The TC pickups are designed
specifically for tricone type resonator guitars.
This
pickup has proven to be very popular with our players and artists and it
provides great sound quality with good anti-feedback characteristics. TC
passive models can be installed in a non-invasive manner without any
modifications to your instrument.
NEW
The TC Series
is now available in three passive models and one active preamped model to
meet all your playing needs.
In
active format, the TC-A now comes with
our latest generation of Artist II endpin jack preamp
featuring multiple power capability.
This means that the
preamp can be run from an onboard 9 volt battery, or from
Phantom Power (up to 48 volts dc), or from an outboard battery
box.
So,
the choice is yours: "Do I put a battery in there.....or don't I?"
The TC pickup mounts
to the side of the T Bridge with a very thin layer of supplied putty. As
you can see from the above photo, this particular installation is a more
permanent one and will use either a side mounted jack or our Artist II
preamp.
A very small hole has
been drilled in the deck to allow the pickup lead wire to access the area
under the deck. This would only be done for permanent installations.

and TC Pro
The low profile
jack assembly is only 1/2" high and may be mounted either from a
thin stand-off plate that adheres securely to the area under the
tailpiece or may be mounted directly to the top with 3M VHB tape.
The TC Pro with volume control provides a non-invasive means of
putting an output jack assembly on a tricone without damage.
Each pickup is handbuilt and tested in our workshop to ensure good
sound. As well, each pickup is warranted for a period of two yearsfrom date of purchase to the original purchaser.
A word about 'passive'
and 'active' pickups:
Players who will be plugging directly into a 'normal' guitar amp will
find that they get great sound quality from the TC in passive form. No
preamp should be required in this situation.
Players who must plug directly into a mixing board will most likely
need to preamp their signal in order to match up with what most mixers
require in terms of impedance and signal strength.
If you wish to have the electronics and battery on board the
instrument then you should be purchasing the 'A' or Active models of
the TC.
Should you require the preamp but don't want to put
it and a battery inside your tricone then you should purchase
the TC
in passive format and add one of our outboard
Preamp/DI units to your pickup system.
If you
already own an outboard guitar preamp, the TC pickups in
passive format should work properly with just about anything you
might have.

A note
about preamps, DI's, mixers, boards: This pickup is
designed to work properly running from our pickup into any
normal amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).
Due to design factors inherent in P.A. mixers and boards (and these
vary considerably), if you are running straight into a P.A., then a
Preamp/ DI will most likely
be necessary to boost line signal strength
and lower the impedance so that the mixer
receives a proper signal.
