Great song, enjoyed it very much

Beautiful song! God bless you Darvin.

These are so beautiful ❤ that tone.

I am in love with this song Brother.

You can't make a piezo sound "more" acoustic, the sound it gives IS acoustic. The problem is that most electric guitars produce shitty acoustic sound, because that's not what they're designed for. True hybrids are few and far between, and almost none of them produce both acoustic and magnetic tone righteously. The zebras were designed to offer more tone to acoustic guitars not equipped with a piezo that gives true acoustic sound, but a magnetic that simulates it based on string movement. The stainless core registers better with a magnetic.

John Pearse makes pure nickel acoustic strings. Have you tried those?

So in plain English...what does this do?

If you're using different outputs for the magnetic and the piezo signal (I always do, using a piezo signal in standard guitar amp is useless to me) you can try an IR box with some good acoustic IRs. I have a pretty cheap unit (Nux Mini Studio) and the results are WAY better than with only the piezo signal direct. No need for effects/processors/preamps (although you can add something), just Piezo Output -> IR box -> PA (or FR monitor; or DAW; etc.)

150? 😂

Sadly I wanted to try one of these sets but sadly DR stopped making them.

Hi. What does the isolated output do differently than the direct out?

I Can See!!!

Put some acoustic strings on it-it works great with piezo. Never mind, you already did it! :)

A well crafted song. Very nice

Thank you for sharing your experience!!

9:04-9:10 CONDUCT ELECTRICITY??? That's something that EVERY METAL does! It's TOTALLY IRRELEVANT! What's relevant is whether the metal is MAGNETIC or not, because you use magnetic pick-ups! You already stated that the tension of these strings is heavier, so we can assume that the STEEL CORE is THICKER. That combined with the steel windings should provide enough magnetic material to cause magnetic flux changes above the pickups when the strings swing and therewith create an electromagnetic signal.

Thank you Capt. Jordan!

It sounds like your neck tension is too tight and can be relaxed a bit. These are heavier gauge strings so that will affect the action.

I have these on acoustic and the E string sounds dead out of the box.

How do you change the battery

Round CORE strings are sweet but hard to find for acoustic

There are made for and acoustic electric maybe that's why?

I like that ending... very honest +1 sub for you

Liked the blooper too.

Thanks for the review! It was very informative. I I just bought a Godin LGX-SA and was going to switch to Zebra but after seeing this and reading other reviews it doesn't appear Zebras are an all around solution in getting a more authentic acoustic tone without sacrifices the electric tone. What strings did you decided to end up using?

Wow you are playing it soo bad but your gear is awesome dude

thank you for a great video....you are addressing a concern that many players have trying to decide between phosphor bronze or nickel wound strings for their electric guitars with a piezo pickup.

I tried a couple sets of Zebras on my archtop electric. Both times they were dead before the gig ended. Very disappointing because they gave me the sound that I wanted for the first hour or so. Shortest lifespan of any string that I have ever tried. I don't understand why.

Just get a damn acoustic guitar! That simple! Thats why we have different styles, strings, makes and models of guitars for them all to sound different.

Man, you got some sweet axes!

I am wondering about how much quality loss there is. I have a studio, with stageboxes, patchbays and a desk that I can use for headphonemix. I want to record with standalone converters and use their preamps and phantom power. I would get this box to be able to do an easy headphonemix, with zero latency. But is it worth it?

What's the difference between the "direct" output and the "isolated" output? Also, is it safe/advisable to use this primarily as a line-level splitter? I can't find any rackmounted 1 to 2 XLR based line-level splitters anywhere. :(

I have used a lot of DR strings on acoustics.. and always had the low E go dead very quick ? now i see guys on here with the same problem ?? The DR s i was using a lot are Sunbeams, i just bought a Gibson J45 of a guy and he gave me a new set of DRs i put them on and the bass E string is going dead already ? I think i will be changing the brand...

Buy an acoustic man, it might save you some money :)

thanks for the demo :) will give those a miss and stick with my nano strings. God bless from Wales,UK

Strange... I've used Zebra's for decades, and never had that happen... wonder if they've run into a bad batch...

Helo. What did you use to make that sound like a synthesizer? How is that done? Very cool.Thanks

Gonna be honest here I thought this was a review for zebrastrings bow and crossbow strings

and let me clarify when I say metal I'm not referring to the 80's or metallica. I mean something like korn-lies or sound garden-fourth of July. now those have some heavy guitars. again thank you there is a nitch for these strings but I doubt they will ever catch on ;)

I think it was Marty Friedman who puts tape on the strings near the nut to kinda deaden that new string sound. all in all you've put a smile on my face, I didn't find the acoustic sound I was looking for but I did find a new metal tone. thank you, I assure you metal heads would appreciate that dead sound *with distortion. reminds me of black sabbath

sounded pretty metal honestly. that dead sound with distortion is beautiful, many metal heads like that 'heavy tone'. turns it up please -gholom my precious

I need something like this for our in ear system. But I need it to have XLR INPUT on per channel and on sme channel have XLR OUT. And 1/4 out for the near do they make one?

I just bought a set of neon dr.'s just for fun. Not for me at all, I play with my nails and the coating on the strings came right off after playing for an hour or so and they sound dead from the get go. Love the fly, I play with the magnetic and piezo both a lot, nice full sound. The piezo alone just never sounds acoustical, better to have an acoustic guitar.

Hi Darvin Jordan thank you for this informative video. It is very very helpful. I wish you can help me out if is possible. I have a mini recording studio. I actually have a focus rite ISA 428 connected to an ART Pro VLA II compressor and from the compressor to the dvx 166XL compressor limiter/gate and finally to my apogee duet which has a breakout cable with two XRL inputs, two monitors inputs and two 1/4" TS instrument inputs. I'm interesting in add a tube mic preamp, and since you are talking about splitter lines I would like know, if possible, how can I hook these two mic preamps within the same two XLR inputs. I will really appreciate any suggestion. Thank you again for sharing this awesome informative video

loved the review man, thanks for the video really useful. Any chance you could do a comparison between the parker and the godin lgxt. I'm looking to purchase ont of those models and they all sound great on video but a side to side comparison would be really helpful!

I love the way they sound with the piezo, but I would never use them on a strat, or any electric guitar that you want that classic "electric" sound from. I would definitely use them on a modelling guitar, maybe something like a Godin A6, for when you really want that acoustic characteristic. But uh, yeah, keep them the hell away from my strat :)

I guess I just haven't experienced this or maybe I don't notice it. I've had DR Zebras on my Carvin AE-185 for months, and they sound as incredibly great as when I put them on. I couldn't believe how good they were when I put them on, and last night playing I still couldn't believe how good they still are.

I have a question about my Ear Force XO Seven headsets by Turtle Beach. What kind of headset splitter would I have to buy to connect my mobile adapter cable, and my headset breakaway cable, and do you know whether if these headsets have a 2 Female to 1 Male connection, a 2 Male to 1 Female connection, or a 2 Male to 1 Male connection. The reason why I'm asking is because I want to combine mobile, and my audio into a 2 in 1 connection.

Hi me and some friends want to start a show on RUclips and there's four of us. So we will need four microphones will we need a splitter for all four? Because we want to video our selfs to. So how can we record video and record sound through our mics at the same time ? Please get back to me thanks. :)
