Description
Some acoustic systems make you choose between the clean, punchy definition of an undersaddle pickup and the airy realism of a microphone. The Ellipse Matrix Blend refuses to pick a side. It pairs Fishman’s Acoustic Matrix—the undersaddle pickup more players trust than any other—with an internal gooseneck condenser mic, letting you dial in your own ratio of the two sources right at the soundhole.
Onboard controls give you volume, blend, and phase, so you can chase down feedback or add air to the sound without ever popping the hood on your guitar. There’s no visible routing or drilled panel; everything stays tucked inside for a stealthy install (professional setup is still recommended). The pivot design opens up for fast 9-volt swaps, and a low battery LED lets you know before you’re caught off guard mid-set. The system ships complete with the Acoustic Matrix undersaddle pickup itself and a Switchjack stereo endpin jack, and this narrow-width pickup can also be found in wide or split versions depending on your saddle.
Bundled in is Fishman’s FT-2 clip-on digital tuner, a fully chromatic tuner that works whether or not your guitar is plugged in. Its adjustable, swivel-mount clip holds firm on headstocks of nearly any shape, and the extra-bright backlit display flips to green the instant you land in tune, with a meter-style readout showing exactly how sharp or flat you are. A single coin cell keeps it running light and unobtrusive.
