It’s also a bit painful to tune, requiring that you pay attention to individual string balance on the output signal via adjusting the poles. I find that each guitar requires its own settings and even a battery change on the pickup ( which forces a pickup body dismount) upsets the works.

It’s for that reason I own two - one for each guitar. I love the pickup btw. I also love the full Anthem, but that’s off topic....

Maybe a Duncan SA6 magmic is a better choice for quick swapping.
Can you "swap" him under 10 minutes?
I thought about the full anthem... But I don't want to alter the acoustic sound of the guitar, and would still need another pickup. I prefer the amulet m... Great sound without any alterations.
Would use it with a cheaper guitar though... Is it plug'n'play as in plug into any amp and have a decent sound?

Also... Does the Seymour Duncan Woody sound any good? It's suposedly made to be "swapable", not sure if it would be good with the weissenborn (higher strings and all).

And... Is the preamp necessary even with an acoustic oriented combo amp like the loudbox series?
