Peche a la Mouche Demo Video?
Hi
I was wondering if someone could post a youtube demo video showing the different sounds the Peche can get, as indicated in Chris & Sam's video ("depending on your EQ settings"). Does this require a preamp, or just EQ on an acoustic amp? Does the electric sound just come from a tube or other type amp?
There's literally only a couple youtube video demos of it: they sound electric. Period.
I get the practical concerns that make it #1 but this has always confused me: I always assumed Peche was very much a late-Django electric sound, a really great sound, and pretty magnetic is all I hear when I see videos of people using it. But, on the balance, most gipsy-jazzers don't primarily play with that sound---"acoustic" still has to be the standard sound, right? Hence Pro70, but if that's the case, how can Peche be #1? I'm not picky, if it can sound fairly acoustic, then fine, wow, that's great---acoustic sound and the best electric sound too!! But I watch a lot of videos and I can't point to any that show playing with Peche that have an acoustic sound (or how to achieve it, for that matter), so I never sprung for it. Then Chris & Brad come out saying it's the "go-to" for almost everyone. Really? I see a lot of Pro70s but Peche doesn't seem very dominant unless electric is the sound you want---and that's not the go-to sound, is it??
If nothing else, I think sales would benefit from a demo of it from Michael himself for the website to show how indispensable it is, not that I care who does a video.
Thanks!

The peche will always sound like a magnetic pick up and can't ever replace a microphone when it comes to a pure acoustic sound.
That being said the difference in sound will be very noticeable depending on what kind of amp you use. A tube amp will get you that electric Django sound but a pure acoustic amp (like the Roland acoustic or the ACUS) will sound a lot more acoustic with a peche. That's maybe what I should have said but in the heat of the moment I chose different (and slightly confusing, I admit) words!
