I've also been happy with my Anthem SL rig, but dialing it in (to suit my taste) with just the mic level screw was impossible for me. The best I could do was a tone which was simultaneously too muddy in the bass and too shrill on the treble end. I finally got satisfaction using a Zoom A3's EQ capabilities to tame both the bass end and the treble end. With the A3, I can run a six band graphic EQ and a two band parametric EQ in series. It also has an additional three band manual EQ which can be used for quick & dirty adjustments at the gig.
On the one occasion that I mistakenly left the A3 at home, I found that I could approximate my EQ adjustments with a seven band Boss graphic EQ.
Of the many mono output pickups that I've tried to date, the Anthem SL has been my favorite.
