Ellipse Blend in a Larrivee OM?

[pushinforty]

I have an OM-05MT with a Fishman Matrix pickup installed and I'm considering adding the Ellipse blend.  Has anyone tried this on a Larrivee OM?  I read in an old post on another forum that the Ellipse won't fit Larrivee guitars.  Is that still true?  Michael

Not true, I've got one in my LV-09. It's just Sweet!!! I'm not an expert on amplification, but I'm very impressed with it ability. Plus the Luthier who installed it knows his stuff and highly recommended it. I love the ability to blend both the ust and mic the way u want it. Very flexible.

Have you considered the Larrivee IMIX system? They have a no cut version (no need to cut the side open). Controls in the sound hole like the Ellipse too.

I already have the matrix installed under the saddle so I'd rather not pay for a new pickup - I'd prefer to add the mic. 

Rescon,  did you add the mic/blender after the pickup was already installed?  If so, do you know if there was any soldering required?  Fishman's site has been down and I haven't been able to download the installation guide for the ellipse.    Michael

The mic and UST was done all at once.
