Contact microphones?

Pedals
1

Just as there is a midi cable on the site, have you considered endorsing-or making one, for that matter-a contact microphone? I can imagine it would be a successful add-on product for the site.

For those of you yet inundated, the Ghosts manual does not encourage placing the pedal directly on cymbals and drum heads.

While we’re at it, is there one that anyone here would like to chime in as their tried and true? We’re talking an entry level or moderate boundary mic, lavaliers, or just some little discs that folks tape to plants and stuff?

This is the piezo mic we use inside the pedal.

You would have to solder it up to a quarter inch jack or cable to plug it into Ghosts.

There are also lots of listings online for products that already have a piezo mic soldered to a quarter inch jack + adhesive attached.

Any microphone + impedance adapter or preamp would also get you the same (or better) result.

If anyone is interested in a high-quality external contact mic from a bespoke builder (much like Kinotone!) I highly recommend Metal Marshmallow. These are the some of the best contact mics on the market in my opinion.
