The New Kepma Acoustifex GO…Now add studio quality effects to your favorite guitar

Imagine sitting in your living room with your favorite acoustic guitar and hearing stunning reverbs, delay and chorus without being plugged into an amp… that’s exactly what the new Kepma AcoustiFex GO system gives you. The Kepma AcoustiFex GO is a pickup, preamp and effects system you can put on your favorite acoustic to enhance your tone and mix in studio-quality effects, all without the need for external amplification.

And, when you need to plug in, the AcoustiFex GO gives you an amazing sounding magnetic pickup AND an onboard condenser microphone with a blend control… PLUS you get all the available effects and controls right at your fingertips. It’s powered by a rechargeable 18650 lithium ion mega battery that provides you with up to 25 hours of continuous playing time on a single charge (micro USB charging cable included).

CREATIVE FUEL — REGULAR AND UNPLUGGED…

The new Kepma AcoustiFex GO gives you the ability to mix in a room or hall reverb PLUS a delay or chorus effect without the need for external amplification. It has been said by many pro songwriters that the sound they get from the Kepma AcoustiFex GO adds a new level of inspiration for them in the “heat” of the creative process that provides additional jet fuel for their process. And why wouldn’t it? The Kepma AcoustiFex GO gives you a whole new sound perspective on what a pure acoustic should sound like.

PLUG IN

When you plug your Kepma AcoustiFex GO into an amp or mixing console, your guitar comes into its second life — you’ll hear amazing acoustic sound — the true sound of your guitar — mixed with studio quality effect that will take your playing to a different world. The Kepma AcoustiFex GO combines the clarity and fullness of an under-string magnetic pickup with the warmth, richness and full frequency spectrum of a condenser microphone situated right in the sweet spot. What’s cool about that is you can control the mix between the two with your fingertips, right on the fly.

TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT INSTALL

The beauty of the new Kepma AcoustiFex GO system is that you can temporarily install it on any guitar, or do a quick permanent install — everything you need is included. The AcoustiFex GO Owners Guide gives you detailed instructions on the process for both, so either way you’ll be jamming with amazing effects and tone in mere seconds. And without major surgery to your instrument.

Transferring your AcoustiFex GO to another Guitar…

If you would like to move your AcoustiFex GO to another guitar, we first recommend that you purchase an additional transducer unit to install in that instrument. If this isn’t an option for you, you CAN remove the transducer and move it to another guitar, BUT BE CAREFUL…The double stick adhesive is quite strong and just pulling/tearing it off can separate the magnet/voice coil from the diaphragm.

TO REMOVE THE TRANSDUCER, we recommend using a razor blade to start to break the adhesive seal by sliding the blade side underneath the transducer plate, essentially where the adhesive attaches to the guitar. Once the blade is in place, you can very slowly apply upward gentle pressure on the blade to loosen the transducer from the guitar. You can also use fine string such as fishing line or floss to get underneath the edge of one of the sides of the diaphragm and use a back and forth action to break the adhesive bond.  Once removed, scrape the remaining residue off the metal surface.  If that does not completely remove the adhesive, clean the remaining glue using cleaner agents like Goo Gone / Krud Kutter or lacquer thinner / rubbing alcohol..

Your AcoustiFex GO comes with additional 3M double sided adhesive pads to replace on the diaphragm first and then you can remove the opposite adhesive cover and reapply the transducer to your new guitar.

Cable Noise? Don’t Worry, there’s a fix for that…

If after you install the AcoustiFex GO and hear a “static” or “bad cable” distortion sound, it is most likely due to a protective coating on the 1/8” plug that goes to the end pin ¼” jack. The protective film coating is applied at the factory to prevent any moisture from harming or rusting the cable’s connector.

To remove this coating, simply wipe the plug with fine sandpaper or wire wool. You can also use a cleaning fluid such as WD-40 or isopropyl alcohol. Once the plug is cleaned, insert the plug into the 1/8” jack repeatedly 4-5 times to clear any residue of the coating that might have been transferred to the jack.
