Historically, acoustic guitar amplification has been a compromise between tone and feedback rejection. Studio microphones sound great, but they’re too feedback prone for most live situations. Under-saddle pickups have somewhat better feedback rejection, but they still need a feedback buster and phase flip, and even with all that, they still sound thin and harsh.
At Go Acoustic Audio, we set out to design a pickup system that doesn’t compromise either tone or feedback rejection. Through sophisticated acoustic, mechanical, and electrical design, we have developed a system that is unrivaled in feedback rejection. And not only that, our feedback reducing technology actually improves tone! So even if you don’t need unrivaled amounts of feedback rejection, you still get the benefit of having the most dynamic, articulate, and natural sounding system available.
Feedback Control
Great tone doesn’t mean much if your performance is dominated by feedback. That’s one of the main reasons why studio mics aren’t used for most live performances. At Go, we believe that feedback rejection is the foundation on which everything else must be built. If a pickup can’t keep up with your environment, you need something else. Don’t be held back by the limitations of your current system.
Dynamic, Articulate, and Natural Tone
Feedback rejection is essential, but if it comes at the cost of compromised tone, your ability to artistically express yourself will be limited. That means tone can’t be compromised, even in the most demanding situations. So, what’s the secret of great tone? It’s simple, the sound of your guitar coming out the PA system must be the natural acoustic sound of your guitar. At Go Acoustic Audio, our goal is to deliver the natural acoustic sound of your guitar in whatever situation you find yourself — it’s in our name.

Hexaphonic Design
All of our pickup systems are hexaphonic, which means there is a separate pickup for each string on the guitar. The hexaphonic design gives us the ability to use advanced analog signal processing in the preamp to create the natural tone and feedback resistance our systems are known for. The hexaphonic design also means adding MIDI access is as simple as adding the jack and MIDI controls.
Optional Features — MIDI, Microphone
At Go Acoustic Audio, we know that guitarists have many requirements besides great tone and feedback rejection. That’s why our pickup systems allow you to add the features you need. Whether you need MIDI access or an onboard microphone, we’ve got you covered.
