string currently going through some pedals on my pedal board through an octave to create that fake bass. I've then got the top four strings going to a completely different output so that I can stick it through my electric guitar pedals and get more of an electric guitar sound. All at the same time, still using the piezo that's installed on my acoustic guitar for your typical acoustic guitar sound. Installation was super simple, I just followed one of the online guides."

You can also be in with a chance of winning a SubPro! Simply head to the video, subscribe to his channel (if you don't already) and pop ' Submarine' in the comments!
