    Hello!
    Are there any shops in Europe (Berlin Germany) selling EHX shirts ?
    The shipping with UPS is quite expensive :(
    Even the largest music store in Europe Thomann.de has none.
    (The EHX hardware is in stock of course.)

    That’s interesting ! :-)
    My transducer looks similar. It is an RFT brand (east german production) 1kOhm transducer but is connected to the neck. It’s got also a transformer with a volume knob. The position of the transducer at the neck depends on instrument (as or ts).
    I try to post some photos

    This is also my first posting here.:-)
    I want to add that a microphone has a different impedance than a guitar. A lo to high impedance transformer (I use a Audix T50k) must be used. This is not only because of the level it’s also because of the sound.
    My expiriences have shown that a microphone + effects is not useful in loud conditions because of feedback. I’m using a transducer. The same construction wich was used 30 years ago. You see sometimes saxes of this periode with the transducer mount on the neck.
    Good news is that my transducer matches the impedance of guitar effects. Bad news is, that it is really hard to find one of the old transducers. The transducers produced today are crap or way to expensive.
    Would be fun if EHX or other companys would discover sax players (pickup systems)!
    By the way..the QTron+ was the only auto-wah that worked for me ;-).

    have fun
