Environment and
Playing Style:
The LB6 is the most stable and feedback-resistant non-magnetic pickup
available. It works well in large venues with loud stage volumes, and
has a dynamic string response that is able to effectively cut through
the mix of a band. The LB6 is excellent for fingerpicking, flatpicking,
heavy strumming, and cutting through the mix with a solo.
Use:
The LB6 pickups will sound best when used with a high-quality,
high-impedance ( >= 4.7 megohm) onboard or outboard preamp with
a minimum gain of 9dB and EQ into a good full-range PA.
The LB6 pickup will not work directly into a PA board, "low Z" inputs,
line inputs and many wireless transmitters.
The LB6 can be plugged directly into most combo amps, acoustic amps or
effects with a minimum 1Meg input impedance. However, we generally
recommend using a high-quality onboard or outboard preamp with the LB6.
The LB6 also works with the Dual Source Preamp (available independently
of our Dual Source System), which has an additional mic input, and
works in stereo mode via our Stereo Y Cable. The Dual Source Preamp
plugs into any line input, amp or effect. A third option is our Duet
II-LB6 system, which pairs the LR Baggs LB6 pickup with the Duet II
onboard preamp/equalizer.
Finally, the LB6 can also be used with any of the LR Baggs outboard
preamps, including the Para D.I., Feedback Master, Mixpro or Gigpro.
