MAGUS‑Octopus / Universal Pickup System by Ortega
30 $
The Ortega Universal Pickup System is a universal‑mount acoustic pickup built for versatility, compatibility, and convenience:
-
Works with a wide range of acoustic instruments — guitars, basses, ukuleles, mandolins, resonators, banjos, violins, etc., making it ideal for multi‑instrument shops or musicians with varied rigs.
-
Simple installation — uses either permanent double‑sided adhesive or removable pads/plasticine; no drilling or permanent modification required.
-
Standard output — comes with a 6.3 mm / 1/4″ TRS output jack and ~45 cm cable, making it compatible with amps, pedalboards, interfaces, or mixers.
-
Secure mounting option — includes a small strap‑pin attachment for the jack plug so the cable stays safe and stable during playing.
-
Passive design — no battery, preamp, or complicated wiring needed; just plug and play.
This makes the pickup an excellent choice for:
-
Acoustic‑electric setups without permanent mods
-
Quick, temporary amplification for gigs, rehearsals, or busking
-
Musicians who own multiple acoustic instruments and want one universal pickup to move between them
Compact, reliable, and budget‑friendly — the Ortega Universal Pickup System is a practical solution for players needing a usable pickup fast, without the commitment of a built‑in installation.
