Fishman Jerry Douglas Signature Series Aura Imaging Guitar Effects Pedal
Called Dobros matchless contemporary master, by The New York Times and lauded as my favorite musician by rock legend John Fogerty, Jerry Douglas could have been a musical innovator on any number of instruments. However, as a teenager, Douglas adopted the then relatively obscure and unexplored Dobro guitar. That decision has helped him carve out a unique place in American music where he has wielded incalculable influence on bluegrass and its many related genres.The JD Signature pedal comes pre-loaded with 16 custom Aura images created by Jerry Douglas, specifically for resophonic guitars. Easy to set up and use, the Jerry Douglas Signature Aura Imaging Pedal removes the need to mic your instrument on stage, eliminating spurious stage noise and intrusive microphone setups. With the Jerry Douglas Signature Aura Imaging Pedal, you get the true, unique voice of your resophonic instrument, on stage or in the studio.The Jerry Douglas Signature Aura Pedal features 16 custom Fishman Aura Images created and used by Jerry Douglas specifically for resophonic guitars. The effect pedal features 24 bit A/D/A; 32 bit internal processing, volume, blend, and image select controls, a feedback-fighting phase switch, bypass/mute foot switch, and input trim with clip/low battery indicator. Runs on 9V battery or Fishman 910R or suitable power adapter (not included).Larry Fishman developed this Signature Series Aura Pedal with a world-class team of professionals, including musician Jerry Douglas, recording studio engineer Bil VornDick, and renowned resonator builder Paul Beard, to bring you the most realistic amplified tone available.

Stellar unit Although the Aura is designed for the Fishman Nashville Series resophonic pickups I find it works nicely with all my acoustics, and I even get some useful sounds with my American thinline Tele. I’m especially impressed with the dynamic mic reproductions I get with both my Dobro Hound Dog with Fishman electronics, and my RC4 bell brass duolian resonator with a Lace Sensor. It’s a professional looking pedal with a range of sound control features like pickup blend,clipping,and feedback phase…
Essential if you have the Fishman Nashville Pickup I’d have given this five stars, except the first one I received had a short in it; it would only work if I held the volume knob while trying to play. That was hardly practical. Fortunately, Amazon promptly replaced it, but I’m still a bit disappointed that something with such an obvious defect made it through Fishman’s quality control.Now that I’ve got that out of the away, let me say that this pedal is the ultimate for getting your piezo-equipped acoustic to sound as if it were…
