The Shadow 141 belongs to the family of magnetic pickups dedicated to the folk guitar. The goal is clear: to achieve practical amplification with a stable and usable signal for concerts, home studios, or rehearsals. Its single coil architecture favors articulation and clarity, preserving a sharp attack and expressive playing.
This pickup is aimed at acoustic guitarists who want to keep it simple: plug in, play, stay consistent. It is particularly suitable if you alternate between rhythm and arpeggios and seek a well-defined projection in a mix. The absence of a tuner and built-in tone controls makes it an ideal solution if you already manage your sound through an acoustic amp, mixing console, or pedalboard.
The Shadow 141 focuses on a minimalist approach: no built-in preamp, no notch filter, no brightness control knob. The result: immediate usability and sound adjustment entirely in your hands (external EQ, DI box, stage preamp, etc.). Note: the power supply via 2 CR2032 batteries is specified for this model, without a low battery indicator; therefore, anticipation (spare batteries in the case) remains the best practice before a live performance.
