This is one of the things I like about the Dazzo and the Trance. I feel I don't have to change the way I play when I plug in. I still feel like I am playing the guitar, not the pickup. I can't say the same about K and K because I never had one that I didn't have to EQ the heck out of it or add a mic to get it to sound natural enough.
Wouldn't mind trying the Barbara some day.

No worries! What I meant by that statement is that sometimes the most natural tone is best for certain situations. Not saying the Trance or Dazzo can't handle hard strumming, it's just that what I want out of a plugged in guitar when I strum is a big, bold tone and the Trance for me didn't provide this. It kind of reminded me of the Lyric; very natural but without that enhanced bass that I like. I just meant that if I was primarily a finger picker, I could definitely use the Trance live as it sounds quite nice in that setting.
I will say this though, I am not writing off the Trance and will be using it for a future guitar. I know my Taylor is bright and I think the Trance was just amplifying these frequencies. I would love to try it in my Larrivee but unfortunately I have the K&K in there and I really don't want to get into sanding down the bridge plate to make it work. I am hopeful that in the near future I can get a new guitar and try the Amulet again.
I too would love to try the Barbera system.
