Dynamics, atmosphere, and percussion.
Jon Gomm is an exceptional artist, known for his innovative style and ability to use the acoustic guitar in surprising ways. His slapping and tapping technique, combined with retuning, allows him to create a wide range of sounds and atmospheres, making his performances unique and engaging. His collaboration with Fishman to develop a pickup system specifically designed to capture his distinctive style is a significant step, as it allows the nuances and dynamics of his performances to be transmitted more faithfully. This type of technology is essential for musicians who want to preserve the integrity of their sound when performing live or in studio sessions, and in Jon Gomm's case, it is a way to do justice to the complexity of his musical approach. His talent and innovation have certainly inspired many other artists and continue to push the boundaries of the contemporary acoustic guitar genre.

Deeply emotional, intimate, and powerful.
His songs are often deeply emotional, with or without his soft, poignant voice. And his live performances are intimate and powerful, yet always punctuated by his natural Northern English wit and self-deprecating humor. The Jon Gomm Signature PowerTap Earth Pro series features Fishman's premium Rare Earth Mic Blend pickup combined with a body-sensor Tap pickup to capture percussive elements and natural dynamics without the risk of feedback.

Increased performance flexibility.
The Rare Earth pickup offers a pickup-mounted low-frequency extension switch for increased performance flexibility. Additionally, the PowerTap Earth Pro includes an endpin jack-mounted preamp with the option of using a second jack for more output options (stereo breakout adapter included).

Jon Gomm plays his song "Check If You're Still Breathing" with his brand new FISHMAN PowerTap Earth Pro Signature system! English musician Jon Gomm is a singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist with a virtuosic and revolutionary style, in which he uses the acoustic guitar to recreate drum sounds, bass lines, and complex and engaging melodies all at the same time.

"I've been using the Fishman Rare Earth Mic Blend for many years as the backbone of my sound. It combines a magnetic humbucker for clarity, power, and warmth, and a condenser microphone for naturalness, realism, and percussive response. But for me, they've added a new element, called PowerTap, which is a wood-mounted sensor that provides that third dimension, including rich and infinitely deep bass but - miraculously - without feedback. And these 3 elements - magnetic, mic, and sensor - can be blended with two hidden and handy blend controls inside your guitar. Or you can split the 3 elements and connect them to separate channels on your amp, mixer, or interface and process them all separately with any EQ and effects you desire. Basically, it's a dream!" - Jon Gomm -
