JourneyTek Passive 3-piezo Pickup EP201KM

Journey Instruments Pickups

The EP201KM Passive Piezo Pickup is an elegant pickup solution for transparent tone to amplify the natural sound of your acoustic guitar. Installation requires no modification to your guitar apart from drilling the endpin jack hole and gluing the elements to the bridge plate.

This model differs from our other pickups in that it has smaller 12mm piezo pickups for use on guitars with small bridge plates (Such as the Martin Jr. or Taylor GS Mini). It also includes a flanged 3-screw input jack assembly for use with GS Mini and other models requiring a flanged output.

• 3 balanced German-made ceramic piezo elements – 12mm diameter
• Standard 1/4 inch (6.3mm) mono output jack
  • 2.5mm mono input jack from piezo elements
  • 3-screw input jack assembly for use with GS Mini and other models requiring a flanged output.

• NOTE: As this is an endpin jack, you may consider buying our Journey Guitar Strap which is slit to fit this endpin. Otherwise, you may need to enlarge the hole for your strap.

Customer Reviews:

“I have installed your dual source pickup system on my Martin CEO 7 few days ago and I still can’t believe how good it sounds… It’s absolutely amazing! As compare with LR Baggs Lyric it’s definitely another world. You’ve done the best pickup system on the market for sure.”

“I received and installed my acoustic pickup.  OMG it sounds amazing.  Blew my mind it’s honestly so good I am removing my LR Baggs Anthem from my other acoustic and replacing it with another one of your pickups!”- Matt, Worship Leader, CA

“I am completely amazed at the sound! I have a 1920s parlorish guitar and it sounds phenomenal, great work! Like butter! F***in’ A!” – Doug, Texas

“I just want too thank you!!! The pickup in my Yamaha acoustic/electric bit the dust and I came across reviews of your passive pickups. My son and I installed them today and…. OMG my guitar sounds truly amazing. I was skeptical but no longer.” – Bruce, California

“I just received my Journey acoustic pickup and I didn’t waste any time getting to work on the installation. I have a Takamine that had a previously installed preamp and piezo bridge. So before I could install the Journey pickup I had to carefully remove the old system that had died after after about 9 years of faithful service. My bridge presented a minor challenge because it is pin less. I was able to find three locations to attach the pads and within 30 minutes I was tuning up my strings and plugging in to test out my work. Plugged into my Bose S1 Pro direct without any preamp was my first test. I have to say that I was really impressed with the tone! Next test was going through my NUX Floor Stageman Acoustic pedal. Now I had a sound that I would be confident to use anywhere. My other guitar is a Martin Black Smoke 000-17 with a LR Baggs Anthem SL installed in it. I played both guitars back to back to compare the tones. I was shocked at how close the tones were. The Anthem cost 4 times as much as the Journey! I will definitely purchase another one should I ever need to do this again! Thanks Journey!” – Chris, Maryland
