I have a two channel Markley pickup on my Martin dread. The output jack socket is stereo. The idea is that you use a Y cable so that you get two separate signals out- one from the magnetic soundhole pickup and one from the under saddle pickup. The blended sound is supposed to be an ideal combination of the two.
Thats fine if you have a Y cable and two channels on your amp.
However, if one goes along to an open mic, with a single cable available into a DI box... I just get one channel. And it seems to be the twangy more artificial sounding of the two. Is there any easy solution? Or did I go wrong getting a fancy dual pickup system in the first place and should look for something which is solid simple and natural instead!!!?
