This is really cool. You are looking at a
1998 Godin Multiac Nylon Duet Ambiance Acoustic-Electric Guitar.
The Godin Multiac Nylon Duet Ambiance is Godin's top of the line Spruce top nylon string electro-acoustic guitar. Equipped with Fishman dual source electronics with mic modeling, the Nylon Duet Ambiance brings totally natural acoustic tones to any playing situation.
From The Web:
Chambered mahogany guitar body features state-of-the-art Fishman custom electronics.
The Godin Multiac Nylon Duet Ambiance acoustic-electric guitar features state-of-the-art custom electronics by Fishman, that allows the player to select between four individual mic settings. Choose between these blendable sound imaging mics via the 4-way selector switch. The Godin Multiac Nylon Duet is an ideal guitar for players looking for an incredible, amplified nylon string sound and feel in a live and loud band setting with virtually no feedback.
The Godin Multiac Duet Ambiance guitar, also features a 25-1/2 in. scale and slimmer nut width than the classically inspired Grand Concert Duet Ambiance, making this nylon-string guitar easy for electric steel string players to transition to nylon strings. This Godin guitar features a chambered mahogany body with a solid spruce top, as well as a dual source preamp with feedback control and under saddle transducer.
This nylon-string Godin guitar features state- of-the-art custom electronics by Fishman, allowing the player to blend the sound of the undersaddle transducer with 4 individual virtual microphone models.
You can choose among the 4 blendable sound imaging mics via a 4-way selector switch. Mic models include the Danish Pro Audio Small- Diaphragm Condenser Mic, Soundelux E47 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Mic, and the Schoeps CMC64G Small-Diaphragm Condenser Mic at both close-mic position and at a distance of 16 in.
The Godin Multiac guitars represent the cr¨me de la cr¨me of the acoustic-electric guitar world. Whether you're recording, performing or just looking for an incredible plugged-in sound, these acoustic-electric guitars deliver superb results.
What We Found:
To see how it sounded, we tested the Multiac Duet Ambiance using a BBE Acoustimax acoustic preamp direct into to a QSC K10 powered 2-way speaker. The sound sources for the guitar are a blend-able bridge transducer and body microphone. We found that the guitar had the best blend of warmth and high end with just a touch more body mic than bridge transducer. However, this is highly dependent on your particular sound system and room acoustics and as they say: Your results may vary.
The four mic presets are modeled after famous recording mics for acoustic guitar: Neumann U87, DPA 4011, Soundelux E47, and Schoeps CMC64g. The differences between the presets are noticeable, and you can think of these as fining tuning presets for dialing in live sound, or when recording. Not being an expert on microphones it's hard to say how faithful these models are to the real thing. But each position had an easily discernable difference in the overall feel and response of the guitar. It's quite likely you will find a favorite position and just stick with it, but it's good to have options.
There is also a push button phase switch as part of the control package, and you'll definitely want to experiment with this too. Acoustic guitars are much more sensitive than a solid body guitar with respective to being in phase with the host amplification system and speakers. The test for proper phase is strictly by ear, but you'll know it when you hear it, and the correct phase will sound much fuller and warmer.
For those who have struggled to get a good live sound with real acoustic, dealt with feedback, or just worried about banging up their prized acoustic, the Multiac Duet Ambiance makes a very convincing argument to never bring a real acoustic to a gig. It's comfortable, plays very well, and the sound is so natural that unless you
must be seen
playing a true acoustic, it's the obvious choice for live gigs. This guitar makes a ton of sense for recording too, and for laying down quick tracks with minimal fuss it's a no-brainer. Actually for most people with limited budgets for pro audio gear, the Duet Ambiance may be the
only
the guitar you need.
Godin really excels in the category of electro-acoustic guitars, and the Multiac Nylon Duet Ambiance is another great example of the breed. By providing even more control functionality, the Nylon Duet Ambiance raises the bar for professional performance and recording instruments.
