ive owned kk pickups for a long time and struggled sometimes with feedback, to the point of going to a mag pickup imstead, finally found the solution for me is the headway edb1. ive written extensively on why, but to boil it down, the biggest problems with the k&k come from bass frequencies getting out of control. the edb1 has a high pass filter that allows you to completely kill all bass below a selectable frequency point depending on what works in a given situation. this can be much more effective when you are facing feedback than a notch filter, and what i realized in using it is that good realistic acoustic tone doesnt include as much bass as one would expect especially in a band situation where there may already be a bass, and where louder volume levels bring on feedback problems. cutting out low bass cleans up a lot of what will cause problems, at their source.
