Installing and using your Autolycus Pickup:   Here is what the Autolycus Pickup offers. Good tone: The pickup is mounted on the body of the fiddle. This enhances the lower frequency response. The Autolycus pickup is held close to the soundpost picking up ALL the tonal complexities of the instrument from which they are derived. Handling noise is not an issue when playing. The pickup may also be moved along the f hole for subtle but non-critical tone preferences. One spring clip and two ties hold the pickup in place. (Autolycus-"Snapper up of inconsidered trifles") Good output volume: High sensitivity and optimum positioning initiate a good signal to noise ratio at the true source of the sound for subsequent amplification. NO Acoustic Muting: Muting in not an issue with this mounting due to the insignificant relative mass and positioning of the pickup. The pickup does not interfere with the sensitive bridge or the transfer of string vibrations. NO Adhesives or Screws: Only a rubber covered spring clip holds the pickup in position and small cable ties secure the cable to the tail piece. This allows Fitting in two or three minutes with modest care. No particular expertise is needed. Modifications are not required to any instrument. The possibility of damage or marks to an instrument is minimised. The spring clip is re-usable, a standby instrument could be quickly fitted if necessary with only a couple of extra cable ties - or even some "emergency string"! If you are concerned at dropping the clip into the instrument, attach a temporary cotton The pickup is fitted with a RCA female connector to match the male plug on the Autolycus Pedal. To plug directly into a different amplifier a short cable is recommend and would usually require a '1/4 inch' jack plug on one end and a RCA male plug on the other end for the Autolycus pickup. Now, what do you do when the vocalist gives you the nod for that lead-break when you're not expecting it? .  No problem... with an Autolycus PEDAL! THE PEDAL - CHECK IT OUT HERE!
