Fishman Triple Play Connect 3-stars Reviews

It's alright... but there's still a lot to improve

It's definitely one of the best midi-guitar synths out there, but I think there's still lots to improve. The little unit feels a little too fragile. The pickup feels a bit cumbersome: what is that little "appendage" on the top? Couldn't it be as small as the Roland hex pickup? Why does the wire has to be so small and non-replaceable? I wish I could hook it up to my guitar strap or put it on the back instead of having it on the front. Also, that tiny USB connection looks like a disaster waiting to happen, so it's just for bedroom use, or very light studio work.

The latency is very noticeable to me, and you can't play too softly. You lose a lot most of the expressivity afforded by a guitar. But to be fair, pretty much every other solutions are also like this.

On the plus sides, the price is ok. Kudos to Fishman for making something affordable for all of us. Plus, it works as a real MIDI converter: you don't need any software on your computer, so it will keep working for years to come instead of going obsolete like anything computer-related.
