[QUOTE=mondoslug;7269010]Just leave the Element under the saddle...and clip the wires.
I get that many say it alters their tone but you've had it under there all this time & apparently it hasn't bothered you I think, just leave it.[/QOUTE] Yes, I could do that but the Anthem SL sounds as good (to me) as any of the HiFi rigs that I’ve heard. I also suspect that it’s less feedback prone than the HiFi. It’s interesting to me that the Anthem systems were introduced way back in 2011 and it’s still the best mono system out there for my taste. I recently found this 10 year old gig recording with the same system in the guitar that’s in it today. Albeit, the system was repaired once by Baggs support and is ready to be replaced permanently. https://youtu.be/WuaidoaAO8Y |

Oh yeah, I'm not saying otherwise...I misunderstood - won't be the last time. I thought that was a reason you didn't want to try it because of the saddle height/action.

We have a winner! I'm with this as I love the Anthem SL in my Larrivee for gigging.

I probably should have been more positive about the Anthem SL in my original post. “It served me well” is a pretty generic endorsement. |

Placebo (and social media) effect.

I’m a few weeks into a low carb life style so I’ll skip the popcorn.

The Anthem has a very mid-forward sound, which people will either love or hate. It can also sound very bright and thin if too much mic is dialed in. The HiFi seems to have more fullness to the sound and sounds more like "the guitar but louder" to me. I haven't heard the WiFi in person yet, but have a lot of experience with the Anthem. It seems to sound great in large dreads but not so great in smaller body guitars. Not sure why that is?
